6 Great Nautical Gifts for the Wedding Party at Your Cruise Ship Wedding

Cruise ship weddings are gaining in popularity, and it's easy to see why. They can act as "nuptials and honeymoon...rolled in to one" that allows for the bride and groom to have one-on-one time as well as opportunities to spend time with close friends and family throughout the trip. In fact, so many couples are looking seaward when it comes to planning I-dos that many cruise lines are now offering comprehensive packages that include everything from rehearsal dinners and officiants to websites and registries. One item on the wedding planning checklist that the couple must usually plan for and purchase on their own, however, includes gifts from the couple-to-be to the members of the wedding party.

Bucking tradition when it comes to gifts for the wedding party by selecting items tailored to the occasion's maritime spirit, rather than such as matching necklaces for the bridesmaids or flasks for the groomsmen, is a great idea for 2 reasons. Unique gift choices will help ensure not only that the gifts you choose won't merely collect dust, but also that the memories of the wedding will last long after the last toast is made.
