Ring Bearer Wedding Gifts
Thank the members of your bridal party, including your ring bearer, with a special gift. Wedding party gifts are typically something the recipient can hold onto as a keepsake from the wedding years after the special day. Consider your ring bearer’s age, interests and your budget when selecting your ring bearer’s gift.
Toys
Give your ring bearer a goodie bag filled with little toys and treats that will keep him occupied during the reception. For example, fill the bag with quiet handheld video games, an engraved personal music player, a deck of cards, colored pencils and a coloring book or a silver-plated engraved yo-yo. Engraved or personalized toys can serve to keep your ring bearer busy and give him a token of appreciation that’s also a keepsake.
Apparel
Customized apparel is an option that works in your favor if you’re having special prewedding events or gatherings. Have a T-shirt or hat made to say the child’s name, his title of ring bearer and your names or wedding date. Personalized beach towels or blankets might be more appropriate if your wedding is on the beach or in a cold climate.
Keepsakes
Silver or pewter piggy banks can be engraved with the child’s name and wedding details. Choose a coin bank in a shape that complements your ring bearer’s bedroom decor or reflects his interests. Banks are available in the shape of many sports balls, trains, cars, trucks, pirate ships, planes or nearly anything other shape you could imagine. Clocks or decorative trains that spell out his name are other options. Purchase a real share of stock from a company he’s familiar with, such as a video game manufacturer.
Jewelry
Some boys may feel special with a piece of engraved jewelry, or you may want to give your ring bearer jewelry if the rest of the wedding party is getting jewelry. Engraved dog tags are ideal for many little boys. A watch, whether fancy or not, can typically be engraved and make the boy feel more grown. Cuff links engraved with his initials or a pocket watch or pendant are other options.
