As you and your significant other put the final touches on your wedding planning, finding a means of thanking the many people who will help make your special day a success is a major necessity. While wedding favors and other small gestures are perfect for your guests, you should make an effort to put together something special for your bridesmaids and groomsmen, but you shouldn’t forget about the flower girl! This special participant is undoubtedly a family member or friend’s child, and it’s customary to show your appreciation for your flower girl with a small token of your appreciation.
Don’t know what gifts are appropriate for your ceremony’s flower girl? When it’s time to shop, think about these flower girl gift ideas from Nanina’s in the Park!
- Kid-Safe Camera
Just about every friend and family member will be snapping pictures during your big day, so don’t let your flower girl feel left out! A kid-safe digital camera will give your flower girl the opportunity to play photographer so she can take pictures throughout your reception.
- Ballet Flats
Whether your flower girl loves to play dress-up or will need some comfy shoes for the reception, ballet flats are the perfect gift for the little girl who is still developing her own sense of style. Pick a bright color that will go perfectly with her outfit to brighten the little girl’s day!
- Wedding Day Teddy Bear
Going down the aisle can be a harrowing experience for a little one, so give her something to hold onto with a wedding day teddy bear. You can customize teddy bears at a variety of vendors around the U.S., so make sure to give yours one that matches the outfit of your flower girl. Even better, you can also add an embroidered message so she can look back fondly on her big day.
- Flower Girl Necklace
In recent years, jewelry designers have released a wide variety of necklace designs that are specifically crafted to be worn by flower girls with floral designs. Pick one that will pair with your flower girl’s outfit for a special gift she will wear long after your ceremony.
- Flower Crown
When you begin to pick flower vendors, make sure you inquire about flower crowns to be used by your flower girl on our wedding day! You can design one from the ground up to pair beautifully with her outfit and it can be dried and kept as an heirloom for years to come.
- Art Set
Is your flower girl a budding artist? If so, giving her an art set is the perfect gift that will keep her busy during your time in a bridal suite, as well as long into the evening at the reception. There are a variety of on-the-go art sets that combine paper, art supplies and a carrying case in one convenient package.
- Personalized Cup
With all of those signature cocktails and beverages flowing from the cocktail hour onwards, make sure your little one can get in on the toast with a personalized tumbler or glass. This can be decorated with her name or “flower girl” on the side, and will help her feel more involved in the festivities. A plastic sippy or kid’s cup are the most durable options!
