With most brides, the prospect of finding or creating the perfect personalized bridesmaid gift can be daunting. All of us cannot be Martha Stewart and create handpicked, gold-trimmed fig leaves with a monogram made out of wet rice noodles. So this is for the future brides that live in the real world and have modest budgets. The following tips from Morgan & Company, a business specializing in personalized gifts for two decades, can help a bride find a personalized bridesmaid gift to fit any budget.
First and foremost, you need to determine the interests of your bridesmaids….are they athletic, funny, love shopping or all of the above? Personalized Bridesmaids gifts with the bridesmaid’s name or monogram say that you cared enough to take the time to find a gift that was unique and made just for them. Also, a practical gift will be better received
than a gift that will never see the light of day after the wedding is over. You may choose a personalized picture frame for that special wedding photo of you and your “maids”. Give the music lover a monogrammed wood CD box. The coffee drinker will appreciate a personalized coffee mug. The reader will love the personalized bookmark. Most all bridesmaids love monogrammed bags and most especially monogrammed jewelry. Monogrammed bags and jewelry make excellent gifts as they can be put to use long after the ceremony had ended. More times than not, groomsmen gifts usually fall under the bride’s responsibility as well. Monogrammed hip flasks or sterling cuff links are always big hits with the guys. For the avid sportsman, a laser engraved wood bat makes a unique and cherished gift. Practical groomsman gifts include engraved pocket knives, keychains, golf divot tools, beer mugs, koozies and money clips.
Personalized bridal gifts take a little more thought, but they are worth the extra effort. Before the big day begins, let your bridesmaids know how much you care with gifts created just for them.

monogrammed wood tray
In today’s retail environment, personalization has become prevalent in almost every product category including apparel, jewelry, handbags, home décor and gifts. Personalized or monogrammed gifts add a special touch to any gift and any gift-giving situation weather holidays, birthdays, weddings or everyday. What makes a personalized gift different?
Personalization makes your gift standout from the crowd. By adding a monogram to a handbag, you have now created a one-of-a-kind monogrammed bag that no one else will have. While a friend may have the same style bag, the unique monogram sets your gift apart from the crowd.
- Choice of personalization styles and colors.
In most cases, not only do you have the option of personalization but also the choice of 5-10 different fonts and you have the option of 15-20 thread colors with embroidery. Sterling silver jewelry may be monogrammed using a diamond tipped needle to etch the initials into the surface of the silver while a laser is used to cut into the surface of monogrammed wood jewelry.
- Wide selection of products.
Today there are not many items that cannot be personalized. From ipods to acrylic trays, there are companies that have found a way to make that item uniquely your own. Even large retailers, such as Pottery Barn and Saks, begun offering monogrammed items.
- Monogramming is not a trend.
We get the question over and over again, “Is this monogramming thing just a trend?”. The answer is an resounding no! Placing monograms on items has been around since the Roman Empire when a monogram was used to mark coins. In the 1500’s, the English royalty used monograms to show ownership of land or personal items. Today it has evolved to the point that anyone can have their items monogrammed showing pride of ownership.
By giving a monogrammed gift, you have to go above and beyond the call of duty. First, you need to know the person’s full name and you will need to allow 1-2 weeks for personalization and delivery. Even if the retailer offers on-site personalization, it’s very rare for them to offer same-day service so you have to plan ahead.
The saying “it’s the thought that counts” never applied more than it does when you take the time to add that personal touch to any gift. For more information on monogramming or monogrammed gifts visit us at morgan-company.com.
