Because I have a small bridal party I would gift these to them and my parents. I think it would make a lovely gift for my mom and FMIL
What a GREAT giveaway!
My Mom and my sister who are from Europe where weddings are not so elaborate and customized as they are in the USA. They would think it’s very unique and would love it.
I would absolutely give these to our parents and people who are helping us throughout the ceremony/wedding weekend who are not in the wedding party. I think it’d be a great and unique gift to give them all to show how incredibly appreciative we are of all their help and support!
I would give these to our moms as well as my bridesmaids. I think they would be such a special keepsake.
I would give them to all the special women in my life.
My wedding’s past, but I would give these to my awesome bridesmaids who help out with last minute issues, force me to eat and drink lots of water, and made our wedding awesome!
Our parents and siblings!!
I would gift them to my beautiful bridesmaids from college. They would love them.
Because we both have children coming into the marriage I would give each one a bowl and one each to both sets of our parents. It would make a wonderful gift marking the union of our families.
I would like to give a bowl to the young’uns that’ll be helping me out with little things at the wedding, as well as to my parents and FILs.
Definitely to our wedding party and mothers. I just think that they would be a nice simple gift. We would definitely keep one for ourselves, I have been lusting over these for awhile.
I would give them to my four bridesmaids, our moms, and my aunt who is our mistress of ceremonies. What a special gift!
I would love to give these paloma’s nests to my bridal party and family members. They are such cute gifts and personal with the custom text.
my bridesmaids and my parents!
These are so special and delicate. I would give these to my bridesmaids and our mothers.
I would give them to our bridal party- I think both the men and women would love them and make great use of them!
I’d give them to my mother, who’s doing everything “on the ground” since I’m overseas, and to my sister and best friends. I’m not having bridesmaids and this would be a great token to show them how special they are to me, even though they’re not wearing matching dresses!
This would be a great gift idea for people like our pastor and other special friends who are helping us throughout our engagement and wedding. I would love to present one each to our mothers with flowers in them on our wedding day; I think that would be lovely.
I would love to give these to my bridesmaids and my mother and future mother in law.
That’s easy! We would keep 1, give 1 to my maid of honor, 1 to my bridesmaid, 1 to the best man, 1 to my parents, 1 to his, 1 to my son that we will keep, 1 to my cousin who is helping me through all of this, and 1 each to my 2 best law school buddies who keep me sane!
I would give them to my bridal party (5 girls), my mom, his mom and our 3 grandmas. Thats a perfect 10!
This would be the perfect gift for our parents and siblings. Both my fiance and I love to learn languages–our families are from different countries, so right now we are trying to learn one another’s language. These bowls would be both meaningful and symoblic because it would represent the gift of language and words that we are giving to one another.
i’d these to our mothers, my bms, & my sils who have been a great help!
Our bridal party consists of my fiance’s sisters and my brother and sister in law. We are getting to the point where there will be lots of “bundles of joy” (there are already 2 on the way). As a “new aunt” I would love to give each newborn the dish as a keepsake to mark the day of their birth and then eventually to be used as a ring holder for their wedding day. I think that this will be a special gift which would be cherished not only by the parents but also by the child.
I’ve been stuck on what to get my readers as a gift! These would be perfect for them. Also, I’m giving a necklace to each bridesmaid so it would be great to also give them something to hold the necklace in for safekeeping. Finally, I’d also give it one each to my beautiful mother and future mother in law.
10 of them? That is great, I am in love with these and have been drooling over them for a long time.
I would gift 5 of them to my bridesmaids.
1 would go to my mother, and 1 to my future mother-in-law.
2 would go to my future sisters-in-law.
The final 1 would go to my mom’s best friend, who is doing a lot to help us out with our wedding!
I would give them to my parents and bridesmaids. I love them!!!!!
how beautiful! i’d give them to my girls and ladies of honor (aka. my bridesmaids and flower girls)
I would give them to my sorority sisters who helped me make it through college with my sanity intact! I couldn’t have them all be bridesmaids but I am so excited to have them all be together again at our wedding reception. Miss those college days……!
These are so precious! I would give them to the important ladies in my life- bridesmaids and mothers.
I would gift all 10 bowls to my future husband - each bowl displaying a reason why I love him!
I would give them to the women in our lives who are going to make our wedding day so special - our mothers, grandmothers, and sisters.
I love love love these bowls! I would give them to my mom, my FMIL, my bridesmaids and female cousins, and of course one for me and one for hubs!
Oh I would love to give these to my bridesmaids with the jewelry I have been making for them in it. I was trying to come up with a personal way of giving them the jewelry that wasn’t just another box. I think the bowls would be perfect!
We are having a traditional Filipino wedding with Sponsors (Primary and Secondary, the Secondary are the Coin, Cord, Veil people). I would gift these nest bowls to them! What a unique way to say, “thank you”!
I would give these lovely items to my 5 bridesmaids, my mother (who has been instrumental in helping me achieve my dream wedding), my new mother in law, and 3 of new close friends who just got engaged. I would love to have them incorporate the bowls into their wedding and keep the tradition going.
Oh absolutely to our bridal party and siblings!!
Oh absolutely to our bridal party and siblings!!
(sorry had the email address wrong on my previous post)
I would gift them to my family and my future family as a memento from our special day and to celebrate their love.
I’d give mine to all the peeps in our wedding party. Which happen to be exactly 10 peeps. So it’s perfect.
This is the perfect thing to give to my family. I love these!!
My maid of honour, 3 bridesmaids, my mom, his mom, the wives of the two groomsmen who are married (and also friends of mine) but not in the wedding party, my grandma and … I’d keep one for ourselves.
Oh I think these would be absolutely perfect to give as small tokens of appreciation to those who are hosting showers for my fiance and me! How special to have something so unique and personalized!
I would give 1 to my mom for always doing her best for us.
I would give 1 to my step mom for always loving us as her own.
I would give 2 to each of my sisters for standing up with me
I would give 4 to my grandmas for always being supportive of me.
I would give 1 to my future mother in law to show how excited I am to join their family.
and I would give one to my future husband, as a symbol of our love
Must I give them away? Can’t I keep them for myself??? Seriously though, I’d share them with all of the special ladies in my life - mom, sister, friends, in-laws.
I would give them to our parents, siblings and aunts/uncles who have been like second parents to us.
I first was thinking my bridesmaids, but instead I think I will give them to my brothers, their wives and my fiances brothers and their wives. Perfect! Then the last two to the grandmas!!
oh, I love these Palomas Nest Bowls. I would gift to my 6 bridesmaids, my Mother and my FMIL and our 2 grandmothers.
I actually purchased a ring bowl for our ring bearer to carry so it could be a memory we had forever instead of a pillow you ditch after the wedding. I love personalizing something for those who go the extra mile to make your wedding day special. The bowl would be a permanent item unlike a card that you eventually get rid of over the years. These people are permanent fixtures in my life so I rather give them something to keep that is reusable with a memory of how much I love them!
I would give these to my 4 bridesmaids, MOH, my mom, FMIL, and his grandmother.
I would give them to my bridal party and parents. I absolutely love this etsy store
I would give them to our grandparents and parents with a small locket attached with our wedding photo inside.
I would give them to our parents and the wedding party. A small gift for all their help. =)
I would gift these to my 7 bridesmaids and the two mothers. And, if I could get the kind with the ribbon holes in it, I would use one for my ring pillow/bowl!
I would give them to my 5 bridesmaids and 3 sets of parents, our last set of grandparents and keep one for ourselves! We would use ours as a X-Mas ornament after the wedding.
I love Paloma’s Nest, I would give them to the wedding party and also our parents. They’d love them.
I love the Paloma’s Nest bowls! They are such beautiful keepsakes! I would give them to both of our mothers, as well as the grandmothers that are still with us. I would also give one to each of my bridesmaids, to show how much they mean to me. Finally, I would keep one for the two of us!
i would gift them to a friend as a housewarming present. they’re so perfect!
I would give one to each of my bridesmaids, honorary bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law. They would love them! It would be hard to not steal one for myself!
i’d definitely give these to my bridal party, my 2 readers, and my mom, grandmothers and aunt…they would love them!
