It can be VERY stressful to pick out bridal party dresses. You want the girls to match the wedding theme and decor, be within budget, and be something that can be worn again in the future. Who wants to spend $400 on a dress to be a bridesmaid and have it sit in your closet for the rest of your life? No, thank you!

I found the perfect bridal party dresses. These are adorable!

What do you think? I like these because they can be worn again, are only $89.99 (which is practically unheard of when it comes to bridesmaid dresses), and they are super cute!

It’s normally a tradition for the bride and groom to get the bridal party gifts to thank them for being a part of the wedding on the night before the big day at the rehearsal dinner. With dresses this inexpensive, the gifts to the bridesmaids could be their dresses! You could offer to pay for them as a thank you for being in the wedding. Instead of giving the gift the night before the wedding, you could give it to them a couple of months before.

Many of my friends are just as much into wine as I am. It’s my favorite “adult” beverage, so I love that when we get together we share a hobby! It’s just like Cougar Town Who else watches that and LOVES it?!

Anyway, when I find anything to do with wine, I always share it with them. They loved this instant wine chiller and I do, too. This is great because you can serve wine that’s perfectly chilled at a minute’s notice. I usually keep mine on a wine rack in the dining room, so it’s nice to have the ability to have chilled wine instantly (and WITHOUT using ice cubes!)

This would make a great housewarming gift, wedding present, or birthday gift for those friends of yours that love wine as much as you do.

I came across a great idea for unique guestbook at a wedding. I love this idea because it is different than the regular signing of the book. This is just my opinion, but what do you do with the guestbook when the event is over? You probably look it over and read it once and then it goes in the storage room or collects dust on a shelf somewhere. This idea involves getting 5 wine bottles and a sharpie marker (silver or gold metallic works best on dark bottles, black works best on light bottles).  Each of the bottles is designated to be opened on the following anniversaries of the couple: one year, five years, ten years, fifteen years, and twenty years. The sharpies and bottles can be set out at the entrance of the wedding ceremony as well as the reception. Guests can pick one bottle to sign and include a message for the couple.

This can be a gift given to the bride at her shower (the wine bottles and the markers) and the couple can use it for their “guestbook.” You can also find places that make custom wine labels and make it personalized to the couple!

Last but not least, we’re at #1! This is a gift that they can cherish for a long time. It’s a wine box that is designed to show one box at a time when the anniversary comes around for bookmark years of first, fifth and tenth anniversary.

Almost done!!! This is a great gift, as long as a cheap activity that the couple can do together!
