Bridal registry checklist
Any woman who has
ever been a bridesmaid knows that, aside from the honor, it can cost significant time, energy
and money. So it’s appropriate to thank your attendants with a gift.
The rehearsal dinner is an appropriate time to express your appreciation
with gifts. Or, if you will all be having your hair and makeup done together, give the gifts
when you’re all gathered at the salon or spa.
Some brides pick individual gifts matched to their bridesmaids’ tastes
and needs, while others will choose identical items for everyone. Either way, you should try
to find gifts in the same price range. That doesn’t mean you can’t give your maid of honor
something extra nice, in recognition of her special role.
Jewelry is a popular choice, especially an item meant to be worn at the
wedding. Pick necklaces, earrings or bracelets that complement the bridesmaids’ dresses.
If your attendants will be traveling -- typical of “destination weddings”
in our coastal region -- you may want to choose gifts that suggest a sense of place.
For example: a book about the destination, or a selection of locally
produced gourmet food items or wines, or gift certificates to a local restaurant or for such
luxury services as massage or beauty treatments.
Friends and relations who come to Wilmington for your wedding may decide
to stay and enjoy the beach for a few days. That could be a good excuse to make a gift of a tote
bag, towel, or other beach gear.
Because it really is true that “it’s the thought that counts,” hand-made
and personalized items can make treasured gifts.
The most important consideration is to make what you give a reflection of
your feelings about your bridesmaids.
