Wedding Favors

You want to give your wedding guests a gift that’s just right, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money. We’ve got cheap wedding favors that don’t lack for quality. Whether you’re looking for personalized favors or simple ones, we’ve got wedding favors you and your guests will absolutely adore.

The best way to make your favors unique is to include the names of the couple as well as the wedding date somewhere on the favor. The great thing about wedding favors is that they come in such a vast range of different items, and virtually all of these items can include monograms. One very popular favor idea continues to be chocolates, with the original twist coming in the way that the chocolates are packaged. Packaging, in fact, continues to be the way in which most wedding favors convey the sense of originality, whether small gift boxes or bags are used to encase the present. Miniature items to consider include sets of teaspoons, tiny monogrammed bottles of champagne, paper weights, and coaster. Some couple may also choose to use small cameras as favors, so that the guests have a gift and can also contribute to the memories!

Groomsmen Gifts

Grooms rejoice! Buying gifts for the guys in your wedding party couldn't be any easier than it is with Gifts and Otherwise. We have all the groomsmen gifts guys love, from engraved money clips to personalized beer mugs, cuff links and even golf gifts — many of them can be personalized for free!

Traditional gifts for the groomsmen include bar ware (such as pint glasses, wine glasses, sets, and cocktail shakers), money clips, flasks, and the like. Some more modern twists include sportswear and sports gear, such as pennants and bats. Because the groom and his attendants so often share the same interests, it might be a good idea to give a gift that they can all use during their favorite pastimes, such as golf gear or paintball accessories. Tool kits are also a great idea for the groomsmen. In all cases, the gifts should be personalized by adding an engraving as well as a thank you note and the date of the wedding.

Bridesmaid Gifts

Buying bridesmaids gifts for your bridesmaids as a memento and a thank you for your wedding is a fairly easy task. First of all, remember that it is expected that each of your attendants will receive the same gift (the difference, of course, will be in the personalization). The one exception is the maid of honor, who will usually receive a gift that is different from everyone else's. The second thing to remember when looking for the right gift to give to your attendants is that the same type of gift has remained popular throughout modern wedding history.

Make Your Gifts Unique

But Gifts and Otherwise isn’t just for wedding stuff! We have unique gifts for every occasion, from birthdays to holidays and even anniversaries. Whether you’re looking for the perfect personalized gift or some handmade jewelry, we’ve got it all and more.

As the gifts get less general in nature, brides and grooms may want to consider personalizing the items to specific individuals. This can add a great touch to the gifts for members of the wedding party as well as officiators and masters of ceremony. Personalized gifts for these individuals are usually engraved, and should include not only the names of the couple and the date but also the name of the individual to whom the gift is given and a brief thank-you. Just make sure that you are spelling the name correctly before asking the vendor for the service!

Children's Gifts

Many wedding parties include children in the form of a ringbearer and/or flower girl, sometimes more than one of each! Personalized children's gifts are often given to each of the kids as a way of thanking them for participating in the bride & groom's special day.
