Hey ladies...first off, congrats on your upcoming weddings--I hope you all enjoy your days to the fullest extent possible! I am in a bridal party in a few months and we are trying to figure out a good shower gift to give from all of us. She is a good friend who has been through a lot so I am hoping you girls will be able to tell me which of the following choices you would like the best or provide an alternate suggestion.
The choices we have come up with: 1) her china: service for 12 2) a gift certificate to her travel agent which will pay for a decent chunk of her honeymoon plus a gift basket with all types of honeymoon goods 3) a minimoon: they are going on their honeymoon 2 months after their wedding and she said they don't have $ to go away for the weekend after their wedding (getting married on a Friday night) we spoke of getting them a room in the city, or in montauk, or somewhere somewhat local but romantic 4) 20 bottle wine fridge (custom made--one of the bm's father owns a company who makes them) fully stocked with all different types of wine (they are avid wine drinkers) 5) gc for dance lessons (something she wants) and a gc for BBB to get stuff she didn't get for her shower
Please provide any suggestions you can think of!!! Thanks so much girls

I think they're all great ideas, but I think the mini-moon is a wonderful idea and would be VERY much appreciated by the bride and groom.

all of these ideas sound great and are very thoughtful of you guys!!!!!!!!!! If it were me I would love the minimoon because i'm sure they would love to do something right after the wedding. They will still have their honeymoon to look forward to but they will also have these wonderful memories and have 2 honeymoons in a way. I think they are all very generous no matter what u choose! She has great friends!

These ideas are all wonderful.....what great friends to do this for your friend who is getting married...that's so nice of you guys.....I definitely would either say the minimoon or the honeymoon gift card.....if they aren't going away after their wedding for two months, then I would say the minimoon...they deserve some time to celebrate for themselves and what a perfect way to do so Good luck making your decision...don't think you could go wrong with either of them!

You girls are so thoughtful!!!
I like all of the ideas but I voted for the minimoon bc I think it's more special to them. The other stuff isn't really unique to them from you, meaning that it would or could be gotten from others anyway. The minimoon is a FANTASTIC idea!!!!!!! Very special!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Bridal party gift help to bride...with poll
wow, great ideas but im in total agreement, i think that miniroom for right after they get married is amazing and should be soooooo appreciated.
how about a nice room in the city and a show or gift certificate to an amazing restaurant.
i think ac and places like that are nice but i always think to myself that i never get to do something in my own hometime cuz i always want to 'get away' but i would LOVE to stay at some posh nyc hotel and have dinner and if a show fit in with the budget as well, all the better.
recently stayed at a suite at the w in times square for a bachlorette and it was sooooo nice. very modern and upscale but for a minimoon, i personally would want something more romantic and there are a ton of super romantic suites you could get.
