It is your big day, and everyone is giving you gifts, but what should you get for those who have had a hand in the preparation for your wedding?

This season we saw some adorable bridesmaids gifts, but my favorite is probably the gifts that wonderful bride, Meredith, gave her bridesmaids.  These clutches not only incorporated the colors of the event, but they also were functional.  The bridesmaids were able to put their lip gloss, cell phone, and whatever other necessities they had with them in these clutches and easily keep track of them all night.  And, what’s even better is that all the clutches were different patterns, eliminating the chance of one girl leaving with another girls purse. 

Meredith’s groom, Dave, also jumped on the idea of gifts for his groomsmen.  They were given matching ties for the ceremony with their monograms on them, adding a little personal touch.

Instead of your wedding party’s closets ending up like Katherine Heigl’s in 27 dresses, give them something they will actually use.  I love that these gifts is can easily be used after the wedding.  I mean, what girl wouldn’t want one of those clutches, and what guy doesn’t love a good monogrammed tie?
