Alright, let’s talk about them bridesmaid ornaments, you know, the little dangly things you give to the girls standin’ up with ya at the weddin’. I seen a whole bunch of ‘em, some fancy, some plain, but they all gotta say one thing: “Thanks for bein’ there, girl!”
Now, first off, what in the heck is a “bridesmaid proposal ornament”? Sounds mighty fancy, don’t it? It’s just a way to ask your gal pals to be in your weddin’, but with a little somethin’ they can keep. Like, instead of just blurtin’ it out, you give ‘em a pretty little ornament. Some of ‘em got the girl’s name on it, some say “Will you be my bridesmaid?”, all that lovey-dovey stuff. I seen one that looked like a flower, real purdy, with the girl’s birth flower on it, I guess that’s the flower for the month she was born in. Don’t ask me, I ain’t no flower expert!
Then there’s the keepsake bridesmaid ornaments. These are the ones you give ‘em after the weddin’, or maybe even on the weddin’ day itself. They’re supposed to be a reminder of the big day, you know? Some folks put pictures on ‘em, little tiny pictures of you and your friend, or maybe a picture from the weddin’. I saw one that said, “Best Bridesmaid Ever.” Well, ain’t that sweet? They got all sorts of shapes too, hearts, stars, even little weddin’ dresses. Some are made outta glass, some outta metal, some outta that…what’s it called…ceramic stuff? Fancy, I tell ya.
- Personalized is good: Folks like seein’ their name on things, makes ‘em feel special.
- Pictures are nice: A little picture is worth a thousand words, they say.
- Don’t go breakin’ the bank: You don’t gotta spend a fortune, somethin’ small and thoughtful is just as good.
Now, some folks get all worked up about how much to spend on these things. I heard tell of folks spendin’ a hundred dollars or more on each bridesmaid! Land sakes, that’s a lot of money! Back in my day, a thank you and a piece of cake was enough. But I guess times are different. You can get a decent ornament for, I dunno, twenty bucks? Thirty? Depends on how fancy you wanna get, I reckon. If you’re givin’ it to your maid of honor, maybe you spend a little more, since she’s doin’ all the heavy liftin’, so to speak. Help you with your dress and plan party and what not.
And what about the weddin’ day itself? Some folks give the ornaments then, as a little gift to say “thanks for standin’ up with me.” I seen one that had a little message on it, somethin’ like, “I wouldn’t be me without a friend like you.” That’s nice, ain’t it? Makes a person feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You can put these ornaments in a little gift box too, along with other little trinkets, like nail polish, a little bottle of champagne, even candy. I seen folks gettin’ real creative with these gift boxes. One girl, she put in a DVD of some weddin’ movie, and a picture of the bridesmaid dress. Fancy, I tell ya!
But you know what? It ain’t about how much money you spend, or how fancy the ornament is. It’s about showin’ your friends you appreciate ‘em. That you’re thankful they’re there for ya on your big day. A simple little ornament, somethin’ they can hang on their tree every year and remember your weddin’ by, that’s all you need. Don’t get all caught up in the fancy stuff. Just be genuine, and your friends will appreciate it. That’s what counts, ya hear?
So, whether you go for a flower ornament, a picture ornament, or just a plain old ornament with a nice message, remember it’s the thought that counts. And don’t go breakin’ the bank, okay? There’s plenty of other things to spend your money on when you’re plannin’ a weddin’, trust me on that!
And one last thing, don’t forget to say thank you. A simple “thank you” goes a long way, you know? It don’t matter how pretty the ornament is, if you ain’t grateful, it don’t mean nothin’. So be thankful for your friends, and let ‘em know you appreciate ‘em. That’s the best gift of all.
