Gifts for the Bride & Groom
When a bride and groom hold their wedding on Nantucket, it's a sure sign that they love Nantucket. What better way to honor that than to give a wedding gift that will remind them of the island or that helps them enjoy Nantucket. If you have enough time, you could have a Nantucket lightship basket made just for them or choose a one-of-a-kind piece of scrimshaw and have it personalized. Lucky for last-minute shoppers, there is a wide variety of unique shopping opportunities right here on Nantucket. You can select hand-thrown pottery, wine glasses etched with island motifs, crafts, original artwork, housewares with island imprints and patterns, and gift certificates to island restaurants and island entertainment. You can even create your own Nantucket gift basket of island-made surprises.

Gifts for the Wedding Party
The right gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen will remind them of the wonderful celebration they enjoyed with you. Traditional gifts (cufflinks for the men, jewelry for the women) are available in several island jewelry shops and from independent designers on Nantucket. Fun island gifts ideas the groomsmen include Nantucket ties, belts, or flasks from Murray's Toggery Shop. Bridesmaids will love a Navigation Bracelet, an island-made clutch, a hand-dyed silk scarf, or beach glass jewelry. A professional photo of the wedding party placed in an island frame makes a memorable gift. And, of course, the Nantucket Historical Association Museum Shop has a unique selection of gits for everyone who loves Nantucket.

Wedding Favors
With all there is to plan, it's tempting to turn to the internet and order those cliched wedding favors that have become so common. But why not give a Nantucket favor? Chocolates from Sweet Inspirations, Nantucket honey or jam, fudge from Aunt Leah's, or personalized bags of Nantucket Roasted coffee all make tasty treats. Other island ideas include handmade Nantucket soaps or bath products, scallop shell sachets, Nantucket pepperguns, Nantucket wine charms, island mugs, personalized caps, t-shirts, or totes. If you have more than 50 guests, contact the merchants several months in advance to get the best price and to make sure you have your favors in time for the celebration.
