Weddings are expensive! As the saying goes, it’s I do – but at what cost? If you’ve been invited to a wedding, and all the fun events leading up to it, your wallet might not be able to keep up. Or, perhaps money isn’t the issue – you just know your friend would appreciate a homemade bridal gift way more than anything you could ever find in the store. Making a homemade gift is thoughtful, kind, and budget-friendly. So, now that you’ve decided that you’ll make something homemade, you just need to decide what! Put your skills to work. Kitchen Confidential If you’re handy in the kitchen, then cooking something up for your pal will likely be your first thought. Cookies are sweet; and jams will last a while! Why not give her a few casseroles that she can pop in the freezer? Chances are, she’ll be super busy in the months leading up to the wedding, and a pre-made dinner could be a big help (not to mention a money saver!) Simply make double batches for a few weeks before the shower. Obviously, if you freeze the casseroles you won’t be able to wrap them and put them on the gift table, so give her a certificate and deliver them the next day. Other kitchen gifts could be a pre-planted herb garden or a homemade recipe book. Pro Services If you are a professional in some business that could help the bride-to-be with her wedding, consider gifting it to her for the big day! This could be your service as an esthetician, musician, photographer, or caterer. Of course, keep in mind that she may have already made plans for the wedding, so this gift might be better given in advance. Get Musical Why not make the bride-to-be a special CD? The CD could feature songs you have enjoyed together over the years and are meaningful to your friendship; or the #1 hit from each year since she was born. Beautiful Bridal Baskets Well, it might not be 100% homemade, but a gift basket makes a fabulous bridal shower gift! Step one: Find a cute basket or box. Step Two: Fill the box with unique, personal items that work with a particular theme. Use tissue paper or raffia to line the bottom to give the basket a full look. Theme ideas: Kitchen, bathroom, beauty, beach, gardening, pets, luxury, yoga, or fitness. Step Three: Arrange items beautifully in basket, wrap with cellophane and tie with a gorgeous ribbon Voila! You’ve created a personalized, customized bridal basket! Be a Crafty Guest The items you can make are limited only by your imagination. Perhaps you’re thinking that you don’t know how to make anything well enough to give it as a gift. Maybe it’s time to learn! Sign up for sewing or knitting lessons. Head to a local pottery kiln or glass blowing workshop to learn a new craft. Or, visit a beadwork shop and create a gorgeous pearl necklace and bracelet set for the bride-to-be! Homemade bridal shower gifts are a fun and unique way to show the bride-to-be how much you care. Don’t forget to add a unique hand-crafted card. -- Homemade Bridal Shower Gifts --
