So you’re faced with the daunting task of planning your ideal wedding. You have to find the venue for the reception, select flowers and decoration, and organize the music and catering. You want your big day to be perfect, beautiful, and memorable. When aiming to make it a memorable event, one important detail not to overlook is deciding on the wedding attendee gifts. Your guests are sharing in such a special moment in your life, and a great way to create lasting memories of their time spent celebrating your love is to give them a unique gift that commemorates your big day. Wedding attendant gifts are a great way to show your appreciation of your wedding guests, but it can be tough to come up with unique ideas.
The best way to make your wedding attendee gifts exceptional and unique is to personalize the gift. One terrific idea is to personalize your toasting flutes with an engraving of the bride and groom’s name or the date of the special occasion, and allow your wedding guests to take them home as a souvenir of the event. If you want to mix and match with a him-and-her theme, you could also offer personalized beer mugs for the male wedding guests. For something a little more affordable, you could give your guests personalized key-chains.
There are a variety of options out there that allow you to be creative with creating a unique gift. Personalized wedding attendee gifts allow your guests to take home a little bit of the magic of your special day, and provides them with a token of your gratitude. By sharing in your celebration they are giving you so much and it’s nice to give a little in return. And remember, choosing a unique gift that will get your guests talking is one of the fun aspects of planning your wedding.

In the final chapter of our four part, wedding season gift giving guide, we will discuss different options for bridesmaids gifts.
With exception to the parents of the bride and groom no one does more than the maid of honor to help your wedding run smooth, not only logistically but emotionally. The highs and lows of planning a wedding can become very stressful and having a solid group of bridesmaids can make the process easier and more fun than it would otherwise.
Maid of Honor Gift
The maid of honor is the emotional powerhouse of the wedding. Her main goal is to keep the bride happy and make sure everything is running smoothly. She deserves everything you are willing to give her. Think of her first as your best friend and try to think of something that would have an emotional connection for both of you. In most cases your bond is deep, you should take advantage of that to make her bridesmaid gift special.
Again, these are some of the closest people in your life. Think back into everything they have done to help you throughout this process. From the planning of the bridal shower and bachelorette party, to wedding day assistance. Make this gift special and try to personalize it.
In conclusion to our four part series we want to stress the main theme of personalized wedding gifts. Think about those who helped you most and thank them in a special way.

In part 3 of our series we will explore gift ideas for your groomsmen. We have discussed this topic in the past and have written about The Top 5 Groomsmen Gift ideas but this time we would like to discuss some of the ways we can personalize them.
Think about what you and your groomsmen do on your free time. Are you all into sports? Are you all college buddies? Or are your groomsmen a mix of old friends, new friends, and relatives. It isn’t always the case that all the groomsmen are friends with each other. You want to take this into account when purchasing them their gifts. There isn’t a rule that states that they all must receive the same gifts, instead personalize it to each of them.
As an example lets pretend your wedding party is made up of your 2 college buddies, your older brother, and your best friend growing up. All these people may not want a leather wallet. Instead break them down into groups. You know your two buddies from school would appreciate a personalized beer mug, and you know that your brother may not. Instead get him something that he will like. Perhaps he would much rather have and appreciate a wine accessory kit because he has a love of wine. The thought that you personalized his gift specifically for him will surely mean something special. Last but not least you want to remind your best friend from home about that road trip you took at the end of high school and how much it meant to you. A personalized travel bag would be perfect for this occasion.
In the end, take a little time to think about each member of your wedding party and thank them for all that they have done.

In part 2 of our 3 part series we will shift our focus from the bride and groom to all the friends and family who have helped make your special day possible.
Favors have become a very popular tradition stemming from French and Italian Aristocrats of the 17th century who would send their guests home with favors called bonbonniere. How we got from there to here I am not entirely sure but it is no longer just Aristocrats that are expected to give away favors at a wedding, everybody is doing it!
It shouldn’t break the bank however, and your guests are not expecting you to. Focus on size, no one wants to drag something large around with them all night, and personalization. Give them something to remember your wedding by.
Remember these are your closest friends and family all in one room. It is an event that almost never occurs. Take advantage of this and remember to think small and personalized for your wedding attendant gifts.

Bride and Groom Wedding Gifts
Our first part of our three part series will cover all aspects of buying wedding gifts for the newly married couple. One of the first things you want to do is to look at their registry. What is it that they need?
Registry Gifts
Do not be afraid to ask a close friend, relative, or even the bride and groom where they are registered. In most cases they have a number of items they need in order to complete their home, ranging from glassware, pots and pans, and even tool sets.
Focus on these items first but don’t feel like you are constrained to these items. A mix of registry gifts and personalized wedding gifts can make for the perfect package.
Mixed with a gift from the couples registry, a personalized gift can complement and add value to an already important day.
When the newly married couple returns from their honeymoon and begin to unwrap their wedding presents, it will be the personal gifts that they remember most and hang onto the longest.
For more personalized gift ideas visit our website and look forward to part two where we focus on wedding attendant gifts.
