Christmas presents for your bride-to-be
A good bridesmaid should stand by her bride from the beginning, to help with planning, and to be available for frequent vent sessions.
Christmas is a great opportunity to help your bride organize and unwind. While hunting for a gift for bride No. 3, my sister, Kim, I realized I should share my finds for other bridesmaids who want to use the occasion to give a gift that will help into the wedding season.

Start an online wedding look book. Many brides blog about their weddings, but if your bride-to-be isn’t web savvy, create a blog for her with looks you think she’ll like. Use a free site like blogger.com and you can make the blog private if you want.
Make an engagement scrapbook. Couples document weddings like crazy, but forget about preserving engagement moments. Take the opportunity to interact with other bridesmaids you don’t know as well, and the grooms family to write down their memories and surprise the bride with a letter included from her finance.
Give a spa gift certificate. SpaFinder sells gift certificates good at locations throughout the country.
My fiance and I took a lot of pictures the day we got engaged especially since we were at a park. I definitely want to scrapbook that day.
