Know Your Budget

Of course, you’d want to give the people who were there for you something precious and remarkable, but that depends on your budget. The thank-you gift should be included as part of your wedding day budget. If you’re having a humble celebration with friends and family, then your gifts to your bridesmaids and groomsmen should be proportional to your overall budget. Something as simple as a thank you token, a coupon, or a voucher to one of their favorite stores is satisfactory and will serve the purpose. However, if you’re throwing a fancy and luxurious five-star wedding then your gifts should be up to the standard. It’s important to set a budget for your gifts that is comparable to the level and worth of your celebration. In this case, a more sophisticated gift will reflect your thoughtfulness and will complement their generosity and reverse yours as well.
