June 2012 Weddings

Gift ideas needed, please!

So I need two gift ideas. One is for my Matron of Honor/sister. I am already giving her the same gift i'm giving all the girls, a classic looking pearl ring (not to wear day of, they are just super pretty), flip flops, hanger for her dress, and something else probably a note book or something. She has done so much for me I want to get something extra special for her. I'm getting my maid of honor, my other sister, a set of cookware for her new apartment. 

Also a close friend of mine is acting as wedding planner and I want to get her something personal and special as well. I thought about a gift card for a massage or something but her husband said she really doesn't like those types of things. Thoughts?? Not to crazy expensive but something nice. thank you!

  • What about a restaurant gift card or a nice bottle of wine?

  • We are buying our officient (a close friend who refused to be paid) a nice bottle of red wine, a wine aerator, and a gift card to our local wine bistro (she's a bit of a wino).  I got my girls adorable beach bags in their fave colors an filled them with jewelry, flip flops, and a picture frame.  I will give them a picture of me with them after the wedding.
    Does your sister/DOC have any hobbies or interests you can use to help you?

    <div>oh, Yes! At least for my sister, she is into running...maybe I can get her some running gear or something. Thanks!</div>
  • Definitely a special bottle or wine or sparkling wine!
  • You can never go wrong with wine! However for my sister who only likes an occasional class I got her a nice frame that could have 3 pics in it. On the left I put a pic when we were little in the middle I found a great poem about sisters off the internet that I put in the middle and on the right side a pic of us growm up. It is actually a pic of her and I at a bridal shop with both our wedding dresses on because she gets married 3 months after me. I figured she can replace it with a pic of the two of my from my wedding or hers.

    Also I cannot say enough about etsy.com   I am not an online shopper, but this website is awesome and I have ordered tons of stuff for my wedding or my sisters shower also mothers day and everything has exceeded my expectations!
    happy gift hunting
  • I'm struggling with what to get my PAs (acting as DOC), readers and officiant. Ah!

    Not sure how much time you have left but I got a set of beer glasses dipped in caulk paint for Christmas from my SIL and love them. I've seen this done with wine glasses too. Would easily accompany a bottle of wine or 6 pack of beer depending on taste. SIL said they where pretty easy to make, she found a site online probably on pinterest or something like that.

    I had the hardest time with gifts and and am still trying to come up with something for my mom. Good luck!
  • One of the things I got my girls was a Lolita glass, they have so many styles and I was able to find something that fit each girl's personality.  You could do that and a bottle of wine?
