Choosing a theme for your wedding not only makes your special day distinctive, but it also makes decision making a little easier. Most brides limit their special theme to their decorations, menu, attire, and wedding favors. However, as the bride, you have the liberty of incorporating your wedding theme into your bridesmaids gifts as well. Taking a simple cue from the theme of your wedding can make choosing your bridesmaids gifts easy and fun.
Using tote bags is a great way to begin the process of gift giving. With a little creativity, a wedding theme and a tote bag, you can create bridesmaids gifts that your girlfriends will cherish forever. Let’s take a look at some gift ideas:
Garden Theme
If you are hosting a spring wedding and have decided to use a garden theme, you may consider giving your girlfriends a tote bag filled with gardening tools. This makes for a unique bridesmaids gift that the ladies are sure to love! Some items that you may include in their personalized tote bags are: gardening gloves, a trowel, a claw cultivator, a transplanter, a pair of pruning snips, and of course garden seeds.
Get your girlfriends prepared for a day on the beach with a seaside inspired tote bag equipped with everything they will need to enjoy a little fun in the sun. Don’t forget to include: flip flops, a beach towel, sunscreen, a swimsuit cover up, shades, and a sun hat.
Asian/Oriental Theme
Asian inspired weddings always seem beautiful and quaint. Your bridesmaids will enjoy receiving a tote bag outfitted with a tea set for two, chopsticks, and fortune cookies with special messages prepared by you.
Romantic Wedding Theme
There’s nothing more romantic than witnessing a wedding between two people that are in love. What could be more appropriate than a romantic-themed wedding? Share a little of your romance with your girlfriends. Fill each tote bag with two Champaign flutes, a book of love poems, scented candles, pillar candles, and massage oil.
If you want to make your bridesmaids gifts even more special, then you might consider having each tote bag monogrammed. Your bridesmaids have worked hard to make your special day everything you dreamed it would be; now it’s time to celebrate their achievement and show your appreciation. Using your wedding theme to inspire their gifts is creative and simple!
