I am really struggling with gift ideas for my 2 best friends who are coming down for my wedding in the Dominican Republic.  I am not having bridesmaids but they are the closest thing to it.  I have known these girls for most of my life; they knew my Dad before he passed away and ran the last 10 miles of my last marathon with me when I was having a hard time - they are my family.  My wedding is coming up soon, May 27th and I still haven' thought of anything yet.  If anyone has any suggestion that would be awesome!

 

I don't want to get anything monogrammed, or pretty much anything that you would typically get for a bridesmaid.  I just feel like I have so much going on right now that I can't thingk clearly about this :P

 

Thanks so much for the help!!!!

I'm not sure what non typical gift you could get them that wouldn't be a typical gift for their bday or holiday. But, what about making them both a scrapbook with all your memories from when you met up until your big day? Go to like Michaels and buy a scarpbook and just start cutting out pictures of the 3 of you and adding stickers and quotes and you will fill it up in no time. You will have to make two of them since you have two close friends. This is very personal and not a "typical" gift. But if you want to add more to the gift then just a photo album/scrapbook, you can also treat them to a spa day on the beach on DR.... 

 

Just some thoughts of what I would think would be very thoughtful and better than monogrammed items as a gift. =)

One of my favorite presents I've ever received is a silver frame from my sister engraved with "sisters by chance, friends by choice", and then she put a picture of us in it.  I don't know how unique it is, but it was very special.  Maybe you could do something like that, and then have a photo taken at the wedding of the three of you?  That is all I can think of right now, but I thought I'd pass it along.  Good luck!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
