I feel like day-of wedding gifts is one of the easiest pieces of the wedding puzzle to forget. Mostly because no one will remind you of it, because it’s optional and mom probably won’t be like “don’t forget to give me a gift!” It’s also something that you don’t have to look into until later on in the planning process that can easily be overshadowed by trying to remember to pay the remainder to your vendors and all the other big things that make or break a smooth wedding.
That being said, it’s definitely a sweet tradition and something that shows your gratitude to your loved ones that sacrificed so much time and money to celebrate your fiancé and you.
If there is someone or multiple people paying for your wedding (or even just contributing to it), I would definitely add them to the top of your list. From there, you can just check out the list below for the usual list of people that are given gifts and just adjust accordingly. I made sure to add gift ideas for you to shop directly from this post as well.
Also, I feel like your mom but I have to add: don’t forget the thank you card. A heartfelt message telling that person why you wanted them a part of your wedding goes along way in expressing gratitude.
1. Mom
2. Dad
3. Bridesmaids
If you know you want to get the girls outfits to get ready in, I did a full post on that with different options + easy-to-shop links. Check that out here.
4. Groomsmen
5. Mother of Groom
6. Father of the groom
7. Each other
8. Flower girl
9. Ring Bearer
10 Vendors
I also wanted to mention that this can be something you save for after the wedding. You can mail them thank you cards and/or gifts. They won’t be expecting anything day-of, but if you manage to get it together for that day, I don’t see why you wouldn’t just treat them then!
