We have two of our cousins doing readings during the ceremony and two other cousins presenting the gifts (host & wine). Does anyone have any present sugestions to thank them for being part of our day?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Our godparents are bringing up the gifts and we have two aunts doing readings. At our RD, to thank them we are going to give them a picture frame and then at the wedding have the photographer take our picture with each of them and give the picture to them too.

We were going to get them in Things Remembered, so that if we decided to have them engraved we could.

Re: Gift Suggestions??
At my wedding, I gave our readers sterling silver bookmarks w/their initial engraved on them. They were about $50/each before engraving. For my aunt and uncle, who were also a part of our ceremony, I gave them a silver heart-shaped keychain that separated into two halves, so they each could use it. I also had their initial engraved on it.
I was recently a reader in Michele31's wedding, and she gave me a Coach mini picture frame keyfob.

My bookmark from Claud (I was one of her readers) is beautiful. Claud is buying a new home and has a new baby so I figured a new keychain was perfect. If they love wine, you can also do a wine bottle and wine charms. I think it all depends on their age and interests.

The wine and wine charm idea is cute. I think you can actually have custom wine labels made.

Hi Karen- Totally random and has nothing to do with anything you posted. But one of my bridesmaids is also getting married at Oheka Castle next year-- who did you use for videography and florist? She doesn't know who to use--- do they have a house florist? She said that, because of all the rooms, you have to use so many flowers-- it really adds up! It would be such a help to her. Thanks.

Re: Gift Suggestions??
Oheka recommends a bunch of different florists, but we are using a florist that my FI's sister used for her wedding in the Hamptons. I am not sure of their name. Your friend is right there are a lot of different rooms - but all the rooms are so beautiful you don't necessarily need to have a ton of flowers everywhere. We are having our centerpieces and then arrangements for the place card table and a few tables in the main foyer. For the cocktail hour I am just going to be having votive candles on all the little cocktail tables. We are using Mark David Videography - it is a friend of the family, not Oheka related. We are however using one of the recommended photographers - Creative Compositions. I really liked them!

I like the wine & charm idea For kids, I think I'd get them the picture frame and then give a picture to put in it later on.
