Wonderful Gifts for the Bride-to-Be

By Autumn Lockwood


The time before the wedding is such a special time for the bride-to-be. It can also be a very fun time if you are a friend of the bride-to-be, and you want to shop for a present for the wedding or a bridal shower. Giving a gift to the bride will let her know how much you care about her and will make the time before the wedding so much more memorable. These days the bride is probably registered at a number of stores, so checking out her registries is a great way of discovering what she might want for a present. But, you can use your imagination and give her something that she might really love, but is not on her registry. Here are some good ideas for a gift for bride-to-be.

Great Honeymoon Gifts

It is lots of fun to give the bride a gift that can be used on the honeymoon. Finding out where the honeymoon will be and then giving a travel guide for that destination is a fun gift. She will always enjoy a scrapbook that is specifically intended for photos and mementos of the honeymoon. A couple of beautiful or fun photo frames make a wonderful prewedding gift. If you know that the bride does not yet own a digital camera, what a special surprise gift one would be. Then she can take pictures of all of the pre-wedding preparations, the shower, and the honeymoon.

A Scrapbook for the Engagement and Wedding

You can create a cherished gift for the bride-to-be if you are close enough to be included in some of the pre-wedding festivities. Take your camera along and take a lot of pictures, then compile them into a memorable scrapbook as a wedding gift. Leave the last few pages empty so she can add her own photos of the wedding, reception, and honeymoon. If you are friends of the groom, then compile a scrapbook for the bride of photos that include him when he was growing up as well as his family. The bride is sure to appreciate having insite to his growing-up years. You can also take some of his childhood photos and place them into picture frames. This is a gift that would be very much appreciated.

Giving the Gift of Relaxation

As fun as the wedding planning and preparation can be, it can also add a lot of stress to the life of the bride. A terrific gift to her would be a gift certificate to her favorite hair salon, nail salon, or spa. You might also consider making her a gift certificate booklet, and include coupons for things that you might be able to help her with before the wedding.
