Gifts for family who are helping

Nano78 · November 2009

Hi ladies- I have family from south america who unfortunately can't attend the wedding..however, two of my aunts are helping tremendously with some stuff.One of my aunts makes clothes and volunteered to make my veil and the pashmina's for my BM's and my other aunt is making my unity candle with the writing..my mom is bringing them up when she comes in february..I offered to send them money for the materials and got yelled at..LOL..I am so greatful for this because they really are HUGE help..I want to thank them somehow and get them a gift..my question is what to get them in a different country?? any ideas?? thank ladies

Oh I asked my mom too and she said thats not necessary but I kinda feel it is..these two aunts are awesome and one is my mom's sister and the other is my mom's SIL..

Maybe you could make a small photo album of the wedding day for each of them with a letter of thanks. I think for two aunts who wish they could be there but can't, this would be a nice thing for them to have.

Are you having a videographer? Perhaps you can order a couple of extra copies of your wedding DVD to send to them, since they can't be there in person. If not, then perhaps you can have your photographer make small albums for them. Since those wouldn't be ready until well after the wedding, you could send a really nice card with a heartfelt thank you note in the meantime.
