Here’s another installment in my roundup of favorite wedding gift ideas… this time for a bridal shower! I adore attending (and planning!) bridal showers, and it’s so incredibly special to have the bride surrounded by those who have touched her life the most. What a celebration! Giving gifts from the heart is the best, and I simply adore showering the bride in love, laughter, community… and fabulous, touching, personalized gifts as her big day approaches!

Favorite Bridal Shower Gifts:

• Wedding Vows gold foil print (frame it!) from the Southern Weddings Shop
• A personalized wedding dress hanger
• A custom photobook of the couple’s engagement pictures
• A gold or silver necklace with her new monogram
• Calligraphied Mr. and Mrs. coffee mugs
• Hand-painted monogram wooden tray
• Canvas print of a favorite engagement picture of the couple
• A massage/spa gift certificate to alleviate any pre-wedding stress or jitters
• Monogrammed bathing suit for her honeymoon
• Personalized beach towels for the couple’s honeymoon
• Certificate of Marriage for the couple to fill out, from the Southern Weddings Shop
• A custom ring bearer bowl
• A beautiful customized clutch in her wedding colors for the wedding day
• Letterpress stationery with her new name or mongram
• If you know the couple’s favorite Bible verse(s) or quotes, use that as inspiration for a creative gift – wall art, an art print, etc
• Pre-planned and pre-paid Date Nights for the couple for a night or two leading up to the wedding (a personal favorite gift idea of mine!)
• Offer any services (calligraphy wedding invitations, singing during the ceremony, making favors, etc) as your gift!
• Monogrammed anything!
• If you feel compelled to buy something off the couple’s registry, pick a gift or a few that really speak to your relationship with her! Do you have a lot of wine nights together? Buy those wine glasses, a cheese board, and include a bottle of your favorite wine or prosecco to jazz it up!
