My bestfriends wedding - Gifts for your best girl

Your best friends' wedding is a big event for both you and her. It's always emotional when we see someone close to us get married. There's enough to worry about at weddings like trying not to smudge your mascara when crying at the vows and hoping everything runs smoothly, without having to give below par wedding gifts.

However buying great wedding gifts can be difficult, sometimes it may seem as though unique wedding gifts are few and far between. It's hard to find really thoughtful wedding gifts to show your best girl exactly how happy you are for her, especially if you are on a budget. Wedding gifts often don't come cheap and sometimes it can seem as though you are paying a fortune for a few mugs or glasses! However, there are ways to find fantastic, thoughtful and importantly affordable gifts for her big day to show how much you care.

Being as she is your best friend, you may often feel that you should get her the best wedding gifts. You have probably known your best girl years and know all her ups and downs, likes and dislikes. Instead of buying a run of the mill gift, you should find something personal and thoughtful that she can treasure forever. A good way of doing this is to buy something personalised that will really stand out.

If you know the song the new bride and groom will share their first dance to, get them a really special gift by getting the original single framed. This includes an aluminium plaque that could contain a sweet message to the happy couple from you. This will be something the bride talks about for years to come! For a really special gift that will last for years and years why not name a rose or a star after the newlyweds.

This is a lovely gift that will last for eternity. This gift is surprisingly cheap, yet extremely thoughtful and comes complete with its own gift box, certificate and rose seeds. It shows your best girl how much you mean to her, and is a truly heartwarming gift that will add to the sheer romance of their day.

If your best friend has a fab sense or humour, show her your appreciation with a light hearted wedding gift. The couple will probably receive a wealth of serious wedding gifts, so let them know they are still fun despite being a married couple, by getting them something youthful and funky. You can buy them a wedding bouquet of retro sweets! This comes complete with a label stating the date of the big day and the loved up couples names. This is something they can share together and will raise a smile in years to come!

If you want to get the couple something to welcome them into married life, that they can use in their house, yet don't want the gift to be too practical why not try a personalised door mat. You can add your own personalised message to this gift so make it as funny as you like! Or instead of buying a plant for the garden, go one better and get them their own personalised apple crate planter! You can have their names and the date they got married carved into the wood for an everlasting gift.

If you are strapped for cash, you can still show your best girl how much you really care and buy great wedding gifts. By personalising gifts you can get her something really unique and special for bargain prices. If you are on a really tight budget, why not buy her a personalised chocolate bar. Every girl loves chocolate, and a chocolate bar bearing the name of her and her new husband along with a special wedding message is a great way to commemorate her big day.

Help them keep track of things in their first year of being a married couple with a personalised calender! This cheap but meaningful gift is full of beautiful romantic pictures and details, the name of the lucky couple along with the date of their wedding. Each month their names are spelled out in different romantic scenarios, such as written in the sand on a beach or in fireworks in the sky. A lovely romantic gift, for a fantastic couple!

Your friend is bound to have a fabulous day, but make it even better by giving her special, thoughtful wedding gifts. There are many to choose from, but choose unique personalised wedding gifts to make your present stand out from the crowd. Whatever your budget there is a fantastic unique gift that will show your best girl just how much you care!