I would give them to the BMs, our parents and my Grandma (she’s the only grandparent we both have left).
definitely to my bridal party!
10 bowls… how wonderful! I would gift one each to:
-My mother
-My soon-to-be MIL
-My little sis (Maid of Honor)
-My BFF (Matron of Honor)
-two addtl bridesmaids
-my grandmother
-his Granny Gertrude
-my grandfather’s wife, who has been a wonderful and graceful presence in my life these last few years
-and one for myself, to always remind me of the lovely ladies I’ve shared such a special bond with over the years, and who supported me on The Big Day!
These are so cute!! They would go to my four bridesmaids, three sisters-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, and one for us with text from our ceremony!
I would give them to my bridesmaids, the mothers, and grandmothers. I love these!!!
this would be such an incredible gift for our bridal party - on my side, 4 gals and a guy, and on his side 4 guys. We would even have 1 left for ourselves! How great!
So so lovely! I would gift them to my bridesmaids, our mothers, future sister in law and our flower girl!
I would give one to each of the ladies in my family, his family, my bridesmaids, and the officiant. I think that would leave one left over that I would love to keep to put my rings in by my bedside.
I would definitely have to give these beauties to my mother, grandma, mother in law, and grandma in laws, and even my great grandmother in law!
And then the extras can go into my china hutch 
What a great gift set! Perfect for my 6 bridesmaids, my mother, my grandmother, my FMIL, and me! I would love to engrave them with a verse from my wedding reading!
I would give them to my mom, my FMIL, grandparents, bridesmaids and other dear ladies who are helping out with the wedding!
I would give them to our moms, his aunt who is near and dear to our hearts, and our bridesmaids
I would give mine to my momma, grandmother, and sisters (definitely keeping one for myself!). They are super-cute
I would give them to my bridesmaids, my flower girls and the mothers. And keep one for myself!
i would give them to my wedding party and our moms!
I would give them to my bridesmaids. I’d inscribe, “I owe you one, love Elizabeth”
I would give 5 to my bridesmaids and give the other five to people who are helping us throughout our day. There are several ladies who are baking, coordinating food, and helping decorate. They deserve these lovely bowls!
We are only having 25 people to our little gathering, so these 10 little bowls would be enough for each couple attending. We hadn’t planned on buying any favors, as our budget is limited, but these would fit our simple, homemade ceremony/reception!
I would definitely give them to the bridal party, and my mom (oh, my mom would adore them!)
I would give the bowls to each family who is able to attend my wedding. We are only sending out 45 invitations, so there should be enough to go around.
I’m not having bridesmaids, but I’d give them to our mothers, my sisters, and my girlfriends who will definitely act as de facto bridesmaids in one form or another.
I’d give them to my young nieces and cousins and tell them they can be anything they want to be!
I am asking 10 people to bake cakes for a dessert bar at my wedding - I would gift one to each of the wonderful folks who contribute a cake
I would give them to my mom, my future mother-in-law, my 5 bridesmaids and the two remaining grandmothers 
and then I would give one to my great friend who can’t be a bridesmaid for complicated reasons. But, I wish she could be so much so this would be a way to thank her for being there for me!
I would give them to my bridesmaids and our mothers!
They would definitely go to our parents (both sets of our parents are divorced so we’d need to give out four), our officiant (a friend), ceremony readers (we have three), emcee (another friend) and one leftover for us! We have already gotten/planned the gifts for bridesmaids and groomsmen, but it would be fantastic to give gifts to the other friends who have chipped in to make our low budget wedding possible!
I don’t know that my bridal party could truly appreciate these bowls, but I ADORE Paloma’s nest! I would definitely gift these to my FH’s family (mother, father, aunts & uncles). They lavish us with gifts, hospitality, & anything else you can think of. I just love them & can’t wait to marry into this family!
I would love to give these to our moms, grandmothers, and all of our aunts!
1. Grandma
2. Mom
3. FMIL
4 - 10: All my beautiful bridesmaids!
I love these bowls and am considering using one of these for our rings. So cute!
I would give them to our parents, who have been supporting us or our relationship and being a part of our wedding. I’d like to save a few for our children and make it some kind of token to be owned by several generations.
i would love to give these bowls to my bridal party, my mom, and my future mother-in-law!
Ohh these mini bowls are awesome! I would give them to our mothers, our grandmothers and some OOT aunts!

Perfect for my bridesmaids, mom, mom-in-law, and me!!
Would love to gift these to my lovely ladies…to my bridesmaids, moms, and sponsors!

I would give them to my mom, FMIL, and bridesmaids. It would be so sweet!
Ohh! I would give them to my bridesmaids, parents, and readers! What a lovely gift!
So nice! I would gift them to my bridal party and our family members, such as parents, FH’s grandparents (whose 50th anniversary is the day before our wedding!), and aunts/uncles who play special roles in our lives.
My 4 bridesmaids, 3 for our mothers/stepmother, one for each grandmother, and one for our Pastor! Great giveaway!
Is it bad that I want to keep them all for myself? I think I’d gift them to the family members helping out
I would give them to my bridesmaids, our mothers and the officiant (my fiance’s aunt)! I have had my eye on them for a while on etsy!!
I would give them to my sisters , my mom and mil and all the girlfriends who helped me so much along the way
btw dariabkworm your avatar rocks!
These Paloma’s nest bowls are so adorable. I have been longing for one for quite some time!
If I were to win these bowls, I would definitely keep one for my fiance and I, and we would gift them to select girls and guys in our wedding party, whose personalities they fit so well. Meaningful.. Whimsical. Lovely. And a little bit different.
all of the wonderful people who brought me to this point in my llife. the people who supported me, showed me my strength, and lifted me up and never let me feel alone as I waited for the man who would truly love me — my mom, my best friends, my brother, my wonderful mentor, my aunt…
I would give them to our parents, our readers and our hostesses, and our coordinator (who is my godmother) as part of their thank you gift. And we’d keep the last one for ourselves.
I would give these to our parents, grandparents, attendants and Pastor that we’ve grown very close to. What perfect tokens of our appreciation for all those that have helped guide us along our way.
Wow, 10 bowls! I would give 2 to each of the 5 ladies in my bridal party so they can all have their own set!
I would give them to my mom, auntie, sister-in-law and nieces who are flying in from Japan (to Chicago) for my wedding. I would give the rest to women from my fiance’s family.
I love these bowls- they are so simple and unique.t I would give one to each of my bridesmaids, one to my mother and future mother in law, one to each of the ceremony readers, and keep one for my fiance and I What a great giveaway!
i would give them to my bridesmaids and my other friends that are getting married!
I love these bowls- they are so simple and unique. I would give one to each of my bridesmaids, one to my mother and future mother in law, one to each of the ceremony readers, and keep one for my fiance and I What a great giveaway!
I would give these to by Gramma, my nanny, and my fiances grandmothers, also my mom and his and maybe our 2 readers!!! They are sooo cute!
I LOVE Paloma’s Nest! I would give these as gifts to my bridal party and officiants…all of whom are HUGE supporters of the handmade movement. How fabulous!
If I was lucky enough to win, I would give these bowls to family and our closest friends as a sign of gratitude for all their love and unwavering support in making our day so special.
Easy peasy! My three sisters, my parents (and step), my boyfriend. I’d have to keep one for myself And my two best friends.
I would give them to our six attendants (3 ‘maids and 3 groomsmen), one to each set of parents, one to the officiant, and we would keep one.
This is such a great gift! I would give one to each of my bridesmaids, one to my mom, one to his mom, one to our officiant (a close friend) and one for me! Perfect!
My bridesmaids definitely. They would appreciate it the most.
These would be great for our parents and grandparents to keep. My family is very sentimental like that.
I would give one to each of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. To the bridesmaids because they are each so beautiful and unique - like the bowls themselves. To the groomsmen because I’d like to give them some ‘American’ finery. They are coming from France (Quimper) where they have such beautiful faience. The married couple customarily receives an ‘Henriot’ piece from the town mayor! It would be so much fun to be able to have 2 Paloma’s Nest bowls for ourselves as a wedding memoir and for them to bring back to France, too.
these are absolutely beautiful! i would give them to: 2 bridesmaids, 2 groomsmen, 1 officiant, 2 coordinators, 2 ceremony musicians, and keep 1 for ourselves!!
