Say Thanks Without Breaking The Bank
September, 16 2016
Thank you. Two little words. Easy to say. But, at times, difficult to show. Especially to those closest to you -- your bridesmaids and groomsmen. However, gratitude doesn’t have to be extravagant. Heart-felt, useful gifts are often best for expressing your appreciation to your wedding party. Our Lily & Lime wedding photographers have captured some great wedding party gifts for those on a budget -- creative ways to say “thanks,” without breaking the bank.
Both bridesmaids and groomsmen will likely spend a chunk of change getting dressed for the big day. Help ease costs for the guys with groomsmen gifts meant to be worn at the wedding.
Dapper in matching bowties.
A different pair for each gent. Great conversation starters. And wedding photography gold!
Or choose a more subtle, perhaps personal, accoutrement. Old-school and always in fashion, cufflinks take any shirt “up a notch.”
Show the ladies some sparkle with one-of-a-kind jewelry from etsy shops and craft fairs.
An infinity symbol says “friends forever” without a word.
Personalizing gifts make them … well, more personal. Adding your gal pals names or initials to everyday items -- wooden hangers, champagne glasses, t-shirts and robes -- makes them special.
Inexpensive glasses from IKEA or Target, plus colored markers and ribbon from any craft store, deem these custom flutes worthy of toasting! (And also erases “Is this my glass?” confusion.)
Beautiful penmanship turn hangers into bridesmaids gifts worth hanging on to. (And also makes for lovely wedding photography detail.)
Remember, presentation is everything. Hint: everything looks better with a bow!
