Wanting to get a special gift for the bride on her upcoming wedding day, but unsure which direction to go?
While there are many non-physical gift items that a bride might appreciate, such as gift certificates to her favorite spa, tickets to an upcoming show that she’s a fan of, etc… we think that on her wedding day, handing her something more than a piece of paper just feels better. Plus, it won’t get lost in the scuffle of a busy day!
Depending on your relationship, there are many gifts ideas for things she might need or want that didn’t make it on the registry, so read on to get some inspiration flowing.
Whatever you end up choosing, make sure it’s thoughtful, unique, and special to your relationship. You know her so well, so make sure her day is extra special with a gift from you, her dear friend.