Ohhhhhhhhhh! This is one of my favorite wedding items out there!!!!! I would give these to my bridesmaids, and our mothers & grandmothers to use as ring holders! I hope hope hope I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THESE!!! I have been wanting one sooo bad! I would gift them to my BMs, the mom’s, and keep one for myself! Great giveaway!!
My BMs (4), my MOH (1) and the remaining five between my mom, grandma, MIL and SILs.
These bowls are so cute. I’ve wanted one since I first set eyes on them! I’d gift them to all the bridesmaids, our parents, sisters, and keep one for ourselves to put our rings in at night!
Because we are having a destination wedding and the bad economy couldn’t have happened at a better time, I would gift these to my family and soon-to-be family that have all made sacrifices to be with us on our special day. It was such a joy to find out that all the people who mean the most us would be there. This would be such a wonderful keepsake that has a special meaning to them as well as a great way for us to show our appreciation of their support and love.
Over the past three years I’ve gone through some challenging health issues that have finally settled and gifted me much knowledge about myself. It has also ended “happily ever after” as I found the love of my life through the experience. There have been quite a few “healers” throughout the process and I would give one to each of them. I would personalize the bowls with different quotes that each has said to me to help me on my journey.
Is it selfish to say I would keep them? I would use different verses from our wedding readings and favorite poems and mount them on the wall in our home to remind us of our wedding day and our sacred vows.
I would love to be able to give these to my bridal party, my mom, and my future mother in law. I have been eyeing these for a while.
I would give them to my 3 bridesmaids, my mom, FH’s mom, FH’s sister, my 2 grandmas, his grandma, and one for me! =)
3 bridesmaids, friends and family members that help beforehand and day of wedding
probably be really selfish and keep them all and dot them around the house. little reminders of our wedding day
I would give it away to my family members. Probably not my parents but more likely my extended family members who have helped to make me the person I am. For example, I’m thinking my three Godmothers would love something like this.
Love these! I would gift them to my two bridesmaids and their families. One is my fiance’s sister, and the other is my own sister–who will be 5 months pregnant with a set of twins at the wedding! Thought it might be nice to have one each for them and their new children, and give my nieces/nephews a token to remember that they were there for my wedding, even though they won’t remember it!
i would give one to each person in our bridal party, and one to each of our parents since they have helped us so much!
I would give them to my fiance!
I would gift these to my bridal party and to both my mom and FMIL.
I love these plates! I would give them all 8 of my bridesmaids and both my mom and FMIL.
I would love to gift these to my bridesmaids, my officiant, my mother, my MOH, and of course to myself!
Oh I just adore Paloma’s nest. I would give them to my family and our maid and man of honor.
I would give these to my mom, my future MIL, and our 4 grandmothers.
I would give these lovely bowls to special prople who are helping us a great deal with our day, but who are not part of the wedding party (readers, our friend who is baking our cake, friend who is our videopgrapher, etc)
We are having a wedding for 100 people with a budget of $5,000. I have many people helping out with our environmental friendly wedding. We do not have money at all for extra things and i appreciate everyone that is helping out with keeping our budget on track. I would give the bowls to the following people that will be helping me keep the wedding green and money conscious!
The caterer for providing us with a great deal on local food and renting space on a budget.
the couple that owns the bed and breakfast we’ll be renting for the week.
the woman i purchase my ‘used’ dress from (whenever that happens).
The preist that will be doing our ceremony outside of the church so we don’t have to use electricity.
The owner of the restaurant that we will be having our reception.
The mother of the bride.
My new soon to be mother in law.
My twin sister (my maid of honor).
My fiance’s brother (the best man).
The groom’s grandmother that is helping pay for the wedding as well.
my 6 lovely bridesmaids and my 4 nieces who are bringing up communion during the ceremony
We have a really small bridal party so I’d give one to each of them and to our parents, but keep 2 for ourselves. I really like the idea of me and my FI each having one on our nightstand to keep our wedding rings in at night.
My fiance and I both have divorced parents who are remarried…which means we have 8 parents! The more the merrier because we receive so much love and support from each mom and dad that we are so lucky to have in our lives. We would give the other 2 bowls to Jason’s grandmother and grandfather who are called JoJo and Dad-Dad because Jason used to repeat everything he said. Dad-Dad is the man who will be marrying us on May 23, 2009 so these special bowls would make the perfect gift. What a special keepsake to give to the most important people in our lives who will be standing next to us when we become husband and wife.
i would gift these to my bridal party (sister and 2 cousins) and our parents.
I would share these with my beautiful bridesmaids and both of our mothers. I think these would make amazing gifts!! Fingers crossed!
I would give them to my six bridesmaids, my mom and my future mother-in-law, my grandma and I would keep one for myself.

The groom’s grandmother that is helping pay for the wedding as well.
So pretty! I would love to give these to my mother, my sister, and my two best girlfriends for putting up with my shizz throughout the wedding process!
That’s great! I would gift them to my sisters and girlfriends.
We don’t really have a bridal party, just two witnesses, my sister and my fiancé’s best friend. But I have some very close girlfriends traveling all the way to France to be with us, that would be a great gift for them!
I am in my first year of ministry after graduation from seminary, and am having 6 of my fellow women friends from seminary participate in various pastoral roles in our wedding ceremony. I would give them each a bowl, as well as my niece and two childhood best friends, who are standing in the wedding. So I would share these bowls with my spiritual sisters and favorite women.
While nothing could truly show my gratitude for all those who have been a part of my life each plate would be a nice gift for those people. I would give one to each of my 3 bridesmaids, my mother, my future MIL, and one to my FI’s grandmother who has been a wonderful woman in bringing me into her family.
These bowls are perfect!
I would give them to all the special people in our lives:
1 to my fiance’s godmother, who is getting over a bad bout of bone cancer.
1 to my godmother, who’s best friend of 50 years just passed away.
1 to my brother, who’s been my best friend for my entire life. I would be lost without his sarcastic, witty tongue!
1 to my fiance’s brother, who has truly overcome some severe hurdles the past few years that I’ve known him.
1 to my father, because - well he’s my Dad.
1 to my Mom, she’s been one of the most supportive people in my life, despite her strong opinions.
1 to my fiance’s parents, because I love them as if they were my own family, which they soon will be!
1 to my brother’s girlfriend. Even though she’s not a bridesmaid, she’s been involved from the beginning. She even found our officiant and our beloved photographer for us!
1 to my future brother-in-law’s girlfriend - because she makes my fiance’s brother happy - which makes us happy.
and finally, 1 for us - because it’s our wedding!
I would give a bowl to each woman who has played a significant role in my life — my mother, my grandmother, my 5 aunts, and my 3 oldest best friends.
I would give these bowls to the families flying in for our wedding. There aren’t that many, nine, I think, but I just think it would be so sweet to have something special placed in their hotel rooms, different from candies on the pillow and the usual travel bag items. They are making such a long trek to celebrate with us and I want them to know how much that means to us. Thank you long distance family members for showing the love!
I’ll be giving them to my mother, future MIL, my sisters & my best friends..
I would give them to the 8 ladies hosting my “bridal tea” in my hometown. It would be a perfect addition to their hostess gifts….one that I would never had thought of before reading this post! And then one for both our mothers.
We would probably give these to random helper people. I think my fiance’s family would all love these! They’re big trinket people. They would also be sweet bridesmaid gifts.
I’ll be graduating soon and would give these to my 10 closest friends at school. What a lovely contest!
I love Paloma’s Nest! We would give one to our mothers, each of my bridesmaids, my personal attendant, and use one during the ceremony for our “Warming of the Rings.” I know each of them would cherish this gift.
definitely to those friends and family who are contributing their time/monies to the wedding. they may not be in the wedding but they’re helping in so many ways ^_^ !!
oh these are perfect! i actually bought one to hang our rings on, and i would most love to give these to each of my bridesmaids and our coordinator–who’s put up with so much and definitely deserves a sentiment from our big day!
Definitely to my bridal party, but since there are only four people in it, I’d give the rest to my mom and uncle, great aunt and cousin- all have been so supportive of me!
