Gift for your maid of honour and best man — figures from your photos

A maid of honour is easiest to recognise by her hairstyle and hair colour, so we carry them over from the photo. We choose the dress from a photo or a description — for example, one close in colour to the dress she'll wear at the wedding. We put a flower or a glass in her hand and print “To my maid of honour” or “This day wouldn't have happened without you” on the stand. If your maid of honour is a friend of many years, take a look at the gift for a friend page too.

The best man's figure is a suit, a beard and glasses just like in the photo, plus one detail in his hand. A glass is a reminder of the wedding toast, while a guitar, a camera or a game controller points to his passion. The inscription can be serious (“To my best man” and the wedding date) or in your own style: “The best man who didn't lose the rings”.

If the thank-you is meant to be a shared one, choose the “us and you” frame: four figures side by side, like in a keepsake photo from the wedding, with all four names, the wedding date and “Thank you for being there with us” on the background. The frame builder will show how many places there are in the size you choose. If your maid of honour and best man are a couple themselves, one such frame is enough; if not — order two, one for each of them.

A figure also works much earlier — when you are only just asking someone to be your maid of honour or best man. Instead of a card with the request, your friend, sister or brother gets a little copy of themselves with the question on the stand. Another idea: two figures, yours and your future maid of honour's, as a preview of the preparations you'll share.

The idea works the other way round too. The maid of honour and best man know the couple well enough to suggest the details: his glasses, her favourite flowers, the dog that is in every photo of them together. Details like these make up a frame with the newlyweds' figures, with their names and the wedding date on the background, or two separate figures for the shelf. More ideas: wedding gift.

In Poland, thank-you gifts for the maid of honour and best man are usually handed over at the wedding reception, together with the thank-you gifts for the parents, or a day earlier, at a calmer moment. A gift for a specific date is better ordered in advance: that leaves time for revisions to the design. You can take the photos of your maid of honour and best man from social media — only the person placing the order sees the design.

We send the design preview for approval, and once you say “yes”, we usually ship the order the next business day. Delivery takes 1–3 business days within Poland and 2–6 business days to the EU (other countries: cost confirmed before dispatch), and if the date is close, there's a paid “Express shipping” option in the cart.
