Sentimental gifts for the wedding party

Emma Pearson, owner of Heads and Tails Jewellery, shares with us her thoughts about choosing gifts for your wedding party. "Finding gifts for your party is an important part of wedding planning, especially as these will be the people who stand beside you on one of the most important days of your life. You might want to give a gift to ask them to be in your wedding party or show them you appreciate them by saying thank you with a personalised gift. Either way, finding a gift that's as unique as the people in your party can be tricky; choose something personalised with a coin minted in their birth year can be a unique and sentimental choice, or why not combine both of your birth years into one beautiful piece that they can cherish for years to come?
