Looking for a great gift for your bridesmaids? Jewellery is something that most women appreciate so you can't really go wrong with a bit of bling, but for something just a little bit unusual, why not get you bridesmaids a set of girly cufflinks?

Yes, we know that cufflinks are usually for men, but we love these pretty cufflinks for women from Shefaly. Made from Swarovski and Austrian crystal they are seriously glamorous and sexy and add a fabulous finishing touch to a chic outfit. They'd be great in the office, livening up a formal suit, and would probably draw a lot of admiring looks and remarks.

Here's another use: if you're planning on wearing a sophisticated and sleek suit to your wedding, instead of a gown, then wear the cufflinks to add a dash of glitz and sparkle to your outfit.

There's a large range to choose from, with loads of different designs and colours, and they are very affordable with prices from around £27.

There's nothing new about iced wedding biscuits and there's no doubt that they do make great wedding favors. But how about an iced biscuit bouquet? It's certainly a fun and quirky idea and while it isn't really suitable for a traditional and classic wedding (can you just imagine the bride swooshing down the aisle holding a bunch of biccies?) it could be quite a funky bouquet alternative for the offbeat bride in a fun and informal setting. Well, why not?

Okay, maybe that is stretching the imagination just a tad but the idea of sending a bouquet of biscuits as a thank you gift is actually lovely. It's always nice to have a delicious biscuit with that mid-morning cup of coffee and how cool would it be to munch on a iced wedding-gown or shoe or top hat? Lots of fun, we think. Another good idea is to use them as funky table centrepieces, and they can do double duty as favors too.

There are a number of companies that supply biscuit bouquets, ( a quick Internet search will bring up a good list) but we really like these ones from Biccies. The biscuits are handmade, they look good, they taste good and at £44.99 they're not too destructive to your bank account.

We simply love birds! As a design element, they add a touch of romance and playfulness to anything they touch (we've shown you weddings and cakes so far) and they're so cute to look at. What's not to love?

We've just come across Lenox's "Chirp" china pattern (part of their Simply Fine collection) and we just fell in love all over again. The delicate watercolor-like bird and flowers illustrations contrast nicely with the bold teal accent border; the result is modern sophistication rather than grandmotherly kitsch.

You'll always have something pretty to look at - both the interior and exterior of cups and bowls are decorated with birds and blooming branches. Your daily cup of coffee and bowl of cereal will be elevated to new heights!

Best of all, this Bone china set is meant for daily use: All pieces are chip-resistant and dishwasher/oven/microwave/freezer safe.

Available at Macy's

In the days and weeks leading up to your wedding, you'll probably sit down to half a dozen dinner parties. You'll have showers and a rehearsal dinner and maybe even a bridesmaids' luncheon. That's why we love these plates as a gift idea -- as a gift either from the bride to her bridesmaids, or the bridesmaids to the bride.

My Clean Plate Club sells a variety of custom plates that would be perfect for any or all of these pre-wedding dinner celebrations. The plates vary from traditional scripted monograms to modern designs also featuring monograms or whole names, and you can get childrens' plates as well.

These would make sweet keepsakes for each member of your wedding party to take home with them, or the wedding party could pool together and present the bride and groom with a whole set of the plates. We especially love the idea of getting these plates for the kids at your wedding. Kids love personalized gifts, and you have dozens of adorable styles to choose from!

Flip through the gallery to see some of our favorite designs. To see more options and to order, visit My Clean Plate Club.

The other day as I was perusing gifts for a friend's upcoming bridal shower, I discovered these personalized crayon belts from "Doodlebuz" at AmericanBridal.com, and I was a bit sad I didn't have ring bearers or flower girls to shop for myself. But maybe you do! Each belt is quite adorable and seems, to me, to be the perfect and most original gift to give the tykes in your wedding party. Not only are these belts fun-patterned and easily monogrammed they come paired with ten crayons and a notebook. Feel free to pick up a different color pack or a corresponding easel for your favorite kids to draw on, and this gift is sure to keep on giving (to the kids and their parents!) for months to come.

Both belts -- the multi-colored belt or the red, white and blue one -- are currently on sale for $19.95 and the choice of thread colors are endless! Pick one up from your ring bearer and flower girl today!

To purchase, please visit AmericanBridal.com.

It's pretty harsh when your best friend marries the girl of your dreams, and then on top of having to watch her promise to hold him forever, you're supposed to buy your buddy a gift. He already has everything, right? Not so fast...

The team over at Asylum has put together a collection of 15 Awesomely Stupid Wedding Gifts For Guys Getting Hitched. The groom probably doesn't already have any of these things, and whether or not he needs them is not the issue. You know you want to go down in friend history as the guy who gave him the Bacon-of-the-Month subscription, or the Margarator, a margarita smoothie processor. We don't make this stuff up.

Find more awesomely stupid gift ideas here.

These incredibly thoughtful and really cool gift ideas come from the June 2008 Real Simple magazine. Even if your budget is minimal, you can prove that it is mind over matter and give a gift that they'll never forget.

1. Make a "top of the cake" kit: Put together everything the couple will need to celebrate their first anniversary, including dessert plates and silverware and two champagne flutes (add the bubbly for a bonus). Attach note instructing them not to open it until their anniversary.

2. Honeymoon reminiscing: Find a few bottles of wine that are from the honeymoon destination or remind you of the place and wrap them in related travel brochures, photos or memorabilia. Once the vacation is over, the couple will enjoy rehashing their memories while they sip your gift.

3. Post-honeymoon meal: Treat the couple to a home-cooked meal the day they return from their honeymoon. Include clear instructions on how to reheat and serve the dish. The newlyweds will love this gentle introduction back to real life.

It's tradition for the bride to give her groom a gift for the wedding. We love the idea of this poker set for him. It's a great thing to have in your home for hosting friends, but we especially like it for the message it sends to a new groom.

This kind of gift is a nice way for the new wife to tell her husband that marriage isn't going to ruin his social life -- she is supportive of the occasional guys' night. But poker and cards aren't just for the boys anymore -- grooms, maybe your bride would appreciate a gift like this. You're supposed to get her a wedding gift, too.

This 500-chip set comes in a stylish mahogany case, and sells for $100.99 on Overstock.com.

Most men don't care about what they wear to bed -- if they wear anything at all, that is. But if they made men's pajamas as comfortable as they make them for women, men would probably give the topic a little more consideration. In fact, they DO make nice men's pajamas, they just don't sell them in every department store in the country.

For a great gift to your groom or groomsmen, why not get him this heavenly set of personalized Cambridge Pajamas? The soft cotton sateen will feel great to him, and to you, when you snuggle up next to him (we're talking about the groom now, not the groomsmen!). These pajamas are $69.95, can be personalized with his monogram for free, and come with a free travel case (which can also be monogrammed for an additional $9.95).

Depending on the bride's location in relation to bridesmaids, friends, and family, a number of different bridal showers could possibly take place.

Many times there's a family-based shower, which includes aunts, cousins, grandmothers, etc. Then, there might be the slightly more risque lingerie shower with the bride's best friends. And then there are the showers based on organizations to which the bride belongs -- church, work, clubs, etc.
