Gifting the Party

October 7th, 2011 @ 11:10 am by Mrs. Teaspoon

That is our bridal party, of course! We had two bridesmaids and two groomsmen to thank in anticipation of their support, friendship, and assistance with going to the bathroom (just the bridesmaids for that one!). Luckilly, I didn’t actually end up needing help with going to the bathroom that day;  thanks to Mrs Cola’s lovely picture I was able to successfully navigate that issue alone!

Now, onto the point at hand: the Teaspoons had decided early on what we intended to give the boys, after we had seen it as a very handy gift at a wedding about a year before our wedding.

We had them engraved and the boys had fun with their scotch in them on the wedding day! So did some of our other guests—but that’s a post for another day (or not).

For the girls, we had 2 gifts.

This first one was very handy to keep them warm while we were taking some pictures on the day. I went with the cream colour to contrast against their bridesmaids’ dresses in navy:

Then I also chose something to keep them warm the morning of the wedding and help us all to feel more “weddingy” (it’s totally a word). You will have to wait until our recaps to see the final result. However, they were along the same vein as these little numbers:

Our bridal party was really happy with the gifts that we gave them (or at least they told us they were) and they seemed to really enjoy them! We also bought Mr Teaspoon an engraved hip flask and I got myself an embroidered hoodie, of course!

It was actually really fun thinking of the things to purchase to thank our bridal party, and we were glad that they were also handy on the day of our wedding!

What are you gifting your bridal party? Will any of the items come in handy on your wedding day?

I love the hoodies! I bet that made for some really cute getting ready pictures! The pashminas are gorgeous too - and they will be able to get so much use out of them since you chose a neutral color. You had a lucky bridal party!

The gifts are awesome! We always think that something utilitarian would be the perfect gifts for our BM and GM, we plan to send the girls beautiful clutches and the boys USB flash disk, hope they will like it ~~~

Ohhh, I love these! Mr. P also got flasks for him and his brother. I didn’t know about it until I found his flask hiding in his drawer one day. I asked why he chose those, and he said, “Well, it was either a flask for a plaque, and I thought this was cooler. Plus, my brother was really stoked.” Haha, boys! I just want to see him start using his flask now!
