A wedding...

So full disclosure: I'm getting married in six months. (That's my ring over there.)

I haven't done any blogging at all about the wedding, though I do spend quite a bit of time working on the planning. Being your own wedding planner is fun, though its also a huge job. I figured there might be a few other brides to be, or other readers, who'd enjoy reading about my experience so far. So this is the first of some posts dedicated to "wedding stuff."

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what to get my bridesmaids and maid of honor for gifts. I've only ever been in two weddings: one bride gave me a pen and pencil set and the other gave me a necklace to wear the day of the wedding, along with a clutch purse filled with things like mints and kleenex.

I really want to get my girls something amazing. Because some of them might be reading this post, I won't say what I've done thus far. I can say that I bought each of them a pair of shoes to wear the big day - they already know that.

Working at Trocadero has given me tons of ideas for cool bridesmaids' gifts. I think the new Anya Hindmarch totes (which Alice blogged about here) would be an adorable way to package the gifts. And, if money were no option, I'd get each girl a monogrammed necklace, like the ones I blogged about here.

But as to what I'll actually get them, so far, I'm stumped. So that leads me to pose a question: If you were in a wedding, what would you like? And if you had a wedding, or have been in one, what did you get? I'm excited to get some feedback.
