Picking out the accessories for my ceremony and the supplies for my reception wasn’t half as hard as trying to choose something nice for my bridesmaids. I had a really difficult time finding exactly what I wanted to get for them. A number of favors for reception guests and people who stand up in your wedding are out there on the web. Trying to select just the right one is where it got difficult. I found some bargains on thank you presents, too. I got a really good deal on a wedding set that had a ring bearer pillow, a flower girl basket, a guest book, a pen, and eight pieces in total. I spent a whole lot less than I expected on that. Buying them together rather than individually saved me a pretty penny.
While looking for the thank you gifts for my bridesmaids, I found a very lovely jewelry box I thought they all might like to have. As I looked, I discovered a variety of high-quality wedding jewelry boxes. My head was swirling from all of the options out there for thank you presents, and I had to just go work on some other part of the wedding to get my focus back. I had almost everything I needed for the ceremony, but there was a few more things I needed to pick out for my reception. One thing that was on my plate, so to speak, was finding a wedding cake topper, and another was picking out wedding gifts for my friends and relatives, so I paid attention to those two next. I picked out some really cute bride and groom salt and pepper shakers and chrome bottle openers shaped like doves. Normally, I would have gotten some containers for the chrome openers, but the boxes they came in were so adorable that I just went with those. The groomsmen all got a Swiss Army Knife type things from my groom, complete with a file and cork screw.
We got a cake topper of pair of newly weds locked in a loving embrace. I almost picked one out that had embossed silver intials and crystals, but after looking through a whole bunch of possibilities, I went with our mini bride and groom. Now, I had everything but the gifts for my girls, so I had to make a final decision. I bought them all a piece of unique wedding jewelry, and I put it in girls jewelry boxes. I chose a beautiful rhinestone bracelet for all of them. It wasn’t over-the-top, even though it might seem that way. There were a lot of choices of discount wedding jewelry available, which meant I could get them something really nice, and still save money. In fact I bought my pearl wedding jewelry to go with my wedding gown there too. There were some awesome bargains on very elegant jewelry items. The women in our wedding were elated with what I got them, and the men seemed pretty content with their thank you presents, too.
The wedding day was everything that I had fantasized it could be. My groom’s brother caught the garter, and my sister, who’s also not dating anyone, managed to grab the bouquet. Might something come of it? If they did get together and someday took the plunge, he would still be my brother in law, but my sister would also be my sister in law too. Anything is possible!
