Getting married is one of the most exciting and wonderful time of any person’s life and celebrating with friends and family is one of the true joys. Many couples choose to have bridesmaids, flower girls and page boys and one of the questions that crops up frequently is what gift to buy for the flower girls and page boys.
Teddy Bear Gifts for Flower Girls
Here are some common questions and answers when having flower girls and page boys at your wedding:
Who pays for the flower girl dress? – If you want your flower girls and page boys to be dressed in the same vein as the older wedding party then the wedding couple often picks up the cost, if you are asking your other bridesmaids simply to wear a specific colour to match that they can wear after the wedding then the flower girls’ parents often pick a dress the flower girl loves. As always, it’s nice to offer to pay in any circumstance if it fits in your wedding budget.
How should flower girls prepare for the wedding? – The role of a flower girl is typically to walk down the aisle and toss flower petals. If your little one is nervous before the ceremony, a bride can help her prepare to walk down the aisle. Page boys can do the same or carry a love symbol like a horseshoe or simply accompany the flower girls down the aisle.
Does the flower girl come to the rehearsal dinner? – It’s up to the bride and groom whether to invite the flower girl and her family to the rehearsal dinner, but make sure it doesn’t go too late so she can be well-rested! If the flower girl’s parents are also in the bridal party or would otherwise be invited to the rehearsal dinner, the flower girl should definitely be included as one of the rehearsal dinner guests.
Should flower girls come to the reception? – Yes! Even if you are having a no-kids reception, those in the wedding party should still be invited. Arrangements can be made by their parents for later in the evening if they don’t want them to stay for a later party.
Where does the flower girl sit at the reception? – In the case of a head table, flower girls don’t need to sit with the wedding party. Have children attendants sit with their family instead, unless both parents would be at the head table regardless.
Do I need to get my flower girl a gift? – Whether or not you paid for the girls’ flower dresses, it’s still polite for a bride to give a gift to the flower girl to thank her for walking down the aisle and being part of your celebration.
Best Gifts for Flower Girls, Bridesmaids and Page Boys
One of the best gifts to give flower girls and page boys is a cute teddy that they can cherish forever. Bears 4 U has a huge range of teddy bears and other stuffed toys that can be personalised so they can remember the part they played in your wedding forever.
Consider a wedding themed teddy bear such as the Me to You Bears these can be personalised with Bridesmaid or Page Boy or you can have their names and the date of the wedding to make a lovely memory. You could also choose a teddy that represents their loves like a unicorn or tiger stuffed toy, again personalised with their names to make the toy unique to them. If you have a lot of bridesmaids or page boys then perhaps all having the same toy would make them feel like a team and avoid any arguments!
Whatever stuffed toy you choose to give, by making it personal they will always remember the fun they had at your wedding, and it is a lovely way to say thank you for the part they played in your special day.