I’d share it with my family and closest friends, who are in my bridal party. Any extras, I would give them to my closest girlfriends who aren’t a part of the party as a symbol of my friendship with them
I’d definitely gift them to my bridal party and to the two sets of parents.
I would give them to my bridesmaid and maid of honor…they can use it in their own weddings!
my bridesmaids - aka my best friends from high school, my maid of honor (my sister) and my future sister in law
wonderful give away
I would gift these to my aunties and uncles who will be traveling to be a part of our day. Neither of us has any grandparents who are living, so these family members are very important to us!
My lovely maids and our mommas, all of whom have been SO helpful and supportive.
These would be a perfect gift for my ladies and my mother and FMIL.
Basically our immediate families because we are that small
I’d give them to my bridesmaids, my mom, my FMIL, and to my other close girl friends who aren’t in the wedding party.
To the lovely people in my life!
I would love to give these to our parents and bridesmaids!
Hmmm…
“Through it all” would go to my very best friend Amber, who taught me a lot about how to be the Anti-Bridezilla. She’s the reason the term “bridesiderate” and “bridiculous” got coined during fittings/searches for the “perfect” whatever. She’s been there through my diagnosis of bipolar…through years of crazy…and has even stuck around now that I”m boring and normal!
“My Sister-Friend” Would go to my sister Patricia, who took time to get to know me as a friend and then as a sister after I moved away, when I had really never taken the time or initiative to get to know her.
“My Big Little Sis” would go to my youngest sister, who has always be a big sister to me, even though she is ten years younger.
“Think PATTERNS!?!” Would go to my friend Lisa, who is often nearly as crazy as me. The more patterns she has on, the calmer she is. I get nervous when she starts wearing one color. When she gets married, paisley wedding dresses WILL become popular. Or heads will roll. Or…I’ll come up with a new Bride- word. “Bride-sylum? Bride-sedative?
“Yes, I still love you.” would go to my Mom. No matter how much she hears it, she needs reminders.
“You are my best friend, too” would go to my stepson-to-be. He’s four, special needs (aspergers/autistic) and has announced to his teacher that “Mad is my best friend.”
“You are my penguin.” To my husband to be. Date to Central Park Zoo…poem on the glass + dating when surf’s up + happy feet…You are my penguin became a constant reminder of who we are.
“Always my Hero” would go to my Gram. She’s 92. She met her husband when she was 18, but made him wait to marry her until she was 26!!! She wanted to make sure she got her dating in! Their wedding song was Always by Irving Berlin. She chuckles that he got the easy part of that deal — dropping dead at 39 from a heart attack. He was a NYC fire fighter — no masks in those days. Anyway, with only $14.16 in the bank, three kids, and a half built house, no job, and not being able to drive…and a miscarriage…she totally took a no complaints attitude, pulled it together and got all of her daughters through college. And she never remarried — despite being asked three times. My grandfather was the love of her life — for Always.
“Breathe” would be for me. Things go up and down for me a lot. But if I breathe, I remember that the tough times are transient.
“Give yourself the love you seek in the world.” That would be saved to give to my future boy/girl/niece/nephew.
Oh, I love these! My bridal party would certainly appreciate them!
all the ladies and mommas in the party
I would give them to my mom, FMIL, and bridesmaids! They will be putting in a lot of work to help me with my wedding.
I would LOVE to give these out to the wonderful women in our families: our mothers, first and foremost, our grandmothers, and our aunts. I think that would be such a special gift for each of them to have, a way to personalize their importance to both of us, individually and as a couple. I love the traditional tone in this gift, and the messages would just be another way to showcase our love and respect to those women who have known us since we were in diapers (and loved us all the same!).
my mom, although even something as beautiful and heartfelt as this can’t even begin to convey my love.
My fiance and his family recently had their home invaded and a lot of things were stolen and many of their things were destroyed out of maliciousness. My fiance’s father is a minister and the best man in the wedding and him and my future mother in law took this especially hard. So I would give my future MIL one that says “Hope Springs Eternal” and I would give my future FIL one that says “Be The Change”. I want them to remember that although there are terrible people out there, there is still hope and happy times.
I would give the remaining eight to
my parents
future sister in law #1
future sister in law #2
aunt - my aunt has been one of the best friends I have ever had, even though she is a lot older than me.
my maid of honor
my officiant (which is not my fiance’s father simply because of the fact that he would not have been able to make it through the ceremony due to tears )
a family friend that has been like a grandmother to me- she was actually my mom and my aunt’s gifted studies teacher in high school and has stayed friends with them and our family for over 20 years. Since my grandmother passed away when I was little, she has basically served as my grandmother ever since then.
I would keep one for us so we could keep in our rings in it and always be reminded of our wedding.
There would be two people that I would love to gift these tiny text bowls to. First and foremost, I would gift one set to my MOH, my best friend. She has been my rock for the past 20 years. She was 1 of 2 people that supported my long distance relationship with my fiance. She has seen me through thick and thin and has stuck by me through it all. The other person who I would love to gift these to would be my godfather. Since my fiance is currently deployed, my godfather has stepped up and helped me with so many of my wedding details. I’ve even been able to drag him with me dress shopping as well as to the florist. Both of these people have been amazing in my journey these past two years.
These would solve like 3 different dilemmas for me!
First, I would give one to each of my three bridesmaids. I found them all amazing jewelry for the day of the wedding, and I’ve been searching all over for a unique and personal way to present it to them. These little bowls with some baker’s twine would be lovely! I would also love to give one to each of our two readers.
Second, I would give one to my mother, FMIL, grandmother, and FGIL! I’ve been trying to figure out what I could give them all to help keep their gifts feeling balanced yet personal. These would be a great addition to a personalized gift basket for each!
Third, I would use one for our ring bearer’s “pillow”! I don’t mind that it wouldn’t have the little holes. Again, with some baker’s twine (a theme in our wedding) it would be just perfect.
These little bowls would be such a savior right now, haha! Can’t wait to see who the lucky girl will be!
I would give them to my parents, sister, and bridesmaids, and one for my FI and me. My parents because I love them very much and are forever thankful to them for raising me up the way they did. I couldn’t imagine myself being with any other parent. My sister because she is my other half, and is a very important part of my life. It’s also her birthday today. I would also give them as gifts to my bridesmaids because they are all my best friends and have stood by my side through all the great times as well as all the bad ones too. Lord, knows I’ve had many of both and I’m blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life! I would also like one to have between my future husband and myself. As he is the most wonderful person, who is very supportive of me and I love him very much.
Id gft my text bowls to my little cousins- between 5 and 10. These bowls seems to convey the importance of words and simplicity all in one, two important aspects that should be cherished throughout life.
Id gft my text bowls to my little cousins- between 5 and 10 years old. These bowls seem to convey the importance of words and simplicity all in one, two important aspects that should be cherished throughout life.
I would give them to all the girls in my bridal party, and to my mother and future mother-in-law, and to a few helpers. None of them read wedding blogs, so they will be blown away by these tiny text bowls from Paloma’s Nest!
To all of my friends who are flying in from out of town.
Love these Paloma’s Nest Bowls! I would gift them to my bridesmaids (including my sister, best friend and cousin) and our mothers and keep one for ourselves to commemorate our marriage.
To the members of my new family, to my new mother and father in law, my sister in law, and her husband, and their three children (my new nephews). The other three would go to my three best friends, who have always been there for me no matter what.
I would give them to anyone who has made a huge impact on my wedding. I would keep a stash and give them away to those who have helped keep me sane along the way!
I will give it to my parents, my in-laws, my bestfriend, and the rest is for me to keep.
I would give these to my Sister In Law. She’s getting married next year and has a tight budget. I am trying to help her have a beautiful wedding but I hate watching her stress out over it. I want to help her in anyway I can to have the most memorable, happiest day of her life.
I’d give them to my mother and FMIL and FstepMIL and also to our grandparents. We are the first grandchildren in both of our families to be married, so I know that it would mean a lot to them. I’d also give one to my great grandparents who live several hours away but can no longer travel for health reasons. I think they would cherish a personalized gift most of all.
