I am getting married in June and my fiancee and I are only have a maid of honor and a best man. We are not having anyone else stand up for our wedding and we are having a hard time thinking of gifts to give them for the wedding. You know how the couple always gives the people who stand up for them little gifts. Well....i have no ideas what so ever....can anyone give me some idea that you have gotten or seen? Thanks so much!!!

I'm getting married in June too, but we're not having anyone else at our ceremony. Only the two of us. Anyway, you can go to theknot.com and they have lots of gift ideas on there. Congrats!

I had a small wedding, too. I have my matron of honor the jewelry she wore during the wedding and a small gift basket with stuff from Bath and Body Works. I had her hair done on the day of the wedding.
Give them a gift that shows your connection. My best friend loves jewelry and so giving her the jewelry for the wedding was a perfect idea.

I was a maid of honor for my friend's wedding last march. She gave me an inexpensive (notice, I say inexpensive, not "cheap") set of earrings and necklace. They were beautiful and will last me a long time. The best man at this wedding particularly enjoyed martinis, so they got him a set of glasses with a shaker and bottle of vodka. I've also seen many groomsmen that got cufflinks, nice money clips... Almost any jewelry works, especially if you get it from someplace like "Things Remembered" that will engrave it for you. Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

You can always go the traditional route. Give the maid of honor something like a piece of jewelry, maybe something engraved with her initials or something that will match her dress on your wedding day. Give the best man a flask, a money clip, a watch, or cuff links, usually engraved. I personally like the more personal route, expecially since these are probably your best friends. Maybe get them something that reminds them of your friendship or your past, something like that. Although engraved keychains are nice too.

What I would do is go to a store like, "Things Remembered" and get say for the brides maid of honor, a necklace with her initals engraved on it, and for the guy, a clock or something. Just get it personalized. That way they can keep it and it will make them feel special.

I am getting married in September and I am getting my girls- tote bags, note cards(stationery) a necklace that I made, a facial pack that I found, a black leather jewelry box, watches, and their dresses. I got the guys a mug with their name on it, a Zippo Lighter, and I am getting them a large bottle of alcohol a piece, and we may pay for their shoes.
I know the things I got the girls they will use and the guys will use the lighters and drink the alcohol, the mugs may go on a shelf, but it is cool!
try to think of something they like! Pay for their hair do or a pedicure and manicure for the day of!
Good luck!

The weddings that I have been in us girls were given the jewelry to wear in the wedding and the shoes. As for the guys, when I was in my brothers wedding they got the guys engraved beer mugs and they used those for the wedding party table at the reception. Good luck.

We didn't give gifts for our best man & bridesmaid. I believe the reason it didn't even come to mind, is because we travelled back home to get married, for them. We considered that a gift in itself.
Our best man was my husband's father. My bridesmaid was my sister.

You could get the people who stand up for you a bracelet with a charm on it commemorating the wedding and the guy could get each one for him a money clip.
