Mrs. High Wire, Dallas Age and Occupation: 23, Legal Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Director of Communications Engagement Date: October 9, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Clark Gardens About Me: My loves include yoga, anything spicy, our eccentric cat, our rambunctious dog, and Mr. High Wire, of course! Like the steadiness act of the tightrope walker, this gal is busy balancing life while planning a wedding to the man of her dreams. We’re hosting a laid-back, vintage-inspired, bird themed wedding with heavy doses of love, good eats (did someone say tacos and margaritas?), and endless Texas charm. Mr. High Wire and I are so happy to have you along for the walk across the tight rope.
About Mrs. High Wire

Throughout the weekend, whenever I could snag someone, I would hand them their Thank You gift for being a part of our wedding.

Mr. HW kept it simple for the guys and got each one a nice pocket knife with their initials engraved in it.

The flower girls got little dolls that had the exact same dress as the girls wore in the wedding.

Here is Aunt Pam showing off the cute dolls.

We had fun playing with them the morning of the wedding.

And they took very good care of them for the rest of the day.

Angi continued working on everyone’s nails. Bless her!

Shopping for the junior bridesmaids was probably the most difficult part. They are both not very “girly” so-to-speak. For Callie, I picked out a cute Roxy sweatshirt for when the weather cooled off (it was a scorching 97 degrees the day of the wedding!).

For my other awesome Jr. Bridesmaid, I ordered a hardback book about the history of manga.

The bridesmaids themselves all wound up with embroidered matching robes. I’m so glad I decided to go with these as gifts because they got a TON of use on the wedding day, and hopefully will get lots more use at their homes.

I decided to give them each $50 to go towards their matching shoes.

I also picked out small individualized gifts for each of them as well. A yoga shawl for my yogi bridesmaid, a pressed flower jewelry box for my dainty bridesmaid, sassy ear muffs for my runner bridesmaid, and a teapot for my tea loving maid of honor.

My MIL received a loving framed poem and my mom got a book full of mushy mommy stories.

I also picked up two small gifts for my aunt (bath product) and grandmother (picture album) who provided a lot of support to me during wedding planning.

It was really fun to spend time picking out something special for each of them.

@SaraP2012: They were from Macy’s! But I don’t think they are for sale anymore.

Here are some ones that are similar!

Those dolls are so cute, and your FGs look like they’re having so much fun with them. And I’m loving the BM robes. What a fun and useful gift!

I’ve got a boatload of ladies to buy gifts for, and a boatload of fellas as well. I’m in the process of getting them now. Like you, I’m getting one common gift and then a smaller, more personalized gift for each one. I love those robes!

I love the dolls for the girls! I also love how you got your ladies matching robes, but also a unique, personalized gift - I’m sure they were all super happy with their gifts!
