Ladies,
My inner circle (close family members and friends) are going out with the me the day before the engagment party to try on dresses for me and the bridesmaids. We have a whole day planned with breakfast, shopping, and then setting up for the party. These are my core friends and family. I am sure that they will put the most energy and thought into this entire process. They've always been there and I would like to say thank you somehow up front. Can anyone think of anything sweet and memorable that I can hand out at breakfast on the morning of my engagement party. I would like to thank them in some way.

Southern, give your friends something that will remind them of the time when you first met or things you did together over the years, something perferable made by you so it will truly be memorable, Like college photos of the whole gang with a handmade frame with stuff from your school. For your family members, you can check out the hottest hallmarks or bookstores that will help you with something like..."not losing a family member but gaining one"...something of that nature if you know what I mean. I've seen something before that you can give your mom...it's like a metal family tree that you can give her, where you insert photos of the family, you and the husband-to-be while leaving spaces for the babies that will come. My sister once gave me a wind chim that I have hanging on my front door that reminds me of her everytime I open and close it and it has a beautiful inscription about sisters on it. There are a lot of beautiful sentimal things that you can find at any bookstore or novelty store, just take your time and look, they will love and cherish them.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Thanks! I love the windchime idea!!!
I like simple elegant and unusual things. A day spa gift from SpaWish.com . Engraved crystal paperweights with their names and your wedding date. There is a tealight vase candle at hansonellis that I just love. Consider spa

Rosetta I like the spa idea, someone like me who has never been to a spa, receiving a gift like this would be extremely wonderful and what you do Southern is inform the spa of the person/s coming so they can call them by name, that'll add an extra touch to it...nothing is nicer to a person than the sound of ones' own name. :-)

Great ideas! We're meeting to go looking for dresses and then to put up the decorations for the engagement party that evening. It's going to be a day long affair. So, I wanted to pack a little "travel bag" for the ladies. I've decided to get a small, shiny bag and put little things in there they may need. I'm going to fill it with tissue paper and then add, fresh baked banana loaf bread, juice, Tylenol (women always get head aches for one reason or another), small pack of tissue, and a rose. I found a rubber stamp with friends are forever written in characters to stamp on the bag. I'm going to tie the white bag with the black characters with a big red satin bow on top. I'll give each lady a "travel bag" at our breakfast that morning. What do you think? Any other items to put in or take out of the bag?
SouthernThoughts I like the travel bag idea. Your family/friends will appreciate you for the thought and effort that you put into letting them know that you appreciate them. All the best!

Hi SouthernThoughts I found something that I think you could possibly include in your travel bags. It is located on this site a personalized sewing kit. It can be personalized with you and your sweetie's wedding date. It is item #WAK9008P and is located on this site --if you plug in the item number it will come up. Any way I thought you would like to check it out -- all the best!

Hi Charlotte, I'm not too computer saavy myself. If you go to the ViBride Homepage, under the Main Menu section, click on "Bridal Accessories" and put in the product number WAK9008P, it should come up. I don't know how to put link on the screen -- sorry, but I'm sure this will bring the item up. Good luck!
