Odds and Ends Wedding Accessories and Gifts

Although many will never take notice to these remaining details, accessories for the wedding should be part of your 'things to do' list.

A guestbook and a pen are simple items that can easily be overlooked and yet is a necessity. Place card holders with guest name tags for the reception should be added to your list too. You will also need 'Thank you' cards to send out afterwards when you return from your honeymoon.

During the reception, do not forget personal flutes or wine glasses for the toasts. You can create a lifelong tradition and toast each other with them on your anniversary each year.

A silver knife and spatula to cut the cake will come in handy and perhaps something to hold wrapped pieces of the wedding cake to send home with the guests.

Gifts for your entire wedding party should never be a big production. Keep in mind, that whatever your budget, you can find something that expresses your love and appreciation for each member of your bridal party.
