Any good ideas for a collective gift to the bride from her bridal party?
absoluteangel721 asked:
My best friend is getting married in May. Her bridal shower is at the end of March. I’m trying to think of an original, fun gift that we, the bridal party, can present at her shower as a group.
Also, the bridal party is composed of 5 girls - 1 being out of state and 1 being the groom’s 16 year old sister.

A really great thing my sister did was take us all for a spa treatment - the works, massage, facial etc before the wedding so all of us could hang out (wedding plan free) and relax together.
I don’t know if you want a gift you can unwrap or something different, but this might be an idea.
All the guys on my husbands job pitched in and bought the boss meat for a year from the scwanns guy. That might be something a new bride would need/like
Ask he fiance if they have anything that they wanted at there wedding that they couldn’t afford. Possibly then by pooling all the money together, you may be able to afford a treat that they really wanted for there wedding. Good luck
Is there something she really loves to do? Like cook? You could pick a large number of her kitchen registry items and arrange them in a beautiful basket. Or a large cookware set?
Where are they going to the Honeymoon? Maybe some attire (day and night wear), books on the area, a camera, etc
Maybe a beginning scrapbook set, for all the new memories!
What does your best friend love more than anything? I am sure if she is anything like I was, she has gone on and on about something she would love to have in her home, love to do before she gets married, or love to have at her wedding. Listen to the bride and think about past conversations. She’s your best friend- I am sure she has mentioned something at some point.
If she has something big on her registry, I would get that as her group gift. You already know she wants it and no one may be the high end items.
If there is nothing high end on the registry, I would get her something for the honeymoon- like a gift card to a fancy resturant where they are honeymooning or a pre-paid day trip or a couple’s day at the spa where they are staying.
Of course, a group gift is great, but consider eveyone involved when it comes to the amount. If they are going somewhere for a honeymoon, find a certificate for a dinner nearby, or find out who the travel agent is and put money towards their honeymoon.
Here’s some suggestions . .
A day at the spa
A gift certificate at Victoria’s Secret
Get five pieces of a matching cookware set
A complete set of luxurious bath towels and divide the cost five ways
A small flat screen TV for their bedroom or kitchen
A portable DVD player
One place setting of their china and divide it five ways
Five pieces of the Bride’s stemware (from the wedding registry)
Five items to take on the honeymoon (his and her bathing suits, towels, books to read, sunglasses, bathing suit covers, sun block, digital camera, cosmetic bags, carry-all bags, passport cover, camera film, silk underwear, matching T-shirts)
Cooking classes
A good set of bed sheets with matching coverlet or bedspread or comforter
A gift certificate to the Bride and Groom’s favorite home decorating store (for wall hangings, pillows, decorative items, lamps, etc)
Five gift certificates to five different restaurants
A gift certificate to an electronics store that can be applied to the purchase of a new or upgrade in computer software/hardware or music or movies
Spending money for their honeymoon (each person contributes what they can afford or what they would spend on a gift)
Five bottles of champagne or white wine or red wine or a combination of these
