Bridal Gifts: Creative Ways to Relax on Your Wedding Day in New York Part 2

May 18, 2011

This is part 2 of our 2 part series on choosing gifts for your bridal party. For more suggestions on bridesmaids’ gifts, read part one here.

Creative Baskets
You know your bridesmaids’ tastes and the things they like and don’t like. Find elegant baskets from a local craft store, or shop and fill them up with some of their favorite scents. If one of the girls likes roses, create a basket stuffed with rose potpourri, rose scented candles, bar soap and body spray. Place fake roses in the basket for an extra touch. Your bridesmaids will feel special that you took the time to create a personalized basket tailored to each of them.

Ride in Style
A relaxing, reflective day with you and your bridesmaids is the perfect way to create a sense of calmness and just enjoy each other’s company before the big festivities. Offer to pay for the limo transportation on the day of the wedding in NYC so the girls can get dressed together and minimize wrinkling of their dresses.

Maybe you want to include taking everyone to the ceremony, from the ceremony to reception and then home after the reception. Ask your limo service in New York if you can save money with a pickup/drop off service only.

Choosing the right gift for your bridesmaids doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Just be creative and thoughtful. Your bridesmaids aren’t participating in your wedding to receive a gift; they are standing by your side because they love you.  Don’t fuss over the details. They know how much you appreciate them.

Bridal Gifts: Creative Ways to Relax on Your Wedding Day in New York Part 1

May 11, 2011

The sun is shining, the warm breeze is blowing, all the details are taken care of – it’s a perfect day for a wedding in New York City, and your bridesmaids are standing right next to you.

You want to make sure they know how thankful you are for all of their help. They’re close friends and family, so you don’t want to give them anything they won’t enjoy.

Here are a few suggestions:

Sparkling Jewelery
Weddings are all about creating beautiful lasting memories, so give your bridesmaids jewelery that have meaning. Heart-shaped Cubic Zirconia jewelry serves as a reminder that the day is a celebration of two people uniting in love. Or, you can opt for a tennis bracelet or necklace instead if some of the girls don’t wear earrings. With Cubic Zirconia stones instead of diamonds, you can buy bridesmaid jewelry that looks expensive, but is within your price range.

Comfortable Feet
When it comes to bridal shoes, you want them to be comfortable and special. Nice shoes can get expensive, so perhaps offer to purchase all your bridesmaids shoes. Not only will everyone match, but it will be a sweet gesture of your thanks.

A fun alternative to flat bridal shoes are personalized flip flops for the reception. It will be a relief for you and your bridesmaids to slip into stylish, comfortable flip flops embroidered with your names. Look for ones with cushy heels that were made to dance the night away.

This is part 1 of a 2 part series. Be sure to read part 2 for more wedding gift ideas for your bridesmaids.

Save on the Big Night: 5 Ways to Cut Prom and Expenses in New York

May 4, 2011
Prom is the last formal celebration of being a kid before the adult world comes knocking. It’s that one night of the year where girls get to feel like a princess and guys compete to be the best prince charming.Ask any high school boy, and chances are they will say prom costs so much money for just one night. In the past, guys were expected to pay for all the details except the girl’s gown. Expenses included the dance ticket, dinner, the flower corsage, tux rental and limo. All those expenses can add up fast (especially in the Big Apple aka New York City.)

Times are changing. It’s now more common for guys and gals to go as friends and split the cost of their ticket and limo rental.

Here are some tips to save money on the big night

1. Girls can do their own hair and nails. Practice with different hairstyles before the big night so you’re fully prepared the night of. Pick up a home manicure kit from your local Walgreens, or Wal-Mart. A french manicure will go with any colored gown. Make sure to put an extra clear top coat to avoid chipping.

2. If dinner isn’t included in the price of the ticket, find less expensive restaurants to dine at. Call ahead and ask if there are any special group rates for prom. Some restaurants will offer cheaper options for bigger parties.

3. Shop around and find the best deal on a limo or party bus. Most limousine companies will lower the price per person for the more people you have riding.

4. Girls can shop for gowns in their friends’ closets. See if any friends have dresses worn to other dances. Make a day out of it and play dress up. Prom dresses can get expensive. Add your own twist with accessories to make the dress unique to you.

5. Save money on expensive picture packages. Picture packages can get as high as $70! Go as a group to a nice gazebo in a local park, pretty flowered fields, or a waterfall. Have your parents take pictures of all you striking a pose.

Saving any money helps. Breaking the bank doesn’t have to happen. Prom is a once in a lifetime evening and the memories created will last a lifetime. You shouldn’t worry about prom and limo rental costs. You just worry about how you’re going to do performing the Electric Slide or Personal Jesus.