My maid of honor! She is helping me celebrate my wedding this November, which will be the 1 year anniversary of her mom’s passing. Her mother’s name was Rosa, so I am having a rose pendant necklace made for her, and this dish would be the best to hold the necklace in!
Oh, gosh, I’d gift them to my four girls and each of our mothers.
i would gift mine to the following:
#1) my 19 month old daughter - as a keepsake of her parents’ wedding celebrating their love for her and their love for eachother
#2-6) would go to each of my bridal party ladies - all of which have been a crucial part of my life (spiritual, emotional, physically, you name it!) starting at different points in my life but continuing on to now (grade school, high school, college, etc.)
#7) my momma - for dealing with the drama of me getting preggers before getting married, and for still loving me and supporting me and letting me be an adult and make my own decisions and praying for me every single day of my life.
#8) my God-mother, who is elderly and is not in good enough health to attend my wedding. i used to go to her house for duet tea parties after school. she’s amazing.
I would definitely give this to my sister or sister-in-law.
my awesome awesome family
to thank them for their help!
I would give them to the bridal party and our parents. They are such a specially unique gift they would enjoy.
I would give this to my mother and FMIL for mother’s day!
I would give them to my bridal party, both our mothers, and grandmothers. Of course, I’d give one to our coordinator.
A bunch of our friends will serve as a choir at our wedding. I would definitely gift these bowls to them!
I’d give 2 to our parents, 2 to the 2 people in our bridal party, one to the chapel as it’s ours is the first marriage to be preformed there. One to the flower girl (and be used in place as a flower basket), 1 to my aunt who’s too sick to travel and 3 to 3 relatives who are traveling half way around the world to join us.
I would gift mine to my family back in England who aren’t able to make it to my wedding as I live in Canada. Especially my brother & his wife who’s first baby is due a couple of weeks before our wedding! My cousin who I’m very close with who is currently very sick and may not make it out to our wedding & my Dad who also may not be able to make it out to give me away.
These are fabulous! We’re having a Wedding Crew - about 10 people who will be involved in various ways, doing readings, performing the ceremony, carrying flowers, etc. - and these would be perfect gifts for them.
I would give them to my mom. She loves little plates like these.
i would give these to the people most important to me my MOH my parent and my (soon to be) in laws
These are so cute. I would give one to each of our moms, grandmothers, the bridesmaids would each receive one, and I would have one left over to use as a ring pillow. I hope I win
I already bought one for my own wedding, but would love to “gift” one to my future sister-in-law who will officially become family next month!
This is definitely something my bridesmaids would totally appreciate.. I would also give one to the Mothers..these are very personal gifts..yet simple…not overdone..very thoughtful. Exactly what I am looking for!
I would give one to each member of our bridal party. We each have 5 people so 10 is the perfect number!!!
I would give one to each person in my bridal and one for myself! WOW I love these!
These would be PERFECT for my Maid of Honor who’s actually getting married this June! And then…2 months and 2 days later…I’ll tie the knot and she’ll be right by side!
This is the perfect amount for the bridal party. 4 boys and 4 girls. The other 2 would go to Fi and I.
I love these bowls and think they are amazing! I would love to give them to my friends who have been so supportive of this whole process and who have been our life line on this road to the rest of our lives.
I have wanted these ever since I found Etsy so many months ago. I have pictured them stamped with, “Evermore Thanks” - Shakespeare, and placed in front of my bridesmaids, mother, future mother-in-law and grandmothers at our bridesmaid luncheon the day before our wedding. Nestled inside the bowl would be the jewelry for the bridal party, which is hand made by my future sister-in-law. I can’t think of a more simple and beautiful way to say “thank you” to the most amazing and wonderful women in my life.
I would definitely give these to the women in my life that are close to me… and have put up with my wedding planning!
i would give one to each of my three MOH and bridesmaid, one to my mom, FI’s mom, and my grandmother. and besides keeping one for myself, would gift the rest to women who are important to me.
I would give them to my mom. She has always had a love for tiny dishes and tea sets. With a special enscription, these would be a sweet gift to show my appreciation for all her love, support, and help, throughout my whole planning process and throughout my life. She is truly the best! I have so much gratitude!
I would give them to my parent’s, my bridesmaids, my grandmothers, my FMIL, and my FI’s Aunty, and cousins since they have been there for us through thick and thin! They have given so much to us over the years, it would be just a small token of our gratitude to them.
they would read “you’ll never walk alone” after my hubby-to-bes favourite football team’s anthem and of course, I give them out to our closest relatives.
I would absolutely love to win this! I have been drooling over these bowls since the day I got engaged! Our wedding consists of lots & lots of help from family, friends etc. and I would love to be able to give these bowls to the people that have helped make my day one of a kind, and so memorable, to show my thanks.
I would gift these to my future mother in law since she’s taken it upon herself to cater our reception, to my future sister in law for hosting one of my showers, to my bridesmaids for being so supportive and loving towards me adn for hosting one of my showers, to my mom for her unconditional love, and to my boss for all of her kindness towards me.
I’d give these to all of the lovely ladies in our wedding party and family who are helping make our day so fun, meaningful, and special!
So pretty! I’d give one each to my grandmothers, to our parents, and the rest to my bridesmaids, and I’d keep one!
Love the nests–so useful for so many things. I would gift them to my bridal party and our moms.
I’d give them to my good friends and bridesmaids. They would love them!
My mom. She loves collecting plates, and I could definitely see her hanging these all together on a wall. They’re really pretty!
Ooo, I’d give one to my mom, FI’s mom, my best friend, my cousin who’s expecting her first baby (she needs a safe place to store her rings now that her fingers are swollen) and finally, to my bridesmaids (the perennial favorite).
I would give them to our parents. Both couples have been wonderful examples to the commitment of marriage and have celebrated silver anniversaries. I would love to present these to them as a testament of beautiful and long lasting unions.
These are perfect for the moms and bridesmaids. I’ve had my eye on them since getting engaged almost a year ago!
I love the Paloma’s Nest bowls! They are such beautiful keepsakes! I am German marrying an American. We live in Germany but tie the knot in Pa. It would make such a special gift for our parents and wedding party, a reminder for everyone and especially the one we can’t be physically close to all the time.
Bridesmaids, all my cousins who help set up, my mother, my FMIL and my officiant. um….and me
10 would be the perfect number to gift one to each of our bridesmaids and groomsmen and each set of parents, since our bridal party will be mostly from OOT these TINY text bowls will travel nicely and keep us close to each of the people who will make our wedding day special.
I would give them to our moms and aunts. They have all played a major role in who we have become. It would be a great way to acknowledge that.
This is my favorite set from this seller! I love it! I would definitely gift these to my future SIL for her upcoming wedding!
My whole wedding party (2 bridesmaids), my mother, my 2 aunts, my best friend who is a reader, and my future mother in law
We would love to give these to our parents and siblings.
I would give these to our parents and grandparents. They would love them.
So cute! If I had these, I would gift them to my 3 sisters and my mom and grandma. Then I’d give 2 to the FI’s sisters and one to his mom…oh look! That leaves one for myself and one for my dearest best friend and maid of honor:-)
I would give one to…
-my mom
-my mother in law
-my four bridesmaids
-my two grandmothers
-my reader
-our officiant
Like most of the other bees I would gift the bowls to my wedding party (4), our readers (2), our flower children (2) and ring bearer (1) and keep one for ourselves (of course!)
I woiuld give these to my bridal party, my mom, FMIL & two a family member & a friend who have all volunteered and helped with our planning. (And yes, keep one for ourselves, these are adorable and the above are nine people total!)
I would love to give these bowls to my seven bridesmaids, flower girl, and one to my mom and mother-in-law. I would love for them to leave these on their bureaus or dressers to hold jewelry or other keepsakes.
I would gift these to the woman who are helping to make my wedding spectacular. Not just my bridesmaids, but also my Mom, my aunt and my Nana. Without them, I don’t think any of this would be possible!!!
I would be sorely tempted to keep them for myself: so lovely! But as we’re attempting to arrange a fantastic wedding for a small budget (£5000, or around $7000), we’d have to give these out to our fantastically talented friends who are helping out for free - our musicians, photographer, videographer, invitation designer, co-ordinator and wonderful bridesmaids. What better way to say thanks than with a beautiful personalised piece of art? I would have to keep one for ourselves as the ring bowl, though..
