Is your daughter, granddaughter, or a close family friend getting married and you would like to share your wedding jewelry with them?Wearing someone else’s beautiful wedding jewelry is a gift that just about every bride would love to experience.Sharing the wedding jewelry that you wore on your wedding day is a big decision and should be given a lot of time to consider.
Your wedding jewelry is likely very close to your heart but if you have a woman in your life that needs something old or something borrowed, you may want to share your jewelry. If you have decided this is something you would like to do, you first need to determine if you would like to give them the jewelry or if you would rather just loan it to them.
After you have decided if you will be giving it or lending your wedding jewelry to the bride you will want to think of how to present it. A great idea is to ask the bride to lunch and when you are waiting for your food to be brought out to the table you can present her with a neatly wrapped box and tell her you have something to share with her.You many to write a note and stick it in the box with the jewelry that tells of how happy you are for the new bride.
You may be surprised at the bride’s reaction when she open the box to see your wedding jewelry. Many brides are shocked, others are disappointed, and others have very little reaction at all.The bride’s reaction may be overwhelming to you, so try not to take it too personally. At this time you should also tell her that if she doesn’t want to wear the wedding jewelry that you won’t be offended, but you wanted it to be there if she wanted it.
Sharing or even giving your wedding jewelry to a new bride is a heartfelt gesture that not every bride will have the opportunity to experience.Make sure she understands whther or not you are giving her the pieces of jewelry or that you are letting her borrow them. When you see another generation wearing your things it will be like seeing them for the first time, which will warm your heart.
