I think something they can use on the trip and take home to keep is perfect for a destination wedding...like monogrammed beach towels, jewelry to wear out or something like that.
good ideas! One idea I have is to use vintage or antique items for wedding decor, guest gifts, etc. This could also be a great way to give your wedding a special look.
I just asked my bridesmaids individually and while it was just us because I didn't want them to feel pressured. They all seemed really excited and supportive. Good luck with the poems.