I would give them to my bridesmaids…they would love them.
We would give them to the very important group of family and close friends that are working very hard to make our day wonderful.
Weddings in our families are a group effort and everyone enjoys pitching in and helping where they can and this would be a great personalized gift as a small token of our thanks for all the kindness they have granted us and work they have put into our wedding..
What a thoughtful giveaway!
oh i’ve been drooling over this! i would gift them to my married siblings (2), married best friends (4), my mother, my 2 future sisters-in-law and of course, 1 for ourselves!
What a coincidence - I just bought the tiny text ring bowl for our ceremony! I would definitely give these as gifts to his family and mine for all of their support for us. It’s hard to find meaningful gifts that aren’t expensive, and these are so unique!
I would love to give these as gifts to our parents and family members that have supported us throughout the years, as a little thank you to them for all they have done.
I would gift my text bowls to our parents (4), readers (2), gift bearers (2), grandmother (1) and ourselves (1)!
These are just gorgeous - I would give them definitely to grandparents, my own parents…and maybe keep one for ourselves! I love that they are meaningful AND practical…just lovely.
one for each of the girls and guys. im sure the guys will love these simple yet meaningful bowls. they’re as much of a mush as we girls are.
I would gift these to our parents (4), grandparents (5) and of course, us!
I would give these to my mom, sister, and all of my girlfriends who recently got engaged!
It would work out perfectly to give one to each of my seven bridesmaids, one to each of our sets of parents, and keep the last one for us! I’m sure my sisters’ would end up under make up and jewelry on their dressers, but I think everyone would be reminded of how special they are to us any time they saw their bowl.
These would go right to my aunties- my mom’s sisters, as well as my mom, nana, and aunt spike. These ladies are hugely important inspirations in my life and I would love to give them all a small gift!
I’m having the toughest time trying to find little thank you gifts for our family members! These would be great for my 2 bridesmaids, our parents and grandparents! How adorable!
I would give my bowls to my aunts and cousins who have been a huge and support throughout. They are committed to spending hours putting together our invitations, will host my bridal shower, and be all around fabulous!
I would give them to my bridesmaids, FMIL, and readers - they are so lovely!
I would definitely give them to both sets of parents, with text of inspiration they’ve passed onto us throughout the years. They’re adorable!
I would give these two all the ladies helping to put our wedding together. We have friends helping up us with different aspects of the planning (baking cookies, finding lights for us, etc) and these would be perfect token of our appreciation!
I would give these to our parents and everyone who has helped put this together. i have some wonderful friends who are not in the wedding but have still done so much for us. these would be perfect for them.
I would give them to all the extra folks helping out My Aunt who is corrdinating, our volunteer cantor, My FI mom’s friend who is helping decorate, and our readers.
We have a 6-person bridal party, so we could give one to each of them, and the remaining four to our parents.
Ooooooh I love these! The set of 10 Paloma’s Nest bowls have been on my to-buy list for quite some time. They’re perfect thank you’s for my bridesmaids, mom(s) and grandmom(s) who have all been wonderful support along the way.
10 is perfect! our wedding party consists of 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen!
i would give there to my bridesmaids and my mom and future mother in law. they are great love them!
All the women who have helped with the special day … moms, aunts, sister, etc.
I would totally give these to my bridesmaids!! They’re adorable!
We aren’t having a bridal party per se, but I would definitely gift these to our parents and all of the lovely people that have been helping us along the way. The wedding has a lot of community involvement- from the ceremony & music, to the desserts. I love these! I would probably get them engraved with our monogram or a heart and our wedding date.
We would gift them to our bridal party and our parents.
I would gift them to my mother. She’s not a typical mom who likes fine china. She likes fun bowls and dishes that make her smile!
If I were lucky enough to receive 10 of these lovlies I would gift them to the following:
“Breathe” I would keep for myself it seems my family and friends are constantly reminding me of this.
“Give yourself the love you seek in the world” This would go to my junior bridesmaid who is one of the most gracious people I know. We have a very amazing bond and I hope she realizes how special she is to many many people.
“always my hero” This would go to my wonderful grandmother she has been through adversity all through out her life but always pulls through she recently lost my grandfather and this would be a great reminder to her that she is a rock for many of us.
“You are my penguin” Would go to the little boy that we mentor together. He and his family are refugees from uganda. He recently learned about animals at school and asked us to watch Happy Feet. He is a constant reminder of a positive person. He has faced so much in his little world but starts everyday with the biggest smile ever!!!! He has nothing but love to share with everyone which is amazing given what/where he has grown up in the past.
“you are my best friend too” this one would actually go to my mother. I grew up an only child and she has not only been a mother but a friend.
“yes, i still love you” This would go to my dad…being an only child let’s just say this wedding has definitely put some stress on him.
“think patterns” would go to my future sister in law….no matter how different we are our minds are always on the same path
“my big lil sis” would go to a close family friend…our parents grew up as best friends. All though she is 10 years younger than me I look up to her more than she will ever know. She is strong and determined in all the right ways!
“my sister-friend” this one would go to my very special matron of honor. We met 10 years ago and our lives haven’t been the same since. Early on in our friendship we went through life changing events and were each others rock through it all.
“through it all” would go to my maid of honor and my absolute best friend in the whole entire world….we live HOURS away from each other and mostly only see each other in person once a year…but every year we pick up right where we left!
We’re going to a whole lot of weddings this summer, so they’d be gifts to the happy couples
Definitely my bridal party - they would love them! We have 7 girls (4 on my side and 3 on his) - it would be PERFECT!
:::::sigh::::::
I love these!
I want one for our rings for the ceremony and later to keep by my bed for them, 5 - one for each of the kids for a momento of the day we became a family and then the other 4 for my mom and siblings.
I would love to give these bowls to our immediate family members and save one for ourselves
These would be great gifts for my bridesmaids, personal attendants and mothers. (And, I’d keep one for myself!)
I would give one to each of my sisters (both the ones related by blood, and the ones related by love) as a gift for participating in the day.
And I would give the last one to my future husband. It would say:
With all that I am
And all that I have
I honor you
Definitely to my family and his family–it’s the perfect number. I heart Paloma’s Nest. I want one of the bowls for my ring bearer too!
I would gift these to my bridesmaids, both sets of parents, and the ceremony readers.
I would give them to my bridal party, my mom, my fiances mom and my aunts…and hopefully get to keep one for myself!
I have always admired these bowls. I love their simplicity and design.
I would give these as gifts to our parents and our remaining grandparents for making the journey to our wedding.
am i the only one thinking, graduation presents?
I would give them to all of the significant women in my life. I love these!
for my future sister in law - with her wedding logo: “forever” on one bowl and “and ever and ever” on another…
Love it! And these would be perfect keepsakes for our bridal party! I <3 Paloma’s Nest
Oooohhh, love these! I would actually split them between my mother, my future mother in law, and our grandmothers since we’re getting married the day before Mothers Day!
I LOVE THESE!! I would definately give them to my girls (bridal party), my FMIL and my officiant because he is doing us a favor and performing our ceremony as a gift:)
I would gift these to all the people helping in our wedding who aren’t in the bridal party, but are still just as important.
I have 6 bridesmaids and B has 4 groomsman, so these would be absolutely perfect! Although it would be hard not to keep one for myself….
I would give these to our closest friends whom we could not include in our bridal party.
I would give them to all the women who had a hand in helping, from my maid of honor to my Mother In Law!
Love em!
Wow 319 comments already… goodness!
I love these and would be soo happy to win this. I would share them with my bridesmaids, a friend who isn’t a bridesmaid but is my great advice giver, my mom and my grandmothers. So great!
i would LOOOOOOOOVE to win these! i’ve been eyeing them for quite some time but do not have the money to spend on them. I would definitely give these to our maid of honor and best man. They would LOVE such a personalized gift.
i just love paloma’s bowls…so beautiful. well i have 6 bridesmaids, one for my mom, one for his mom and for the 2 remaining grandmothers…how sad none for me!
