Bridal Shower gift ideas from the maid of honor?

HI all I am new to this site and wanted to ask if anyone has been to a bridal shower where the bride got a gift that was so unique or creative you wanted it for your self? I am doing  the wine poem basket, I got her a custom wood Established plaque, a custom wedding dress hanger with her new last name on it but i am looking for something else... any suggestions?? TIA

  • Well I think one of our gifts for our wedding fit this bill. My BIL and his g/f got us one of those letter art things that spells out our last name--where someone takes different objects to spell out letters.

    Like this: LINK

    It said our last name spelled out using letter art and then our wedding date under it. They also got it framed. It's hanging in our hallway and I love it. I know Hobby Lobby can do this and I'm sure there are places online as well.

    <div>Be careful with anything that involves a last name unless you know for a fact the bride is taking her husband's last name.  I'm not taking FI's last name, so I wouldn't think much of anything with his last name on it.</div>

    Yes, this. I suggested what I did because it sounds like she knows the bride is taking her husband's name since she got her a hanger already with her new last name on it.

    OP, if you didn't ask already, I would.
