Bridal Parties

The bridal party is made up of the maid of honor (matron of honor for married women), bridesmaids, and flower girls. The souvenirs that they get for being part of the wedding entourage are called bridal party favors. These can be one of so many thing that a wedding planner or the bride herself has to take care of, during the planning period. To choose these, you simply have to look at your budget, your wedding theme, and your style. You can choose to go for elaborate wedding souvenirs for your your entourage or if the budget is quite tight, you can go for simpler wedding favors. The point is that the souvenirs should be something that the members of the bridal party would be able to cherish, something to give them that lasting memory of participating in your wedding.

There are plenty of wedding party favors that you can give to your bridal party. The possibilities are almost endless. You can have pictures taken of you and your maid of honor, bridesmaid and flower girls and have these pictures framed. You can then wrap these pictures onto special wrapping papers (even fabric will do) and write a special note of thanks to them. You can also have this picture printed on a bag and even place a special message on each one.

You can have a personalized picture album made to put pictures of the bridal party in. These wedding favors can document the times that you had during the planning sessions, the practices, the ceremony itself, and the reception.

If you are not into personalizing the wedding party souvenirs, you can go for the simpler ones instead. You may choose to give them a nice bracelet that stands for the bond that you as the bride shares with all of them. You can also give them pretty handbags so that they can wear these any time they want to. Some brides even give away pajamas or embroidered silk handkerchiefs that have the names of her bridesmaids.

The bridal party would have young people in it, namely the flower girls. The best bridal party favour for these would be special books on being a flower girl or even a personalized bracelet, locket, shirt, or jewelry box.
