Recently, The Bess Impression was contacted by a woman in California who was getting married in Hawaii. She wanted custom gift baskets made for her family and friends attending the wedding. After having an idea of what she wanted in these gift baskets, I helped her to create gift bags filled with all the essentials of a Hawaiian getaway. On the delivery date, I woke up at 4:30AM to drive to the North Shore of Oahu. Dropping off the gift bags and setting up the beach home where the guests were staying at made me feel fortunate to have clients thousands of miles away who trust me and feel confident that The Bess Impression will do a spectacular job. It was a wonderful experience, and I feel blessed to have been a part of the couple’s special occasion.




Giving personalized gifts can take a little more time, effort, and sometimes more money, but I think it’s an added touch your gift recipient will appreciate. Here are just a few items any person would love to recieve…

Weddings are always so beautiful…the happy couple… the sweet smelling flowers…gorgeous wedding cake…abundance of alcohol…simply a wonderful and joyous occasion. However, it can be costly for both the bride and groom and the guests. No matter how many weddings we all attend, the same questions run through our minds. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions…
“How much should I spend on a gift?” Generally you should spend $50-75 and twice that amount if you bring a guest. Spending $100 or more is acceptable if you have a closer relationship with the bride or groom.
“Is giving cash okay?” Sure! It may seem impersonal, but you are actually being helpful. It can be inconvenient for the newlyweds or the wedding party to have to supervise the gift table and transport large gifts on an already busy day. If you plan to purchase a gift, it is recommended that it be delivered to the couple’s home prior to the wedding day.
“Do I still give a gift when I will not be attending the wedding?” Yes, because a gift to the couple shows that you care, support, and celebrate their new life together.
