Every newlywed couple should thank their attendants. Many choose to do so with gifts. If you’re stuck for ideas, here a few that will not only show your appreciation, but commemorate the experience you had planning the wedding.    

• A photo album or scrapbook of fun moments from the planning sessions to the reception. You can feature pictures of the bride trying on different dresses, everyone dancing together at the wedding, even that last road trip you took with your attendants.
• Gift Cards for Couples’ Nights: Now that your attendants have helped celebrate you as a couple, this is a good way to celebrate their relationships. If someone is single, a spa day is a welcome alternative.
• A pair of wines. This can be the groom’s favorite and bride’s favorite or simply a good red and a white. Dress them up with Big Dot’s Wine Bottle Covers.
• A Signature Vase featuring a personal message or favorite poem celebrating your friendship.
• A monogrammed datebook: Now that your attendants have spent their time helping you plan the most important day of your life, you can wish them the best with all of their important days!

 With any gift you give, keep your attendants personal tastes in mind. You don’t want to give a flowery picture frame to hardcore biker, for instance. Your attendants will surely love anything you give them when they see the thought and love you put into it. Don’t forget to include a personal Thank You note for each person.
