10 Gift Ideas for Your Wedding Party by Black-Owned Businesses
Here at The Amber Studio, as African American wedding photographers we love supporting other black and African American owned shops. So, we thought we’d round up a few of our favorites to help you find gifts for your wedding crew! Buying wedding party gifts can be a real task. You’re in the middle of planning a wedding and have a million and one things going on. But, you're wanting to thank your squad for standing by you throughout life and being your support through this whole wedding planning process. You can celebrate them and show your appreciation with wedding party gifts that fit their style.While I was not paid to include any of the items on this list, a couple of these are affiliate links. Which means that they send me a small kickback when you use it. So, if you found value in this blog post, I always appreciate the kickback.
