Practical Bridesmaid Gifts

I know I’ve talked about giving bridesmaids tote bags as a little gift. It is great for them to use on the day of the wedding. But what about after the wedding? Not all bridesmaids will want to use the tote after that if it has your wedding info on it.

Here is an alternative. Make it something pretty, personalized, and simple. Your bridesmaids will always think of you when they use it and it is completely re-usable.

What do you think? Do you like the design? I just came up with it today! Talk to GT Screenprint

to see what kind of deal they’ll give you on it. I’ve already emailed the design to them.

Suggestions for the Father Daughter Dance

I found a website with many suggestions for the Father Daughter Dance. If you’re stuck and don’t know of any good songs, maybe this list will help you. Go to http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/father-daughter-dance-songs.

One of my favorites from the list was a song I had never heard before. It is called “Butterfly Fly Away”. You can listen to it here.

Sentimental Quilt

After my last post about the sentimental slide show as a gift for a wedding, I was thinking about a recent gift I received that really touched my heart. It could work as a wedding gift also.
Two of my friends made me a quilt. Each 12″ square was different. Each of them had different fabrics and designs representing special times I spent with each one of them. I was flooded with special memories as I looked at each different memory square. For instance, for my pre-bridal get away, my friends took me to Disneyland. Wee did a craft day. And we went to an English tea house. So one square had Mickey/Minnie fabric, tea cup fabric and sewing themed fabric. So special.
If you have a special friend getting married, keep this in mind. It will be a gift to be treasured by her and only her! If you are not a quilter yourself, maybe a friend could help you. There are also many people online that offer their quilting services (i.e. etsy.com).
