Always a bridesmaid

Being a bridesmaid can be a lot of fun.  Most bridesmaids are sisters of the bride, or close girlfriends. A bride can have a couple of bridesmaids or several.  It was thought that a bride would have her bridesmaid wear similar clothing to hers so that evil spirits would be confused as to who was the real bride.  Being a bridesmaid has responsibilities and fun tasks to go with the position.  Bridesmaids help with the bridal shower, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner and other wedding related activities.  Bridesmaids also are there for the bride on her big day for support and calming nerves. One task that the bride can have fun with is picking out nice favors for the bridesmaids. 

Bridesmaids’ favors are gifts that the bride gives to her bridesmaids as a way of saying thank you for all the hard work that was done for her and her wedding.  These gifts can be given out at the wedding shower, the bachelorette party or before the wedding.  The bride picks the best time to hand out her bridesmaids favors.  The favors can reflect the bride’s personality and be something fun and wild or silly.  Some ideas include t-shirts with cute designs or funny quotes over heard at the festivities. Other ideas for lighthearted favors are personalized tote bags or other stylish purse accessories like makeup bags.  If the bride is getting married in a tropical setting personalized beach towels and flip flops are sure to be valued.  If the wedding is in another country a stylish passport cover will surely be appreciated. If price is no concern bridesmaid favors  can be a keepsake that will be treasured forever.  Some pricier options include beautiful jewelry from Tiffany’s, crystal vases or silk scarves.  Whatever the option or budget shopping for bridesmaid favors can be a bit of fun during a chaotic time.

As the bride shops for bridesmaid favors she’ll most likely be looking for other wedding favors too.  It is popular to supply cheap wedding favors to all wedding guests.  Cheap wedding favors can be lip balm, votive candle holders, personalized miniature candies or small photo frames.   Most wedding favors can be set out on the reception tables or the ring bearers can pass them out at or during the reception.  Expensive or cheap wedding favors can be personalized to include the wedding date and bride and groom’s names.