I would give them to my three lovely bridesmaids, my adorable flowerless flower girl (venue prohibits throwing anything), my FI’s mom & stepmom, my sister (who will be walking me down the aisle), his godmother (for all she’s done throughout the process, from the engagement party to helping with the shower, and also because she’s just an amazing person), my boss (who is helping us find non-cheesy wedding readings and has been amazingly understanding throughout all of my wedding neurotic mess) and I’d still have one left over either to keep or more likely to give to someone I’ve forgotten in my list!
I would give them to by bridal party as well as my parents and my fiance’s parents. These are so cute and it would be a great gift.
Oh! I was showing these to my mother the other day and she thought they were just adorable! I would definitely give one to her. I would use the rest as hostess gifts for all the wonderful ladies who have volunteered to host showers for me. I really think they would love them.
We are having a small, intimate wedding. So I would gift them to all the family and friends that are helping out and making the trip. Each with their own special message of course.
I would give them to my bridesmaids and my MIL.
i would gift them to our bridal party members. I can see the girls use them as jewelry holders.
I would give one to my wonderful soon-to-be husband on our wedding day, one each to our sisters, one each to our witnesses - who are also our best friends, one for both sets of parents, and the remaining three for couples whose marriages have been an inspiration to us over the course of our relationship.
I would give them to family, my son, mine and his mother, our grandmothers, his dad and wife, my two sisters and his sister, and of course one for us!!
I’d give them to the 8 members of our bridal party and 2 ushers. How cute!
I’d give them to my 4 bridesmaids, 2 attendants, mother, grandmother, FMIL, and use one for our ceremony.
To our parents and grandparents. What a special way to remember the day!
I would give them to 4 BM’s, and 3 sets of parents (FI’s parents are remarried). Those bowls are so cute!
What a great giveaway! I love these bowls. I would give them to my bridal party (6) and to both mothers and grandmothers….
This is such a great giveaway! I’d like to give them to the entire bridal party and some of the other very important people who are helping us with the day.
bridal party! i hope i’m not too late!!!
to give them to all of the parents/family members that have worked so hard on our wedding! What a great gift!
I would gift them to my future husband, and have inscribed on them our 10 attributes and promises of love that we are saying in our vows, thus our vows would be etched into not only our eternal lives but our worldly lives as well!
I have 7 wonderful bridesmaids…that’s right, 7! And it’s impossible to show my gratitude to them, because it will cost so much to give them meaningful gifts. So winning this prize would be huge for me! I was already planning on finding a quote that represented my friendship with each bridesmaid- that’s what I’d put on the custom bowls. The other 3 would go to our parents (one to each set) and the mother of our flower girl/ring bearers to honor our relationships with those special people!
To all the important women (Bridesmaids, mothers, grandmothers)
I would give them to the elders of my family. My mother, grandmother, great grandmother, mother in law and aunts. They appreciate the sentimental value of not just being giving a gift but the reasonings behind me giving it to them. Remembering that the gift would also hold a special memory of a wonderful family forming, an addition to families and a bond between not just me and my family and my husband and his but a bond making us one big family.
So I would love to win this gift.
We’re having a small wedding, so I would gift these little beauties to our MOH, BM, our parents and our officiant (my aunt). These are so charming!!
I would give them the bridal party and my FH and I’s moms. They would love it so much!
I would give them to family - my parents and brother, his parents and siblings and my 2 grandmothers. I think it would be really special for every family member to have that as a momento of the day our families combined.
i would give them to all my bridesmaids and to my mom and granmothers. It would be a lovely thank you gift after the wedding! i hope i win!
I would gift them to my bridal party and my Mom and future Mom in law. They would be the perfect gift, to remember our special day.
I would give one to each bridesmaid (5 of them) to thank them for being my friends (and family) for all this time and for everything they have done to support me and help @ my wedding. Then I would gift one to my mom for being so amazing and supportive all my life and one to my future mother in law because over the 6 years i have been dating her son we have grown very close. Next would probably to my grandma for being my friend and confidant when i needed expert advice and to my fiance’s grandma as a thank you for her injections of family tradition into our wedding and as a thank you for all of the beautiful things she embroidered and crocheted for us. The last one would go to my adorable flower girl because she is such a sweet little girl who has a very special place in my heart.
I would give these lovely bowls to all of the strong women in our family. I would give them to Fi’s sisters, our mothers, our grandmothers, and our Aunts. All the women who have shaped us into the people we are today. <3
i would give them to my mom’s family, who would be traveling all the way from the dominican republic to be at my wedding, including my abuela — who i haven’t seen in 10 years. exactly ten people are coming! i’d have them engraved “te quiero” and leave them at their place settings with a note telling them how much they mean to me.
I would gift these to my bridesmaids, my mother, and my grandmother
my dear sister - who is on a budget and still searching for gifts for her bridal party (plus i am in it, so bonus for me!)
I would gift them to our parents and siblings, and keep one or two for the two of us!
We are not having a wedding party, but there are definitely people that we would like to thank for their part in our relationship.
It is the little things in a wedding that makes the day special. So I would gift these adorable bowls to the readers at our ceremony, the pastor, our wedding coordinator who has made our wishes evolve into our big day, as well as the myriad of others (up to 10 of course!!) who we’d like to thank with something very special. The perfect thank you… from us and Paloma’s Nest!
Oh my goodness these are wonderful! We are getting married in a matter of weeks and I’ve been debating if/what we should give the other particicpants in our wedding outside of our party, and these are absolutely perfect! I would give these to our candlelighters, singers, guest book attendants, and readers as a special thanks.
I want to give these out as thank you gifts to all the ladies who have helped us with the wedding. FI’s cousin for making flower girl headpieces and sashes. My aunt for doing all the translations of the invitations and programs into Chinese. Our cousins for coordinating the 4 sides of our families (my mom’s, my dad’s, his mom’s, his dad’s). My cousin and FSIL for corralling our little ring bearers. And then the last 2 to our mothers.
I would gift these to my bridesmaids, of course
Easy peasy. These adorable bowls would go to the 3 bridemaids, the 3 groomsmen, our moms, and our flower girl and junior bridesmaid.
So cute! I’d give one to each of my siblings (8!) and my parents
I’m not engaged yet…but we are going to look at rings this weekend! I would give them to my friends when I “propose” to them to be my bridesmaids and our sisters and mothers for all their support.
i would give them to my 3 bridesmaids, 2 other friends, my mom, and 4 aunts.
I’d give them to our four grandmothers (three of whom can’t attend our wedding, so we’re trying to do something special for them!), two mothers, my fiance’s cousin who is driving my fiance’s grandmother from MA to NC for our wedding, our two sisters and keep one for me because they’re too cute.
To all of the people who have supported us along the way and helped shape us into the people and couple that we are today!!!
the special ladies in my life would love this!
My bridesmaids, mom, and FMIL
I would give the bowls to my bridesmaids and my grandma! For Christmas, she gave me an heirloom bowl that she’s kept for years, and I would love to give something back to her.
2 Flower girls, 3 bridesmaids, Grandma H, Grandma N, Nanny, Ms. Frances, Mom
i would give it to the people who means the most to me.. that’ll be.
~ mom
~ my husband
~ my sisters 3 of them
~ my grandfather
~ future mother/father in law
~ future sister in law
~ my bestgirlfriends 2 of them
I would give them to my Parents & Grand Parents, they love little thoughtful / Cute items!
to everybody who’s helped us: family, bridal party, officiant. I think my father would like it best; he’d always complaining about my mother leaving her jewelry around!
I think my girlfriends & my sister would appreciate this more than anyone else, so one for me and I’ll pick 9 of them!
All the people that are helping us, our family, and bridal party
I would gift a set of bowls to my amazing parents who have loved me through the best and worst times. I would also gift a set of bowls to my soon to be in-laws who have raised such an amazing son that I am so happy to share the rest of my life with. I would also give a bowl to each of my wonderful sisters. We have leaned on each other when we could no one else, and would not be the person I am today if not for them. I would then also give a set to my fiancé’s grandparents who have been so kind and loving by accepting me with open arms to their family.
I would give them to my 5 bridesmaids, all 4 grandmothers and one for my mom!
I would give one to my maid of honor. I would also give one to each of our mothers and each of our surviving grandmothers. The remaining bowls I would either give my bridesmaids or to our “padrinos” (wedding sponsors).
