Bridal Party Gifts

The bridal party gifts were really important to me... so I have been planning them for MONTHS!
I wanted them to all have similarities, but still reflect each of them :)

So here is what I ended up with for the bridesmaids:
On the inside of each of their custom "boxes" I had a silk robe, a silk nightie, a Juicy Charm bracelet, pearl necklace and earrings for the wedding, a cosmetic bag with their initial on it, and a card.
Each girl had a different looking box. I bought these boxes as I found them, and spent loads of time looking! I do not have all 7 of them pictured, but they all had the same stuff inside!

I don't know if you can see... but the ribbon has the word "bridesmaid" written on it!
TL did something very unique for each of his groomsmen. He had a really hard time finding something unique that he loved... so when he saw these custom made "bobble heads" he had to do it. For this to work, we had to get pictures of all of the groomsmen, a front picture, and side profile picture. They all look DEAD ON like the guys... its crazy!
Our little Ring Bearer Jack is probably one of the most adorable 3 year olds I have ever seen... and he is absolutely in LOVE with the movie "Cars" and everything about cars for that matter. So, I did an entire Cars theme for him from a bunch of goodies from the Disney Store.
And for the flower girls, Hailey & Hannah, I wanted to do something girlie, and something that included their very favorite "Hannah Montana"! I also wanted something as a keepsake, so we got pearl bracelets with their names engraved on them... thats in the little silver box. I also bought them their tutu's, hair pieces, and shoes :)
For my special attendants & reader (Michelle & Tare) I got them special little gifts from Tiffany's.


This is what they look like all wrapped up! :) I also included a card for each girl.
And then for our amazing Ushers - Greyson, Matt, Trevor, and Kash, I did a fun beer mug with their names engraved and then stuffed and wrapped to look pretty! Men are so hard to get gifts for, but I figured this would be fun and unique with their names on it!
We are doing some special gifts for our parents... but those involve plans for after the honeymoon!
We feel so lucky to have had so many amazing people involved in our wedding. They all mean so much to us!!
