It’s customary to provide your wedding party with a small token of your appreciation for their participation in your wedding. Choosing the gifts was something that we struggled with.  the knot Wedding Shop was a great place to find common, popular gifts, almost all of which you can get personalized as well.

I got my bridesmaids a few personalized items from the wedding shop and we got the groomsmen personalized cufflinks. However, I still wasn’t satisfied. I wanted something more special and more personal. In the end, I came up with something I think a lot of my bridesmaids truly enjoyed: personalized photo books of the wedding.

After we received all our wedding photos, I started compiling photo books of the wedding day, recapping the days events. I personalized each one with photos of me with the specific bridesmaid and tried to include as many photos of that bridesmaid in the book as possible. I also did a dedication page in the beginning to each of them as well. They seemed really touched by this gesture and they all seemed to genuinely love the idea. I did all my photo books on Shutterfly. They are constantly having sales and deals, so if you’re a member you can be alerted to deals and purchased books during their sale.
