Winter Wedding Party Gift Ideas

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service 

P: (631) 587-8500

Your groomsmen and bridesmaids will be standing by your side on one of the biggest days of your life - you should thank them, no? Traditionally, the bridal party receives a small gift from the bride and groom as a symbol of their appreciation for their help on your big day. 

So if you're planning to tie the knot this winter and are still in need of some gift ideas for your wedding party - we’ve got you covered.

Winter Accessories
Gloves, hat, scarf - gift them all three! These accessories are a necessary staple in anyone’s closet, west to east coast. Consider buying faux fur shawls for the bridal party - a beautiful and practical addition to any outdoor wedding photos. 

Engraved Whiskey 

Everyone looks to drink seasonally and what better way to enjoy the winter months than warming up with a glass of whiskey? Choose your favorite brand and create a personalized bottle by engraving something special. Pro tip: This doesn't have to just be for the groomsmen, the ladies will love this too!

Engraved Wine Glasses & Flasks
Continuing in the spirits realm, everyone needs something to put their drink in. Personalizing a wine glass or a flask turns a seemingly simple gift into a treasured keepsake. Pair with their favorite liquor or wine!

Monogrammed Hoodies
Create and personalize a zip up or pullover for your party to throw on at the end of the night (or to wear as the gals are getting their hair done!). Individualize each one or have them all match.

Shoes
Heels or tight leather dress shoes might pair well with formal attire, but spending an entire night in those shoes can take a toll on your toes. Provide your wedding party with comfortable, yet warm slip on shoes that they can use even after the night is through. Looking for the perfect pair? TOMS has great options and you’ll also donate a pair to a child in need at the same time.

Dynasty Limo is one of the largest and most established limousine companies on Long Island. From stretch limousines to shuttle buses, it's no wonder we've been the ideal choice for brides and grooms in and around LI. If you're looking for transportation for your big day, please visit us on the web or give us a call for more information 631-587-8500.
