T-Shirts and Gifts for Wedding Attendants: When More Than One Gift is Required

It does happen, especially in either really small or really large weddings where it is appropriate to present more than one gift to a best man or maid of honor. This could become necessary in a few situations: (1) the wedding planning was really grueling, the event huge and the best man and matron of honor were wearing many hats and going above and beyond the call of duty to get everything done; (2) the bride doesn’t have a mother so the life long friend, who is also the maid of honor basically did everything along side the bride, to make sure the wedding day was picture perfect; (3) the groom is out of town during wedding planning and the local best man and groomsmen are assigned many additional wedding tasks that would not be customarily asked of them.

These are just a few examples of unique situations that would warrant more than one gift and certainly scenarios when T-shirts and gifts T-shirts and gifts for wedding attendants would be required on more than one occasion. It may be appropriate for the bride to give one gift to the maid of honor in private and then give the entire wedding party their T-shirts and other gifts the night before the wedding. Same can be said for the groom with the best man and the groomsmen.

If you are planning on giving everyone a  wedding style T-shirt, then perhaps something more personal for the best man or maid of honor is in order. Consider something practical and useful, but at the same time beautiful and personalized. For the busy executive, male or female, how about a monogrammed flip top business card holder or a silver plated double photo frame with “now and then” photos of the two of you? Choose one picture from when you and your best man or maid of honor were kids or college students together, and then choose a second picture of the two of you together more recently – perhaps planning the wedding. Either of these would be extremely appreciated and poignant for the gift recipient.

A wine set in silver plate, or a personalized key chain or fob would also make an excellent special gift for your best man or matron of honor.

Of course, when you are giving gifts to your entire wedding party, the T-shirt transfers are such fun. You can press them onto tees that match the theme colors of your wedding and your wedding party can wear them around the day before or the day of the wedding. Fun T-shirts that say “Best Man”, “Groomsman”, “Maid of Honor”, “Bridesmaid”, “Flower Girl”, and “Ring Bearer” are always warmly received.

If you want to make these gifts extra special, use a permanent fine point fabric marker, to add your special comments on the back or add their name to the sleeve. Don’t be afraid to make the t-shirts and gifts for wedding attendants personalized and functionally fun!
