Save Money and still have a Dream Wedding – Part 8

Gifts and Rings

Aaaah so you thought you were the only one to get gifts….. nope! It’s tradition to give the attendants a gift to say thank you for their contribution to the day. So that’s the bridesmaids, flowergirl,and pageboy. I also think it’s nice to give something to the best men and anyone who has contributed to the wedding.

These gifts don’t need to be expensive though. I suggest personalised gifts, they are special but not too expensive.

Here are some suggestions;

Engraved tankards (good for best men, and usually under ?20)

A personalised book for children.. you know…the ones that include their name.

An engraved bangle

An engraved cigar case

On eBay you can buy wine, whisky and champagne with personalised labels, in fact I did male table presents of miniature whisky bottles with personalised labels – they seemed to go down really well (down the throat, most of them!)

Rings

They are one of the only things that will last after the big day, so spend some money and buy ones that you not only love but that are good quality and will last ‘a lifetime’. I spent 10% of my overall spend on the rings. No regrets here. And if it all goes wrong….at least you’ll have something solid to throw at them!! (JOKING)
