Tip of The Week - Attendant Gifts

Happy Monday again to each of you! Many of our brides are quickly approaching their wedding dates and one question we are frequently asked is, "What should we get for our bridesmaids and groomsmen?" This is such a toughie, because you want your gift to be memorable, but also something your guys and girls will actually use. So, Hannah took to the Internet to come up with some cool gifts that are not the typical necklace for the maids and flask for the fellas. Hope you enjoy what we found!

For the Bridesmaids:

Consider taking your girls for a special treat on the day before the wedding. Odds are they will want their fingers and toes looking nice for your big day (and you'll want them looking good, too!) so take them to a salon where you can sit together while being pampered. For an added touch, give each girl a bottle of OPI nail polish with a fun name that suits her personality. For a salon we love the ladies at Bangz Salon and Spa on 43rd Street! Just be sure to book at least a month in advance!

Coach Wristlets: $48 http://www.coach.com/ These are great if you have girls who enjoy going out on the town!

Rainbow Sandals: $44.99 http://www.rainbowsandals.com/ These iconic southern beach shoes now come in a variety of colors. Why not treat your maids to a pair in your wedding colors that they can slip on during the reception? Their feet will appreciate it!

Starfish Necklace: $108 http://www.whitehouseblackmarket/ LOVE this necklace! If you are having a beach wedding and want to treat your girls to a beautiful statement necklace that will always remind them of your big day - This. Is. It.

Taste Test Recipe Book: $28 http://www.anthropologie.com/ This recipe book is vintage chic and practical at the same time. It's divided into sections (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for you to write in, and has pockets for your favorite recipes from Mom and Nana. As a special touch, add your favorite recipes in for your bridesmaids. Each time they cook, they will think of you!

For the Grooms-Guys:

If the girls can go have a ladies day at the spa, then the guys can be treated to a fun day with the fellas! Arrange for a round of golf with the boys the day before the wedding, or take everyone to a local baseball park. If you can swing it (no pun intended), spring for a box at the ballpark. It will come complete with food and beverages for everyone to enjoy!

Collegiate Tervis Tumblers: $33 for 24oz. 2 pack tumbler http://www.tervis.com/ Order a tumbler from your groomsman's Alma Mater. He will love how cool it keeps his beverage, and the lady in his life will love that the cup didn't actually come from a drink purchase at a football game :-)

Stub Hub Gift Certificate: $25-$500 Your guys will love these gift certificates! They can use them to purchase tickets to different collegiate and pro sporting events, or concerts.

iTunes Gift Certificate: $15-$100 Along the same lines, this gift card allows your techie fellas to download their favorite tunes and movies.

Happy shopping everyone! If you have a cool gift you don't see listed on here, please add it to the comments section or send us a wall post on Facebook!
