Registries make it easy to know what to get a couple for their wedding. Couples can pick out exactly what they want, put it on a list, and watch their new plates, knives, wall art, and honeymoon funds roll in. But if you and the bride are literal BFFs, getting a gift from the registry might feel a little... impersonal. Even if you do spring for a registry pick, you might want to slip the bride a personal memento that's just between you and her. So we've rounded up 11 gift ideas for the bride, from her bestie.
