In order to make the most important day of your life happen, there have been many people to help you along the way. You owe a lot your parents and/or soon to be in-laws. This is not just because they may help with the tab, but also because they have always been there for you. Then there are your bridesmaids who you hold most dear to life. Many brides will admit they couldn’t have made it to the altar without the help of their best friends. After all, they have planned showers, bachelorette party, and given you tons of advice. They have

loved you through your most demanding and ridiculous moments and have made it out alive through planning your dream wedding. All of these people are very special and important to you, and you want to thank them for being apart of your wedding. Here are some ideas that everyone will love and appreciate.

If you want to show your parents and in-laws appreciation for their help you can give them a Kindle loaded with their favorite books. This is a very thoughtful and useful gift. Another great idea is to create a calendar using pictures from your wedding and honeymoon. Picture gifts are always loved and something they can hold onto forever. A great idea for mothers is a beautiful embroidered handkerchief, or a sweet plate commemorating your big day. Theses are very sentimental gifts that mothers love.

Many brides will often treat their bridesmaids to the spa the day before the wedding. If you are unable to spend this much money, take them to get a manicure and pedicure. This is a great time before the wedding for everyone to have fun and relax. A really cute idea I once saw was the bride’s gifts were inspired by the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The bride gave a copy of the movie to everyone along with inexpensive jewelry. The gifts came in Tiffany’s bags. Personalized bags are always a popular and practical gift. Don’t forget to monogram the bag with an elegant font, or a fun nickname. If you really want to save money, you can make each bridesmaid a small scrapbook filled with pictures and sweet notes.

One of the most important gifts is for your soon-to-be husband. You really want to be romantic and show your finance just how much you love him. With the crazy wedding planning and busy schedules, it’s probably been awhile since you have really expressed your feelings in such a romantic way. You can maybe consider writing him a sweet poem, and surprise him by reading it at the rehearsal dinner. Keep your ears open and if he says he really wants something special, get that. Another great idea is to surprise him with a spa day while on your honeymoon. Nothing is more relaxing than a couples massage.

No matter what you choose to do for your loved ones, make sure it is heart felt. They are the people who mean the most to you in life.
