Giving THANKS!
| By Carla ~ November 23rd, 2009 ~ Wedding Planning | Comments Off |
The Holidays of 2009 are speedily approaching!! Christmas trees and other festive decorations are all up in stores already, and as usual, Thanksgiving has not even arrived yet! Often times Thanksgiving does not receive enough attention as it rightly should. Thanksgiving is a time of thanks, family, and food! Just like too many times in life we forget to give thanks for the many blessings we have; we overlook the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Celebrating your wedding near the Thanksgiving holiday is a wonderful idea. It actually use to be quite popular for weddings to take place just before or a little after Thanksgiving. Since Thanksgiving is a holiday where family all comes together in celebration, it is a great opportunity to plan your wedding while all your family is already all together.
Even if you are not planning a Thanksgiving wedding, like I said earlier, Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks. Of course, your wedding would not have been possible without the help and support of so many family and friends and it is important to remember thank each and every one of them.
First off, your bridesmaids! Usually your bestest friends, these girls have supported you through all of the wedding madness, and usually have stood by your side during the high school and college years. Make sure your gift to
them is something special. Maybe treat them to a fun spa day or you can put together a cute gift basket filled with all kinds of girly items such as chocolate, gift cards, and candles. You can buy each of them the matching jewelry that you would like them to wear on the big day and maybe have cute tote bags created so that the girls will have something convenient to carry all of their belongings from place to place on your wedding.
Now for the boys. For the groomsmen, cuff links, beer mugs, or any kind of golf accessories all make for perfect gifts. Next, you have your flower girl and ring bearer. For the flower girl, a small tote bag that is customized for her to use on your wedding will make her feel so important and she will love it. For the ring bearer, you can get ideas of fun toys he will like from his parents.
So this Thanksgiving, if you’re celebrating your wedding or not, remember to give a big thank you to everything and everyone in your life!
