Cool Ideas For Groomsmen Gifts
Saturday, August 8th, 2009As the groom this is probably one of the few things you have to do on your own. That is choosing groomsmen gifts. These guys are your close friends and family who came to stand with you on your wedding day. On top of that they are the guys that threw you a killer bachelor’s party. So how do you thank them? Give them great gifts that don’t suck. Seriously do not even think that you can get away with giving them whatever your bride is giving her friends or relatives. If they don’t laugh you out the room, the sheer embarrassment you will feel from seeing their reactions will be enough. So here four great tips and ideas to help you find cool gifts that your groomsmen will appreciate and actually keep.
First off, do not go with the wedding favors that you will give at the reception. This is suicide. It is almost as bad trying to give whatever your bride is giving her friends. These are your close friends and family. So put some effort into it. These gifts are meant to show how much these guys mean to you. If only do this with complacency your gift is definitely going to bomb. A great place to start is with what they like. You have known these guys for a good while so you must have an idea from birthdays or just conversations that you have had what they want to receive for a gift.
The next thing is don’t’ be stingy. This is once again not like wedding favors where you can afford to be cheap because you have over a hundred guests. Even then you will be cutting close if you don’t put effort in that area. Trust me your bride will tell you the same thing if you ask her. Now especially if it is an especially small group, you better ante up the cash for something nice. You don’t have to break the bank, just give gifts that don’t look like you got them on the sales rack in front of the cashier at the convenience store. If you put some money towards a decent gift it will be obvious and your groomsmen will appreciate it
Now a great gift idea is electronic gadgets. Do you remember seeing a display at JCPenny or Marshall’s with a display of semi useful and intriguing items? That is a good place to start. As you well know these gadgets are fall under the category of guy’s toys. They are semi useful and just fun because of how novel they are. For example my Dad found these really cool self heating mugs that you could plug into your car lighter. Think along these lines. Something novel and useful will definitely be a hit.
Another great suggestion is sports accessories. This one is a fine line. You have to find something that you know your buddies were looking for that they knew would be useful. A great example is golf. There are a lot of accessories that your friends wish that they had with them on the course to help their game go easier. Sports gifts are popular because the fall once again under the categories of fun and useful. Just make sure that you get the maximum value for your purchases.

Great Ideas For Wedding Gifts And Wedding Accessories
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009by Andrea McClure
You may be a bride, or simply a guest and you are thinking about what to give for such a special occasion. As a bride you have to give favors to thank your guests for attending. As a guest you have to give the bride something as part of the wedding shower. For a lot of people this is their first time doing this and it can be a bit confusing at times without help. So I will strive to give aid to both the bride and the wedding guest about choosing great gifts and accessories and here are 5 innovative suggestions to help you out.
For the bride, start with your theme. Half the battle for deciding wedding gifts and accessories lies in deciding a theme for your wedding. Pick something close to your heart. It can be a job you love, a place you visited, or something reflecting your personal history or heritage. This done the choosing of gifts become easy as your theme will guide your choices. You will be nudged in the right direction as what is tasteful and what is bad. The main rule of thumb is that if the theme can’t be realized properly in a wedding favor it’s probably not the one to choose. Going by the suggestion you can never go wrong.
For the guest use what you know. Choosing gifts for the bride and groom is quite simple when you think about it. You first have to think about the couple. Are you close to them? Do you share mutual friends? Use these connections to help inform and guide your decision of a gift. The other thing to keep in mind is the traditional gifts given at wedding. For example you know that gifts that will be useful in the newlyweds’ home are a traditional type of gift.
For the Bride, think of useful items that your guest might need in everyday life. I had a relative go to a wedding recently so I asked her what was done at the wedding. She received a water bottle promoting water conservation. Since she is a gardener at a university it was something she could use on the job and it was a hit with other coworkers who were also at the wedding.
Also another suggestion for the bride when choosing accessories is no use them in the most obvious way. Try new perspectives of old tried and true gifts. Look for new interpretations whenever possible. Try applying a gift in a different way than normal. Another good idea is to look for ways to make the accessories your own customize when appropriate and look for inspiration around you. The surprising thing is as common as human experience is no two people’s lives and passions are exactly alike. Using this as your guiding philosophy you will find a design style or dcor that is uniquely your own.
Overall use your imagination. Yes there are the established gifts and traditional ways of thinking about how to choose them. But don’t’ be afraid to break the mold or try something new. The key is that in the end you give gifts that reflect how well you know your target recipient. The more in line with this the gift is the more likely it will be a success.

Finding The Right Bridal Shower Favors Can Be Fun
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009It’s not uncommon to find when planning a wedding or bridal shower, the whole aspect of favors for the party can drive you right crazy. Are they necessary or not? What if I pick the wrong ones? Bridal shower favors do not make sense to some folks since it’s the guests who are supposed to be giving gifts to the bride, not the other way around. However, small wedding shower favors can be a thoughtful touch to help the shower guests enjoy the affair. In the minds of some, wedding shower favors are not an option while others might not see it that way. When the “rubber meets the road”, it’s a personal choice, though when you aren’t completely sure what’s expected, providing small inexpensive shower favors is probably a good idea to avoid offending any shower attendees.
Bridal or wedding showers are normally put on by the maid-of-honor and revolve around the bride accompanied by her closest friends and family meeting to give her gifts and celebrate her impending wedding. However, some couples choose to buck tradition and arrange wedding showers without the traditional gender roles. These parties include both the bride & groom, which require a different strategy when it comes to planning the wedding shower favors and other details. Still, the majority of all showers are focused on the bride and are theme oriented in nature.
Shower favors can be fun to pick out. In part this is because they can be more intimate and fun than the favors one would choose for the more formal wedding reception. Bridal showers are clearly more intimate parties, as they include the bride’s closest friends. The bridal shower favors should always match the event theme, but should also take into account the personality of the bride. As most of the guests are very closely acquainted with the bride, they aren’t expected to be offended by somewhat racy conduct or behaviour. Whether the bridal shower favors are sentimental or light-hearted, they need to somehow connect with the likes of the bride, as it is the bride that the party is all about.
It’s the chosen theme of your party that is the determining factor for many of the other details, and can really be helpful in selecting bridal shower favors. The theme itself is usually chosen to match the personality of the bride. For example, if the bride is daring and outgoing, bringing this theme to the gifts will add that needed personal touch. For the skiing fanatic, a wintery theme for the party may be good (perhaps even if it’s held in the middle of summer!), with snowflakes and hot chocolate and images of ice-coated evergreens. Bridal shower favors for a bride that is fanatical about the outdoors and nature might be thoughtfully made from environmentally friendly materials and be themed with nature in mind, such as trees or birds or rivers. The theme can really steer the selection of bridal shower favors, and it is best to decide on this first.
The most preferable favors are the ones your attendees have a practical use for. Most of the cute variety of wedding shower favors might seem like a good idea, but often are destined for a home at the back of some drawer, awaiting their imminent disposal. Bridal shower favors are most pleasing to guests if useful while still some fun. Photo frames, photo coasters and cameras make popular gifts, and come in a range of designs and colors plus many can be personalized.
When you find your level of excitement getting the best of you while finding out the extent of options available in wedding shower favors, but you have to be concerned about price, always keep rational about it. Knowing the number of guests to be in attendance for the party and figuring out your maximum affordable price per favor can be helpful in selecting the right bridal shower favors while keeping them affordable. Smaller parties will have more options, but it’s really quite amazing what is actually available at affordable cost even when the party is large. When you personally choose the wedding shower favors it really does add a nice touch to your shower, and it really will help make your event a fun experience and a success for all who attend.
