Personalized Wedding Gifts

When wedding gifts showcase the names of bride and groom, the personalization of such a gesture is one that lasts a lifetime, often holding a special place in their hearts. In this day and age, more and more people are customizing and personalizing their belongings, making a personalized wedding gift the perfect fit for choosing the ideal wedding present. To deliver a gift with a unique meaning, you may consider the following suggestions:

Key Chain Pendants: Matching key chain pendants with the name of the bride and groom etched on the outside are a great way to give married couples the chance to proudly display their recent marriage.

Scented Candles: While these types of candles probably won't see the soft glow of a flame, personalized wedding candles look fantastic when decorating a mantle or curio cabinet.

Personalized Platters: A display plate or decorative platter showcasing the names of bride and groom makes a thoughtful gift, especially for the couple that enjoys displaying knick-knacks about the house.

Photo Quilt: Not only does the personalization of a quilt touches the hearts of both bride and groom, but when you incorporate the added element of using memorable photos of the two within the design of the quilt you have found a winning wedding gift.

Accent Pillow: Personalized accent pillows may decorate the guest bedroom or find a place within the master bedroom, as they delicately display the names of bride and groom. An added touch is selecting a personalized pillow that also includes the photos of the newlyweds.

Cake Toppers: A clever personalized wedding gift may include customized cake toppers fashioned from one of your favorite photos of bride and groom. Usually, such a gift is hand-sculpted in polymer clay, offering a variety of styles, including larger-than-life caricatures. On the bottom of the cake toppers, the name of bride and groom are displayed. This keepsake is one that surely creates unique conversation.

Picture Frame: A simple and classic picture frame serves as a decent wedding gift, which often uses a fancy script to delicately showcase the names of bride and groom. This option is known to make the perfect keepsake to place a wedding day photo.

Pewter Champagne Goblets: Names of the bride and groom can be etched on the outside of fashionable champagne goblets, which may or may not include the date of the wedding.

Overall, there are plenty of ways to give the bride and groom in your life a heartfelt and special personalized wedding gift. With a little bit of imagination, you may come up with quite the creative gesture, while there is nothing wrong with following traditional means of gift-giving.

Maid of Honor Wedding Toast Ideas

If the bride has asked you, the maid of honor to make a wedding toast following the best man speech, you can be sure that she thinks you are really something special. Instead of being nervous and feeling pressured, take it like the honor it is and use some creativity to make a speech that will be long remembered.

How to Open

You can begin simply by introducing yourself and your role in the wedding. You can then make all the appropriate thanks to the right people. Once you have taken care of the necessities you can relate your friendship experience with the bride or, if you are her sister, you can relate what it was like growing up with her. You can then add some funny anecdotes about how the bride first viewed her new husband. You can also mention how she has changed since they got together.

The Meat and Potatoes of the Wedding Toast

You can express your sentiments on how you feel about your best friend getting married and how you think it may impact your friendship. You can say how you are not losing one friend, but gaining another. If you are a married woman you can give the bride and groom some relationship and marriage advice. If you are single yourself, you can say how you hope to someday meet a wonderful man who sweeps you off your feet as the groom at this wedding has done to his bride.

Getting emotional is all a part of giving a wedding toast, so dont worry if you feel yourself beginning to tear up. The guests will expect it and as long as you have a hankie or a tissue handy, crying should be no problem. You will know you are a success if you see the guest reaching for something to dry their eyes too.

You can talk about what it was like to work with the bride to get her wedding together in time for the big day. You are sure to come up with some amusing stories regarding shopping, accessories and the brides temper flare ups at times. You can end your toast by wishing the bride and groom all the best of luck and congratulations. You can tell them both how much you care for them and you hope that their happiness lasts and you hope you will see the same smile of joy on their faces when they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary together.
