There is an underlying secret that will make or break your wedding day…. the happiness of your bridesmaids.

After spending months of helping you to make wedding decisions with your wedding planner and trying on unflattering dresses and many years of keeping you sane, it is time to reward the ladies that has stuck by you through the good, the bad, and the ugly. And, to recognize the women that will stand up for you during the most important day of your life.

Instead of the Day at the Spa or other traditional and sometimes informal ways of acknowledging your bridesmaids, try some of these “alluring” and inexpensive ideas to keep the bridesmaids happy while planning your wedding and a nice way to “Say Thank You.”

1. Storybook Mementos:
Create a book filled with a chapter specifically dedicated to each of your bridesmaids that are full of fun, jokes, pictures, and insiders’ information that only your strong bonds can decode.

Go to any arts and craft store and buy a picture perfect notebook and decorate it with beads, paint, whatever your creative genes imagine. Then, create the book that tells the story about your friendship. This book will be kept forever and a great way to let your bridesmaids know that you value their friendship.

2. Bridesmaids Centerpiece:
This is a fantastic way to show your bridesmaids that you are best friends forever as you are recognizing them at your wedding.

3. Friends Who Sing Together, Stay Together:
Have a great time with your bridesmaids by having a Karaoke Fest. These tapes and memories will be forever remembered by all.

Simply, get a tape recorder, a microphone, a cassette tape, and maybe some food and drinks, and have fun singing your little hearts out. This is another great memento that will be cherished by your bridesmaids.

4. Unforgettable Gem:
You have chosen these women to be a part of your day because they are precious people in your life.

Make an unforgettable purchase of a necklace that contains the gem representing the month of your wedding and ask them to wear it on your wedding day. Not only does this show unity, but it is a great keepsake for your bridesmaids and a nice way to say thank you.
