Hey everyone..went shopping today got h2b ring..also while i was in the shop seen willow trees, One saying grateful and the other saying thank you so i brought them both just as a little thank you to both of my bridemaids! Just because they have little gifts saying basically that Everytime you look at it youll be reminded of the memories!
i showed a friend them n she said Aww there nothing special!! :-(
What do you think these are only to give them to saying a massive thank you im buying them both necklace and earrings for the day!
Thanks in advance xxxx

I LOVE willow tree's - I went through a faze of buying them for everyone as a gift! My mum n dad's house has like 5 now as I got one for mum, one for dad, one for my brother and girlfriend, one when my little brother was born and another one for mum hahahaha
I think they are lovely and brilliant idea for a thank you present :)

I think it's really lovely and a bit different too. When are you going to give them to the BMs? I'm rubbish with plants so they'd be dead by next year if it was me! :-)

Sorry to confuse Anyone these are the willow tree figures... One is Thank You and One is grateful xxx

My friend bought me a willow tree, I normally dislike ornaments (actually, I hate dusting, so avoid ornaments to make the whole process quicker) but this one has pride of place as it's so simple. I think they make lovely gifts.
If only life could be one long tea break

Sorry to go off on a tangent, but when exactly do you give the gifts? I have been to a wedding where they are given out at the reception, but then i think it makes those who you haven't got a gift for feel uncomfortable? I am thinking of giving the gifts to BM's/MOH/Bestman etc in the morning and then parents gifts at the reception - flowers for mothers etc.
