If you are looking for unique and thoughtful gifts for the people in your wedding party, look no further! We have compiled a list of some of the best gifts to show how much you appreciate them.
You may choose to go the traditional route with having Maids of Honor or Best Men, or just have wedding attendants. Whether your wedding party consists of family members or close friends, we have something for everyone. So without further ado, let’s get started!
For the Maid of Honor
You will want to give your maid of honor a unique and thoughtful gift to show your appreciation and how important she is in your life. While there are many traditional gifts, such as jewelry or spa certificates, you may also want to consider something more personal and reflective of your relationship. For example, if your maid of honor is an avid reader, you could give her a book that has special meaning to you. Or, if she loves to cook, you could put together a basket of gourmet ingredients with a recipe for one of your favorite dishes. Whatever you choose, the important thing is to select a gift that shows how much you value her friendship and role in your big day.
The best man is an essential member of the wedding party, and he deserves a thoughtful gift to thank him for his role on the big day. Here are some unique gift ideas that are sure to please:
Consider a personalized cutting board or a set of monogrammed steak knives for the man who loves to cook. A humidor engraved with his initials will make a great gift if he’s a cigars aficionado. A stylish watch or leather-bound planner would be much appreciated for the best man who is always on the go. And for the guy who likes to relax with a cold drink, why not get him a custom pint glass with his name and wedding date? Whatever his taste, there’s sure to be a gift that suits him perfectly.
The parents of the happy couple play a special role in the wedding celebrations. They have helped raise both of you and been there through thick and thin. As a result, it is only fitting that they are given a unique and thoughtful gift on this special day. One option is to purchase a piece of designer jewelry that they can wear on the big day. This could be something like a pair of personalized cufflinks for the father of the bride or a custom necklace for the groom’s mother. Alternatively, you could choose to gift them with a luxurious spa day to prep for the big day or weekend getaway so that they can relax afterwards.
It can be tough to find the perfect gift for your bridesmaids. If you want something unique and thoughtful, consider custom-made jewelry. You can have a piece made for each of your bridesmaids unique to her personality and style. This gesture will let them know how much you appreciate their friendship and support. Another great option is to put together a personalized spa day. You can include everything from massages and facials to mani-pedis and lunch, which is a great way to help your girls relax and feel pampered before the big day.
It’s not always easy finding the right gifts for your groomsmen. You want to get them something they’ll use, but you also want it to be meaningful and unique. Consider getting a custom set of pint glasses or growlers for the beverage lover. You can have them engraved with the groomsmen’s names or a special message. If you’re looking for something more practical, consider a gift card to their favorite restaurant or store.
A new set of camping gear or golf clubs would be much appreciated for the outdoorsman. If you know their favorite hobby, you can also get them a book or video on the subject.
You’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. The two of you have chosen the date and the perfect place . Now, we hope that this list has given you some ideas for the people in your wedding party! No matter what you choose, they are sure to appreciate the thought and effort you put into finding the perfect gift. Thanks for reading!

Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey are superheroes of reality TV. This dynamic duo, along with their award-winning team, have not only made RuPaul’s Drag Race a mainstream success but have been designated by Variety for having the biggest impact in reality TV. The team celebrates 30-plus years since they founded the multi-media empire that is World of Wonder, responsible for some of our community’s most trailblazing queer content, giving voice to underrepresented artists, icons, and activists. What started out as a dream with barely any money to buy a fax machine has turned into a global conglomerate with award-winning TV shows, web series, live events, podcasts, films, and documentaries that have bridged the gap between LGBTQ+ and mainstream programming.
On this episode, we chat with Randy and Fenton about the early days of World of Wonder, the evolution of drag, the reality of reality TV, the power of social media, breaking into Hollywood, their special relationship with RuPaul, DragCon, and their message to their fans for Pride…with host Alexander Rodriguez.
