Thoughts? Wedding Shower Gift

First off my brother is getting married and his FI is like one of my BFFs, and my cousin is also getting married. I want to do something special and unique for them for shower gifts. 

What are your thoughts on these hangers?

Cousin's would read Bride because her last name is too long to fit. 

FI's would read Mrs. N....

I'm torn on doing the ones with the flowers or the regular plain ones.

Is this a silly gift? Also it won't be their only shower gifts.

Re: Thoughts? Wedding Shower Gift

  • I think they are cute!! And I would have loved something like the one with the flowers, if only for a beautiful photo prop for pictures of my dress. Then, I probably would have displayed it somewhere in our bedroom, maybe even found a way to incorporate wedding pictures into it.

    Okay good, thanks for the input. I would have loved one too! And I actually kept searching and found a seller who can do one with more letters for my cousin, so I'm more excited now. I'll just have to do the flowers for my cousin's myself.

    Yay!! I think the personalization makes it even better! I'm kinda thinking it'd be fun to get a matching set for C and I's bedroom.... hmmmm.

  • Eh, I don't know. I definitely would've liked it for day of pictures of my dress, but then I'd probably never use it. It'd be cool to incorporate into a shadow box with other mementos but that may not be the bride's thing. I say only do it if you think they'll display/use/keep it after the wedding.

  • This is my go-to gift for showers. I've given a hanger to 4 brides-to-be and they each loved it. It's unique. I usually give the regular cherry colored ones. The flower one is pretty and I like it but it may not "match" their dress for pictures and such.
  • I think it's absolutely darling!  Definitely cute to go with some more practical get your home started gifts.

    Agreed. I have a ton of things like this that are in boxes... I should really dig out our unity candle.

    Anyway.

    If you get it for them, I would do it in addition to something else.  

      This. It's cute but not something that I would use over and over again.

  • I like it for a prop for wedding day photos.  I don't know how much they are but if you can I'd also give her another more practical gift...maybe more hangers of a similar style and some other things for her closet.

  • Thanks for the input ladies. And I did plan on doing more than just this for shower gifts." Is this a silly gift? Also it won't be their only shower gifts." Copied from my original post.

    And actually because I'm a bridesmaid in both weddings I have see their dresses. I might not do flowers for cousin's but FSIL I will do the flowers because its so her and her dress would look super cute with the flowers above it.

  • They are really popular on the DIY board and my local board as well. Personally, I wouldn't buy them because they are easy and inexpensive to make yourself. But I would make one for a gift.

  • You know them best.  If you think they would like it, go for it.  If it were me getting one, I'd do the polite "Oh, these are cute" (smile and look greatful) and then never look at them again.  I probably would use them for a photo prop if that was their purpose, but then it would either be put in the top of a closet or thrown out.  Just me though.  I'd rather give a practical gift.

  • I think that's a really sweet, really cute extra gift. I'm a practical girl for sure, but I would have loved to have one of these for a hanging-wedding-dress picture.

    ETA: I like the one without flowers better. 

  • I love them! Even if they aren't crazy about them, they're functional and can be used in their coat closet!
