In the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding and the excitement that comes with it, details can sometimes be overlooked. Even if you are a meticulous planner, check these helpful tips and tricks to creating special, memorable wedding favours for your wedding party, not just the normal favours for the rest of the wedding guests. You want to thank the people who made your wedding perfect and the following special wedding favours will make sure they know that they are special and contributed to the wedding and the many happy memories that will accompany it. Gift Certificates The next best thing to cold, hard cash is a gift certificate. It is slightly more personal because it implies that you know something about the shopping preferences of the person (which you obviously do, because theyre in your wedding party!) Bookstores, movie rental stores, movie theatres, and restaurants are all good unisex choices for groomsmen and bridesmaids. Spa Day for the Girls The good thing about this special wedding gift for the bridesmaids is that it can be as expensive or as cheap as you need it to be. If you do it at home, you can invest in a manicure/pedicure set and some face masks and go to town! A more expensive, but totally worth it, alternative is to treat the girls to a day at a professional spa. Gift certificates are available, but it might be more special to go with your bridesmaids. Tickets to the Game For groomsmen, an alternative to spa day could be an all guys day at a sporting event of some kind. Any kind of event is an excellent gift, because time is the most valuable of commodities. More traditional Candles, jewelry, cologne, perfume, bagsthese are all more traditional ideas that are less personal, but will be appreciated nonetheless (try to avoid giving the groomsmen candles and/or jewelry though) A gift bag with a combination of the more traditional gifts can be the best gift of all. Though they will appreciate any gift you get them, a nicely written thank you note is always a nice touch, especially for those who have done the most to support the couple in their times of happiness and need. If your wedding party is particularly large, a personal note may only be necessary for the maid of honor or best man. The people in your wedding party are those closest to you. They had a more significant hand in your special day than regular guests and any wedding favours you send them home with will mean more to them because of it. Whereas a wedding favour for a guest is a thank you for their presence, a wedding favour is a thank you for creating the wedding and for the support that all marriages require and that members of the wedding party will undoubtedly provide in the future.About the Author:
