Wedding Wednesday -- Wedding party gifts

Whether it's picking out dresses or tuxedos, putting together wedding favors or simply walking down the aisle, your wedding party is with you every step of the way. Show them how much you love and appreciate them with these unique gifts and wedding reception ideas.

Smile!

Rent a photobooth! Seriously, what better way is there to remember everyone who played a part in your big day (other than that super pricey photographer)? Photobooths are the hottest rave for weddings. And, unlike their dorky movie theater counterparts where all you do is sit and smile, wedding photobooths come with interchangeable backgrounds and tons of fun props like mustaches, hats, goofy glasses and more. Pose with each member of your bridal party posse and make memories that last a lifetime. Contact DC Photobooth for more information.

Let's Get Personal

Who doesn't like to see their name or initials on something cool like a travel mug, kimono robe or beach towel? TheKnot.com offers a wide variety of personalized gifts—from totes, to slippers, to flasks and everything in between. For friends who like a little bling bling, head on over to Things Remembered at Dulles Town Center and choose a beautiful piece of jewelry, money clip, stuffed animal for the kids or a classic compact. Choose to inscribe a heartfelt thank you message, their name or initials or other memento to show how much you appreciate their help on your special day.
