“With this ring tone I thee wed”

A scavenger hunt is a great idea for a bachelorette party and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.  If you are looking for a cheap bachelorette party idea that is also fun this might be the one to choose.

A scavenger hunt is a game where people are given a list of items to find, places to locate, or things to do.  There must be some form of proof that the task was completed (a photo is best) and the person who completes the most items wins.

Many bachelorettes enjoy a scavenger hunt as part of their night out on the town.  You can purchase premade lists with things everyone needs to do.  This is a fun activity to incorporate into your night on the town, but it doesn’t mean it is a cheap option.  The average night out on the town will run a guest in excess of $75.  This might sound excessive, but when you start to factor in the cost of renting transportation, cover charges at bars, drinks, and the person’s share of the bride to be’s expenses it might be a conservative estimate.

You can have a scavenger hunt as a bachelor party all to itself.  If this is the case then you will want to divide the guests into teams of three or four (because a car will be necessary).  Consider putting out of town guests in the same vehicle with those familiar with the city.  You can also include younger members of the bridal party (flower girls and junior bridesmaids) since this is more of a family friendly bachelorette party.

One fun idea is to have an “important places” scavenger hunt.  If you live in a large area or historic area these places can be famous landmarks or tourist destinations.  If the bachelorette party is in the town where the bride to be grew up you can do a scavenger hunt with places important in her life (like her high school, house where she grew up, etc.).  Or you can do a combination of the two.  Since most everyone has GPS on their telephone or a separate unit this isn’t a difficult idea.  Just make sure you have someone on every team who is familiar with the city AND has GPS.

You can also do a themed scavenger hunt.  Some ideas are things in a bride’s purse, things needed for the honeymoon, or things for the wedding night.  If you have a lot of people from out of town this type of scavenger hunt might be better because you can go to one mall to complete it.  If you do plan on doing this type of scavenger hunt you will want to make it a bit difficult.  Have the items to be found in riddle form.  For example:

•    If I’m not over you you’ll feel bare.  (This could be a robe or bathing suit cover up).
•    Without me our bride will be seeing red.  (Sunscreen)
•    When the water starts to flow I’ll be needed.  (Tissues)

These are just a few thoughts for scavenger hunt bachelorette parties.  Remember that cheap bachelorette parties don’t mean boring or bad.  With a bit of creativity you can throw a party to remember.

According to tradition, we should buy certain gifts for each anniversary, but honestly, would you really want to receive a paper gift for your first anniversary, a wooden gift for your fifth or a tin box for your tenth? I thought not.

A wedding anniversary gift should be something that can be treasured, something romantic, something totally unique that your loved one will adore.

For you men out there that always have problems when it comes to coming up with a unique wedding anniversary gift idea there are a couple of things you need to know:

1 As far as women are concerned it’s the “thought that counts”, so although she would love a new designer bag or an expensive pair of diamond earrings, you are not getting the bang for your buck!

2 There are two ingredients to creating a gift she is guaranteed to adore, a gift she will treasure forever. The first is your wedding picture; the second is a heart shaped gift to put it on.

It sounds really simple doesn’t it? Well it is; there is nothing more romantic than giving your woman a heart shaped gift with a picture of you wedding day on it. Better still, it won’t break the bank either!

The development of the personalized photo gifts industry has made it very easy for absolutely anyone to create their own unique gifts. There are hundreds of products to choose from and with an endless amount of pictures, designs and text available to put on them, you have an infinite number of options. Your only limitation is your own imagination!

Let’s get back to some gifts ideas

As I already mentioned, what you need to be looking for is a heart shaped gift you can personalize with pictures of your own wedding. Two of the most popular items are:

Heart Shaped Watches

Once you start looking around you will find that there are hundreds of heart shaped watches to choose from, but what you are looking for is a heart shaped watch you can personalize. This cuts down your options a little but still leaves you with a pretty good choice.

You may want to consider a heart shaped Italian Charm Watch. The reason I suggest this is you can also personalize the charms that make up the wrist band, a really cool idea.

Most Italian Charm Watches have a wrist band made up of sixteen 9mm Italian Charms. To create a really unique gift you may want to consider putting a different wedding picture on each of the sixteen charms that make up the wrist band. If you do this you can pretty much guarantee she will absolutely love it!

Heart Shaped Key Chains

Heart shaped key chains make a very popular gift, but make sure if you are going to give her a personalized key chain that it is good quality; avoid plastic at all costs. Chrome Key Chains are certainly worth considering as they look really sharp, especially when they are customized with your own pictures.

Other items you may want to consider include heart shaped jigsaws, heart shaped magnets, heart shaped dog tags, heart shaped ornaments and heart shaped mouse pads.

A heart shaped jigsaw with your wedding picture on it can make a very romantic gift. When you get down to doing the puzzle together, you will soon be giggling and having great fun as it fires up a whole bunch of old cherished memories.

Most women would be happy to put a heart shaped wedding picture magnet on their fridge for everyone to see, while heart shaped ornaments and mouse pads also make most unusual gifts she is sure to appreciate.

Then there’s the heart shaped dog tags; a novel idea is to create dog tags for him and for her, they make cute romantic gifts for any loving couple.

Conclusion

Wedding anniversary gifts are a symbol of a love that grows stronger with each passing year. A personalized anniversary gift can help put the fire back in your romance and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg either!

Why don’t you spoil her with a very special and unique personalized gift today?
