If your groom is the heart of your wedding day, your bridesmaids are the soul. They keep you sane, celebrate you, listen to you gripe, smile even though they may not love what you're making them dress, laugh with you and cry with you. How will you thank them for all of the money and time they're devoting to you? There's no way to repay them for being great friends but I've found a few great gifts they are sure to enjoy right here in Nashville at paperKuts studio.
The fun gift ideas from paperKuts can be combined into one big gift basket per girl or gifted throughout your wedding journey. The options are unlimited but sure to please.
Custom Hand-Illustrated Notecards
These custom notecards can be ordered with each bridesmaids name and turned around in 2-3 day turnaround. The prices range from $12 to 26 depending on quantity and style. The cards are available in white and ecru and there are a variety of ink colors making each set custom.
Custom Gift Basket
These gifts can be purchased individually or you can create an entire custom gift basket. The options include personalized stationery, selfie sticks (great wedding item for tables), pens, cell phone cases, tumblers, etc. Prices start at $10 per item.
Pop Culture Travel Mug
If there is a gladiator in your crew, she'll love the Scandal-inspired travel mug asking "What Would Oliva Pope Do?". More of a Being Mary Jane or Empire girl? There's a mug for her too. The travel mugs are $20.

Our beloved paperKuts studio has moved from its East Nashville location to a new location on Lebanon Road. One thing that makes the new location super sweet is its neighbor... The Cupcake Collection. Their co-location makes shopping for two of our favorite wedding goods - pretty paper and delicious cake - even easier. Now, it's nearly impossible to visit one without stopping by the other.
paperKuts Studio offers paper goods for weddings, parties, and other events that include invitations, program cards, table numbers, reception napkins - everything you need. Also available are hard-to-find gifts to say thank you, congrats, or happy birthday.
Visit the new paperKuts Studio at 2545 Lebanon Road, Nashville TN or call 615.885.0231 to schedule your wedding paper consultation with owner and our friend, Kimberly Washington.

Nashville is home to some of the most interesting wedding gift ideas in the country. Why settle for the boring, generic gift bags filled with party favors your guests or wedding party won’t use or will most likely throw away? What a waste of money! (And no one wants that!) Instead, try giving the gift of Nashville. Music City is one of a kind, just like your wedding, so give your guests or wedding party what they deserve - a uniquely Nashville gift, and help out a local-born business while you’re at it. You can’t get more Nashville than that!

Nashville Themed Gifts
The Anderson Design Group is a great place to get a ton of creatively designed, Nashville-themed gifts. These exceptional gift options can be anything from posters and puzzles to coasters, coffee tins, and magnets. The design of all the things at the Anderson Design Group adds a vintage look to your gifts while still keeping your choice notable. This wonderful shop is located on 29th Avenue North, or gifts can be bought online.
Of course there are many other stores that have Nashville-themed gifts. They’re a dime a dozen on Broadway, but sticking to the businesses that grew from Nashville, and in turn helped Nashville grow, will not only support the locals, but also give your guests a one-of-a-kind Music City experience they can hold on to for years to come.

Chocolate
Yep! I’m suggesting candy - chocolates to be exact. GooGoo Clusters are one of Nashville’s oldest treats and happened to be the first combination candy bar. These delicious bites of heaven might be small, but they’re definitely worth it, and giving a couple clusters to your guests is definitely full of Nashville spirit! GooGoo has many other options for gifts like T-shirts, mugs, and much more, but the chocolate is definitely the best.
Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Co., a relative newcomer, is another chocolate gift option. This locally based artisan has been an instant favorite.

Coffee
Very few people dislike coffee, and if they don’t like the taste, the smell is sure to get them. Why not treat your guests to their own bag of coffee from local Nashville businesses? Davis coffee is some of the most aromatic and robust coffee in the area. Although there are multiple ways to enjoy Davis coffee, you can smell it yourself by venturing into Davis Cookware & Cutlery Shop located on 21st Avenue. My nose can't help but fall in love with the smell as soon as my foot is in the door, so maybe yours will, too!
If coffee from the Davis vendors isn't what you're looking for, buy a bag from others like Bongo Java or Frothy Monkey and still get a taste of Nashville. These bags of coffee are not only useful and delicious for your guests or party, but they’re a piece of Nashville everyone will love. No money wasted here!

Nashville Gift Bags
If you wanted to go all out for your guests or wedding party - especially those who aren’t from Nashville - try giving them a few different pieces of the city and create your own gift bag. Maybe a combination of GooGoo Clusters, a bag of coffee, and a mug plus the coffee tin from the Anderson Design Group is more what you're looking for. Mix and match to find the perfect combination for your wedding! Gifts from Nashville can also be found at any of your favorite restaurants or small shops located all around town! If you and your significant other happened to meet at a specific place in Nashville, why not treat your people to a gift of Nashville and your own history?

As a bride or groom, you want gifts for your wedding party that show your appreciation, and that are thoughtful and enjoyable. After all, your friends and family have been a source of encouragement, love, and patience through the wedding planning process!
A great way to do that is to incorporate some favorite things in their gift. Kimberly Washington of East Nashville's paperKuts studio offers just that - customizable boxes tailored to the likes of the groom or groomsmen!
We reached out to her to learn more about these fun gift boxes for grooms!
Where did you get the inspiration for the groom box?
The inspiration came from the same thoughts for the bridesmaid boxes. I was checking out other options and thought a cigar box would be soooo cool and unique. I've done a bowtie and matching socks as well!
What does a groom’s box include?
Most of the fellas love the idea of the cigar, adult beverage, etc., but it can contain whatever he likes! It will always include stationery!
What is the price for each box?
The base price per box is $40.
Can the contents of the groomsman box customizable? Personalized?
The groomsman box can be customized to fit the needs of the men that will receive them. It is totally up to the customer's tastes and what they want to spend in regards to which items are included, etc. How much is customizable is a question that I get quite frequently. Personalization is on my radar to explore.
Are the boxes intended as a gift for the groom or for groomsmen, or either?
The boxes make an excellent gift for the groom or groomsmen.
How far in advance would an order need to be placed?
To ensure I provide the best options and price, a 10 day request would be great, but I can get it together sooner if necessary.
paperKuts studio also offers gift boxes for bridesmaids. You can read more about them here or call paperKuts for details at 615.885.0231, [email protected].

It can be super challenging to find creative wedding favors that your guests will actually want to take home with them after the wedding. In Nashville, gifts like jars of jam, sunglasses and shot glasses are great fun, but for the bride who wants to splurge, here's a fun Instagram find with plenty of local flavor...
If you haven't heard of Project 615, head on over to their website and check out the incredibly unique and wonderfully soft LOCAL t-shirts. These guys have everything from "Nashville Nicknames" and "Female Legends" to "Keep Nashville Bearded" printed on the front of their t-shirts. They even do custom orders, so if you want to see Aunt Petunia wearing your big day for years to come, Project 615 might be the perfect option. The best part - Project 615 is a local nonprofit that donates 100% of their profits to help restore the homeless community in Nashville. Project 615 will leave you and your wedding guests feeling the Nashville love.
