Bestfriend Eloping - Need Gift Ideas

evolamy

My bestfriend is eloping, just her and her soon to be husband to Hawaii. They bought a package deal there. I am so happy for her and while eloping takes SO much stress off of planning, expenses, family drama, etc., I know she is going to miss the experience of having all of your best friends there with you to help you, bridesmaids. I want to do something for her so that she will still feel like we are there with her. I am putting together a survival kit for the day of and making a bride to be shirt for her to wear while she gets ready, etc but I need more ideas on how I can make it special for her from us without us being there with her. Any ideas?

It's not much of an elopement if everyone knows! It sounds like it's more of a private ceremony. I would keep any gift to her small. I am sure they are taking a lot with them on the trip and their luggage will probably be full. Also, the wedding coordinator, if there is one, will probably have a lot of the essentials prepared for them. I would maybe focus on a honeymoon kit if they are staying on the islands for the HM. Buy things that they will need to bring with them anyway- sunscreen, a hat, flip flops, lip balms, and maybe some aloe after sun lotion!
