			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Be it a subdued engagement party or a more risque bachelor or bachelorette party, there are going to be some <a href="http://www.icestandard.org/categories/view/1309/bride-and-groom-gifts.html" target="_blank">bride and groom gifts</a> given out. You can get the future husband or wife a gift chosen from a lot of different options at these gatherings. My husband and I received some pretty awesome gift items. Of course plain old money works just fine, and that’s what our engagement party gifts consisted of for the most part, but there were a lot of more creative presents as well. We were given movie and dinner certificates, a bottle of champagne we could use for our wedding toast, two tickets to a Reds game, that we really enjoyed, and little things like that. A lot of our loved ones gave us presents, even though it was not required for engagement parties.<br />
The guys at the bachelor party got my fiance a shirt that said ‘I survived my bachelor party, but I don’t remember how,’ along with some other crazy shirts and things. A mug with groom on it was another <a href="http://www.icestandard.org/categories/view/1309/bride-and-groom-gifts.html" target="_blank">groom gift</a> he got, along with a sun visor and set of wine bottles that were made for a man about to get married. Plus he got a few things that were gag gifts, like the inflatable lady they handcuffed him too, and the ball and chain they made him wear for the party. The guys had other funny and special <a href="http://www.icestandard.org/categories/view/1309/bride-and-groom-gifts.html" target="_blank">groom wedding gifts</a> they gave him, to ad to the merriment of his bachelor party. The bride gifts I received at my bachelorette party were sweet, although some were meant as gag gifts too. I got a beautiful evening bag made of white satin with a white ribbon across the top and under a lovely crystal button clasp. Inside the bag they had put little gifts like a manicure set, a girls night out tee shirt, a bride to be brooch and a few little necessities a girl likes to have with her. They got me a ‘tonight’ pillow that, when you flipped it over, said ‘not tonight’ to go with whatever mood I’m in. It was definitely an unusual and funny throw pillow.<br />
We didn’t get any joke bride and groom wedding gifts on our wedding day. We got about three toasters, four blenders and lots of waffle irons, but that is to be expected when you have so many people attending your wedding. We filled out a bridal registry and we received a food processor and china from that, along with some other things I had written down. My husband just adored the billards table and bar set that his parents gave us, and I know we will get a lot of use out of that. The plane tickets to get to the Greek Isles for our honeymoon came from my folks. Our family and other loved ones really gave us some outstanding wedding presents.<br />
Having all our friends and family around us on this more than special day meant more to us than anything. They were with us every step of the way, from our engagement party to the wedding and to the reception dinner. They have always been there for us no matter what, and I’m so glad we have so many wonderful friends and such a devoted family, in our lives. Having those crazy friends that go all out to give you the best girls night out party or a super cool bachelor party, means a lot too. There is never a dull moment in our lives with the super great friends we have. We will send out thank you cards to all our friends and family, but that doesn’t really show just how much we adore them.</p>
