Hi ladies!

So it's getting around that time where I need to start thinking of wedding party gifts, but I don't want to get the same ol same ol (totes, flasks, etc). So.... please shoot me your ideas of what would be awesome wedding party gifts! Something practical and unique!

Thanks ladies! I know you're all very creative so shoot me your thoughts!

I guess the "practicality" depends on what your wedding party is like. What kind of group do you have? Do the girls/guys have anything in common? It is nice to get all the boys the same thing and all the girls the same thing, but if you're guys and your gals are all very different from one another, then you might want to look into a personal, individual gift for each one of their individual personalities

For my wedding I bought the girls very nice authentic gemstone jewelry in a simple, elegant and flattering silver setting. It was meant for them to wear on my wedding day, and then wear whenever they wanted afte that and they all loved it! The guys received black Gerber folding pocket knives with their names engraved in the blades, and they also really liked them.

During my wedding, we gave out CDs of the band that was playing. We hired a really cool traditional Cuban son music band (like Bueno Vista Social Club). Their music was original and it was the type of stuff even if you aren't into, you would like to keep around because the music was very soothing.

A friend of mine made her own preserve and maple candy and party favors. Not something that keeps, but really delicious.

I was thinking of personalized blankets, with their initials on them (in the corner) with maybe the date on it and earrings and bracelet for the wedding day. For the guys, they all love hunting so we were thinking of getting them some shells and maybe something else (can't think of something right now).