I would give these beautiful treasures to our bridesmaids and mothers.
My fiance and I just ordered a ring bowl for our ceremony from Palomasnest and we plan to pass around our rings during the ring-warming part of the ceremony. We would love to be able to give these bowls to the friends and family who are participating in the ceremony. As a gay couple, it means so much to us to have the love and support of our friends and family as we make a public commitment to each other.
I would give them to my 10 (yes, seriously 10) bridesmaids! Each of them is an amazing woman who has brought something special to my life, and I will always love them!
I would give these to my bridesmaids and parents…everyone who will make that day so awesome!!
I would give 1 to each of my 8 bridesmaids and maid of honor. 1 to my mom. and keep 1 to remember my big day!
I would give these to my bridal party and mothers They are soooo beautiful!
I would give them to my bridesmaids, fmil, my mother, and my readers. Thanks for the contest!
I will be completely honest with you:
If I win this competition, I would keep them all for myself and my husband-to-be. That is not to say that I’m selfish– that is just what I’d do.
I’d have them each customized with a different saying about love (preferably in different languages as well, since that is very romantic) and I would display them in our new home after we are married.
I wouldn’t be able to choose only 10 people to give these too, and I wouldn’t want anyone to feel excluded. I would put them on display at the reception for all to see (perhaps one at each table), but I would eventually keep them for myself.
That is just the honest truth.
Thanks!
Definitely to my bridesmaids and other wedding participants (readers, calligrapher, etc). So cute!
I’m partial to these because my last name is Palomo =) I would give these to our mothers and the women in our lives who have set such a beautiful example of what marriage really is.
these would definitely go to my girlfriends flying in from nyc! they’re adorable.
I like to keep my circle of support small and close, so 10 is a perfect number for each of the very important people in my life. This includes grandmas, my sister, my mom, my bestest girlfriends, and one bestest boy-friend.
I would give them to my bridal party, and some special people who have helped us put the wedding together.
I would give one to each of the four parents. They are where we have come from and stand by us each and every day. I would give one to each one of the 5 people standing up in our wedding, for they are the ones with whom we share our love and our laughter. And the final gift, I give to my future husband, for it is with him that all our dreams are made possible. I hope that it can forever be a symbol of the love we share and of the gift that he has given me: himself.
I love these bowls! I would give them to my two sisters, one SIL, and seven “bridesfriends,” my best friends from various points in my life who helped so much in the planning process!
I would gift these to our parents and siblings with a quote about joining our families together. I love the idea of them being scattered across the country but uniting our new family.
We are having a post-wedding brunch for out of town guests. Seeing as this will be on Mother’s Day, I would love to give these special bowls not only to my mother and future mother-in-law, but also to the other mothers who are sharing this special weekend with us.
I would gift them to my two shower hosts, my six bridesmaids, and my two officiants. I can’t thank these people enough and I adore the option of customizing them with witty, spiritual, or appreciative quotations depending on the person.
I would gift the bowls to my fiances entire family. He is one of five kids so, they could have a whole set! I would give the additional gifts to my great aunt, my twin sister, my mother and my two closest girlfriends - all the important women in my life
I would give them to my family who will be coming from Europe - my aunts and uncles, cousins and also to my grandparents who won’t be able to make it.
2 for our parents
2 for bridesmaids
1 for godmother
1 for cousin
1 to our photographer
3 to our grooms
I’ll definitely give to my parents and wedding party. These are beautiful and simple!
2 for our bridesmaid
2 for our groomsmen
1 for ourselves
2 for our moms
1 for my cousin/host
1 for our officiant
1 for my niece/flowergirl
So beautiful and useful
I would love to give these to my bridal party, parents, and future in laws.
I was just looking at these today. I think my future DIL would give them to her bridesmaids and hopefully her mom and me!
I’d give one to my Mom, FMIL, FSIL, readers and I’d keep one for myself! I was thinking of having our rings passed around the guests during the ceremony before we exchange them and these would be perfect!
I already have my bridesmaids gifts- our groomsmens gifts and our parents gifts. I would give these beauitful little bowls to our brothers and sisters- betweent my fiance and i, we have a large number of siblings who have helped in so many ways and it would be nice to be able to recognize them with something as nice as these little bowls.
I may be late—but I would give one bowl to each bridesmaid and groomsmen, we have exactly ten! I’d love to choose a different quote about love/friendship/support that specifically applies to the recipient to make it really personal.
I would gift a bowl to my mom, my future mother in law, my sister and my sister in law as a thank you for supporting us through our relationship and for being there to help all the time!
The women in my life (& my Dad) deserve so much credit when it comes to our September wedding planning. I live 2000 miles away from our wedding site and well it hasn’t been the easiest task to plan a full wedding on the internet! So my enlisted crew of bridesmaids, family friends and my Pops have been life savers. I think they all deserve a little something extra for all their hard work and dedication to our wedding and my sanity. So 10 bowls would be given to my dad, my mom, my FMIL, FSIL, 5 bridesmaids, and our Deputy for the Day, FI’s uncle who agreed to preform our ceremony.
Oh, I can’t wait…
i’d give these to our bridal party.
I would give them to my bridal party - I have exactly 10 people (MOH, BM, 4 bridesmaids, 4 groomsmen). Perfect!
I would give them to my parents, so that they can have something to put their rings in… especially for being such a great example of marriage and commitment. I would also give them to my grandparents for being such strong family role models. They would be great…something to give to all generations. =o)
my fiance and bridal party. thanks!
I would give them to the important ladies in my life: my sister, bridesmaids, niece and mother.
They are gorgeous and simple — a gift suitable for anyone I am sure.
I would give a bowl to each of the women in my life that have contributed to my strength: My Mom, My 2 sisters, My Closest 4 girl friends, My FMIL, My FSIL and I would keep one for myself.
I simple love these and would want to use it to hold my rings at night.
These are so perfect, I just love them! Luckily we have a small bridal party, so I could give the to my maids and the mothers, my grandmother, and my fiancee’s sister. She isn’t a bridesmaid, so this would be the perfect way to include and thank her for her help.
Please, please pick me!
I would give them to my bridal party. I have 9 amazing girls that are so dear to my heart in my bridal party. I think this would be an amazing gift to give them. The last one would be for me. Since my FI is a hudge star wars fan I think it would be cute to put “may the force be with us” on my bowl if I win.
I would gift them to my mother, FMIL and my BMs
I would give them to my fiance’s cousins. They are three little girls and we could only pick one (the youngest) to be the flower girl. I feel bad leaving the other two out so maybe they would appreciate these one day.
I would give one to each of my bridesmaids, my mother and my fiance’s mother, and the last two to my grandmother and his grandmother.
I would definitely give them to all of the ladies. My bridesmaids, my mother, my future mother-in-law and both of our grandmothers.
I would give them to the ladies in my life!!
I would give them to my grandparents who have been married for 61 years, my FI’s grandparents who have been married for 55 years then I’d hand out the rest to the people (probably at the rehearsal dinner) whose marriage has inspired us in various ways (like my pastor and his wife for the way they honor God in their family; my FI’s friends who are the most wonderful parents)
these are so lovely! i would give them to bridesmaids as well as our moms and officiant!
i would give them to my bm, mother of groom, my mom, my grandmother and groom grandmother.
I’ve already exhausted my brain for BM gifts but these would be perfect for my officiant, coordinator and her assistant, my make-up person (a friend) and MOH’s mom who is hosting my shower and my BM’s Mom who is doing my hair.
My bridal party, our mothers, and my host mother with whom i lived for two years in germany.
OMG I’ve been waiting to enter a contest for something I NEED (gifts!!).
I would gift them to:
1. Myself and my FI!
2. MOH and her FH
3. Best man and his FW
4. My parents
5. FI’s parents
I would gift each of them two:
One with our names and wedding date
One with their names (and wedding date if already married, no date if engaged)
Definitely to the family of our parents’ generation. So many special aunts and uncles!
i would LOVE to give these to our grandmothers, mothers, and special aunts who have been so supportive during the whole planning process!!!
to my closest friends of course.
i would put meaningful quotes on them so that they can always remember me
