So one of my gifts to my bridesmaids are special handkerchiefs I would like for them to use them the wedding. I was going to have the hanky wrapped around their bouquet but I have decided against flowers for the girls. Any cute ideas out there? Thanks!

    Well, anything that is used in your wedding isn't a gift.  If you want to give them the hankie as a gift (I can't imagine most people having a use for a hankie, but maybe your friends might?)   But, give it to them as a gift with zero affiliation or use for your wedding. 

    Gifts to your wedding party should be personal for them. Not an additional prop for your wedding.

    I was wondering about this too.  Apparently hankies are a wedding tradition for the bride and my g'ma just gave me the one she wore at her wedding and I have no idea what to do with it.  My mom suggested wrapping my flowers, but I already have a wrap for those..... :(

    My Fiance's family is of polish decent. They do what is called the Polish Bridal Dance (This is similiar to the $ dance). All of the guests wave hankies and dance in a circle around you. We are getting hankies to hand out at our reception and I am giving my girls hankies with their names embroderied (they requested these).
