BRIDE'S GIFTThe bride's gift is traditionally given by the groom to the bride. It is typically a personal gift such as a piece of jewelry.
Options: A string of pearls, a watch, pearl earrings, or a gold chain with a heart-shaped charm holding photos of the two of you.
Things To Consider: This gift is not necessary and should be given only if budget allows.
GROOM'S GIFTThe groom's gift is traditionally given by the bride to the groom.
Options: A nice watch, an elegant pen set, or a dramatic photo of the bride framed in silver or crystal.
Things To Consider: This gift is not necessary and should be given only if budget allows.
BRIDESMAIDS' GIFTSBridesmaids' gifts are given by the bride to her bridesmaids and maid of honor as a permanent keepsake of the wedding. The best gifts are those that can be used both during and after the wedding, such as jewelry.
Options: For bridesmaids' gifts, consider items of jewelry that can be worn during the wedding to give your wedding party a coordinated and elegant look. Choose the collection that most fits your style, then select the type and color of stone to match the color of your flowers and/or bridesmaids dresses. We believe this is the perfect bridesmaids' gift!
Things To Consider: Bridesmaids' gifts are usually presented at the bridesmaids' luncheon, if there is one, or at the rehearsal dinner. The gift to the maid of honor may be similar to the bridesmaids' gifts but should be a bit more expensive.
USHERS' GIFTSUshers' gifts are given by the groom to his ushers as a permanent keepsake of the wedding.
Options: For ushers' gifts, consider fancy pen sets, wallets, leather belts, silver frames, watches, and desk clocks.
Things To Consider: The groom should deliver his gifts to the ushers at the bachelor party or at the rehearsal dinner. The gift to the best man may be similar to the ushers' gifts but should be a bit more expensive.
