In one year, I was in 4 weddings, attended two more, and was invited to one that I couldn’t go to because it was the same weekend of one I was in, so I know a thing or two about being a wedding guest. I have another wedding coming up in December, and while I won’t be able to make it to the shower, I of course want to send the gift. The bride-to-be is one of my best friends from college and her fiance is in the fraternity where I was Sweetheart and she was lettered. I’ve been thinking about things that my brides over the past year have loved and found that they’ve needed, so I’ve come up with a little list of gift ideas for brides. You can always default their registry, if need be, but I LOVE giving surprises, especially if I can get them personalized. If you’re still at a loss, Kate Spade’s entire wedding collection is on point. I usually try to do something from the registry for the shower, and something personal for the wedding, or visa versa. That way, the couple gets something they need and a total surprise!
A note about some of my picks: One my my bridal besties got herself a ring box like the one I have below. Another one wants one. Basically, it’s something that you don’t realize you need until you have those very special pieces of jewelry, especially if you’re traveling. The cookbook I have below is actually inspired by a gift I gave- a Texas bride married a Yankee chef, so I sent them a traditional southern cookbook to bring them together. I was at a loss of what to get them for a long time and I found that and it hit me. It got to them late, but less than 6 months out from the date of their wedding, which is permissible, etiquette-wise. (I looked this up- after a year, you can still send a wedding gift, just call it something else!)
