Hey everyone! So there are 41 days until the wedding...it's really crunch time! A majority of the stuff is done, but I have some questions
( Read more... )
1. I think the jewelry is fine as a gift. Even though they know what it is, I don't see a problem with it.
2. We gave ours out at the rehearsal dinner. My husband got different gifts for each groomsman, but along those lines. One got a flask, another a money clip, etc.
3. We gave both of our parents albums. With my parents having more of their family & friends and the same for my in-laws. Obviously they did not get them til after the wedding.
4. I'm not really sure about this one. We did a combined Father-Daugther, Mother-Son dance and we did that to "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart.
5. I would say it's appropriate to send a thank you now, but also not inappropriate to wait until the wedding. That's my own opinion though, I'm not really sure about proper etiquette.
6. I think it'd be ok if it didn't get played. If she happens to ask after the wedding, just tell her the DJ must not have gotten around to it between the songs you requested and the ones other guests requested.
It worked out perfect. We did it somewhere in the middle of the night and rather than make people sit through two different songs we figured we'd get it out of the way with just one. The photographer definitely got enough pictures of each of us too!
1. I think jewelry is always a nice gift, and I am of the mind that gifts don't always need to be a surprise. However, I've always felt a little squicky about making my gift be the thing I'm buying because I want them to look good and uniform in my pictures, and I say this because sometimes the jewelry doesn't always run to the taste of the bridesmaid. This is from personal experience - I was a junior bridesmaid in my aunt's wedding, and she gave me a necklace that she wanted me to wear in the wedding and that was my gift. Not to say that I didn't appreciate the gift, but it wasn't my style and I never really wore it again

1. I did the jewelry without even asking them, so I think you're doing better than I did :) I also put in some body lotion from Bath and Body works, and a notepad with their initial on it.
2. I gave them out at the rehearsal dinner. The groomsmen got personalized beer glasses. It had their name and title (best man, groomsman)
3. Didn't even know this was a "thing".
5. Either way is probably fine since the wedding is so close, but you might as well get it out of the way. One less to do after the wedding!
1. No, it's not tacky. It might be nice to include some little surprise item though. My cousin got all her bridesmaids fun t-shirts from Threadless.com which they loved, and were only $15 a piece
