subject: Excellent Gifts For A Future Bride [print this page] From bridal shower gifts to wedding presents, to spur-of-the-moment presents, it can be quite enjoyable to go shopping for a future bride. As exciting and wonderful as being engaged and having a wedding is, this part of a woman's life can become even more pleasurable when you give her a thoughtful gift. The bride-to-be will probably be registered at a number of different stores, so you can certainly peruse these to locate things that you know she would like to get as a gift. But in addition, it's always exciting to give her a gift that you know she'll like but that is not necessarily on the registry. Here are a few great ideas that could be the ideal gift for the bride-to-be in your life.
Honeymoon Gifts
Finding a gift for a bride to use during her honeymoon vacation can be quite fun. If you have heard where the couple plans to go, a travel book for their honeymoon spot could be a present that would be much appreciated. A scrapbook designed to store photos and memories from their honeymoon could also be a great gift. Or maybe you could give her a few nice picture frames so that she will be able to put some of her favorite pictures from her honeymoon into frames when they get home. If your friend does not already own a digital camera, giving her one as a shower gift would be an unexpected but welcome gift. Not only can she use the camera on her honeymoon, but she can also use it to take pictures of her bridal shower as well as other wedding plans.
Engagement and Wedding Scrapbook
If the soon-to-be-bride is related or even a close friend, you can come up with a wonderful present without her even being aware of it. Just bring your camera with you to her pre-wedding parties and plans, taking pictures of the events and festivities. Then the only thing that left is to compile the pictures into the perfect scrapbook and then give it to her on her wedding day or later. Make sure you leave the last several pages empty so that she can add a few favorite photos from the wedding reception and honeymoon. If you are a relation or are a close friend of the groom, putting together a photo album or scrapbook containing photos of the groom while he was growing up along with photos of his family could make a unique gift that would be greatly appreciated. You could even place a few pictures of the groom as a small boy in picture frames as a special gift for his future wife.
The Gift of a Relaxing Getaway
Even though planning a wedding can be a lot of fun, it can also be quite stressful at times. A gift card to her favorite spa, hair salon or nail salon might be the perfect gift to help her loosen up and unwind. You might even make your own gift certificate booklet for her, including special coupons that she can turn in for things you might do to assist her with her wedding preparations.
Even though these gift suggestions are simple, your soon-to-be married friend is sure to enjoy them.
