Bridal Shower Gift Idea?

Hello All,

I was invited to my BF's sister's bridal shower which is in a few weeks. I already ordered a frame for her with her and her hubby-to-be's name engraved on it but I think this may be too small a gift. I don't know what else to get her? I was thinking of making her a small gift basket. I know she likes candles (per her mom) but too many candles will make the basket too heavy and may damage it with the weight.

Any ideas will be appreciated. I will really like to get some ideas from recent brides and brides to be.

Thanks in advance,
Brown Eyed Girl

BTW, I already have something to give her from her registry. I will take it to the reception because I don't want to arrive empty-handed.
Thanks to everyone who's answered so far. I don't want to overdo it either.

Well first I am thinking that the recertion is mainly for money! I've never went to a wedding where I seen a gift. Even if you give 50 if you're not with a date then thats good. I think the frame is great by itself. I would put maby some candels in the bag! Maby some wine tags or a bottle of wine. You dont want to spend much becasuse its you're sisters bff. You will be fine getting away with that you're giving. I would not bring the gift to the reception she does the registry for the shower!Good luck

Unique Wedding Favors - Seven Ideas Your Guests Will Love!

With so many weddings to attend over a lifetime, when it's your turn to get married the desire to create unique experience for you and your guests can be strong --you want people to remember your special day, and to take home a wedding favor that is unique and special.

More and more brides recognize that wedding favors can be special and beautiful AND enjoyed by guests in their own homes (as opposed to being either disposable or something which will gather dust on some upper shelf...).

Here are seven ideas you may not have thought of:

1. Beautiful pens engraved with your wedding date or a special message, such as 'Love is Forever.' This allows for a unique and special as well as useful present that people will appreciate in the years to come, and won't get lost or forgotten.
2. Potted flowers and plants: Give the gift of fresh greenery and flowers. Not only will your wedding be extra beautiful because of all the foliage, each guest will have something beautiful and practical to take home and decorate with, and remember your day fondly.
3. Simple cream vases with flowers in them. Rather than having something that matches your wedding colors, you may consider having a neutral, classic vase or container that will complement every guest's home, so they can enjoy the flowers you send with them as well as their own selections in years to come.
4. Beautiful paper: Many stationery stores will carry a lovely selection of unique and beautiful paper gift sets. Rather than having your own names engraved on them (because then no one would be able to use them!), a beautifully boxed sheaf of pretty paper speaks for itself and will be remembered as a special and unique wedding favor.
5. Hurricane vases with a candle: You may have seen this before but it's such a classy and beautiful gift that it warrants being on this list. One chunky candle that matches your wedding colors in a glass vase makes a simple and elegant favour for your guests. Later they can replace the candle, add river rocks, or decorate with it as they see fit, because the vase is simple and will match anyone's décor.
6. A ringholder, tray or little jewellery case, if simple and classic, can be a nice addition to anyone's bedroom dresser, and is something people would not usually buy for themselves.
7. A book, perhaps one about love or a historical book about your city. A quality book is something people will keep and enjoy for years to come and is definitely a unique and special favor they will remember you for.
