When people dream of their weddings, they usually picture themselves standing at the altar, surrounded by their closest family members and friends. Indeed, it is difficult to picture a wedding without bridesmaids or groomsmen. Who would seat the guests if not for the ushers? And a flower girl or ring bearer certainly adds a distinct charm to a wedding.

Most family and friends will be delighted to stand up in your wedding when you ask, and it is an honor to be invited to do so. It is also, however, a responsibility, and it is important for you, the couple, to recognize that you are asking these individuals not only to contribute their time and emotional support, but also to outlay a significant amount of money. Male attendants are usually required to rent their own formalwear, while female attendants most often must purchase theirs. While those who agree to be in your wedding have agreed to these responsibilities, it is only considerate for you, the couple, to recognize their contribution by giving them a small gift as a token of your appreciation.

While most couples spend an average of $20 to $50 on each of their attendants, there are many wonderful options for gifts whatever your budget is! We’ve prepared these pages to introduce you to some of the most popular items available for attendants today, as well as some ideas for gifts for other special people as well. The majority of the gifts listed may be purchased at The Wedding Centre.

A personalized gift is a sure way to make your attendants feel special! Many gifts can be engraved with a first name or initials, but why pay up to 50¢ per letter for engraving, plus a set-up fee like some places charge? When you purchase your engraveable gift at The Wedding Centre, you'll never pay for standard engraving, including laser engraving!

We’re sorry, but we are unable to engrave items purchased elsewhere. While rush orders can be accommodated, please try to allow at least two weeks for engraving. Engraved items MAY NOT be exchanged or returned under any circumstances.
