DelectablyChic! is back with its highly anticipated Bridal Gift Guide Series by T. U. Dawood. The series continues with Part IV: How to Thank the People That Made Your Wedding So Special

Finally, your big day is over and you can enjoy your time with your Groom. However, don’t forget to thank those who helped make your day so special.

Treat Your Guests to Something Sweet

Although thank you swag for guests come in all shapes in sizes, a perennial favourite is chocolate. We love Canadian brand Purdy’s Chocolatier’s new style of their wedding favours, which are most popular in two or four piece (seen above) collections, either in gold or royal purple boxes.

Here are some fun suggestions for Best Gifts for your Bridal Party and Families.

Best Gift for Father of the Bride:

Traditionally, the Father of the Bride paid for the Wedding. Keeping that spirit in mind, a fun gift to give Dad is the bestseller “Money: Master the Game” by Tony Robbins. It is a fantastic and insightful resource featuring secrets from some of the world’s great financial minds including Charles Schwab and Steve Forbes.

Best Gift for Mother of the Bride:

Probably no one needs to be pampered more than the Mother of the Bride and what better way than to gift her L’Occitane Aromachologie’s* “Rebalancing Infusions for the Bath” and “Rebalancing Shower Gel.” Even the scent of these two items exudes healing and relaxation.

*EDITOR’S NOTE: This product doesn’t appear to be available online, but is available at the boutiques according to the author.

Best Gift for Mother of the Groom:

You probably never knew that Michael J. Fox’s wife Tracy Pollan came from a family of gourmet cooks including her famous food writer brother Michael. Now, Tracy and her two sisters Lori and Dana as well as their mother Corky, have written “The Pollan Family Table.” The cookbook includes a philosophy of cooking as well as some wholesome family favourite recipes.

Best Gift for Father of the Groom:

Tickets to sporting events in Toronto (especially the PanAm or Parapan Games)!!

Best Gift for Your Bridesmaids:

Limited Edition Valentina Pink Eau De Parfum by Valentino is sure to make your bridesmaids smile. You can even gift the perfume at the Rehearsal Dinner and all the bridesmaids can sport the scent on your big day. A pink floral and fruity scent, this fragrance starts with fresh peony, transitions to subtle strawberry and blackberry, then to heart notes of sensual May rose, centifolia rose and rosebud to finally end with warm base notes of Cashmeran wood, elegant ambrox and praline perfect this stunning fresco.
