    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 trees and personally think its lovely idea as willows last forever (or so Im told i couldnt get mine to grow when i was given one lol) so they will have an ever lasting reminder of ur friendsship and thanks etc xx

    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 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! :-)

    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.

    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.

    i have got both of my bridesmaids the grateful one. i wanted something that they can keep and look at to remind them of the day. the flowers it is holding are just like what my bridesmaids will have, just 3 flowers like that. they get to keep there dress and jewelry and shoes aswel and we have spent a fortune on them so didnt want to spend too much on the thankyous aswel x
