Bridal Party gifts from Bride

BTW I have 7 ‘maids!

A compact mirror I think would be really useful

I have seen bridesmaid survival kits that include double sided tape, bobby pins, hair ties, tooth floss, gum, small mirror, etc. and they seem like such a good idea. even if they dont get used for the wedding, they are totally thinks that girls can use on a daily basis. i think something like that might be really cool. another idea would be bath bombs, perfume, face masks, travel sizes of makeup, etc. you could also include something like a robe or pajama set to get ready in (these make for cute photos but some brides skip out because they can be pricey). the list could go on forever, so budget and preference definitely play a role. pinterest works wonders for things like this and sometimes i even look up things like this on google as it automatically pulls up gift ideas that can be easily purchased. the range of ideas are flexible as you are able to do them on a budget or you can spend a fortune. good luck!!!

Robes, hand bands, hand santizer, mugs, lip balm, a planner and pen, umm...and maybe slippers

View Quoted Comment I got one in a personalized bag for a wedding and a I carried it in my purse for a long time after. Awesome idea.

I got mine tote bags, a champagne flute, a robe and a hanger for the robe. All of it has their names on it. I may add a few smaller things as well but I plan to give it to them the night before or morning of since we’re all spending the weekend at my venue!

My best friend had an outdoor wedding so she gave us sunglasses, the tote with our monogram, a customized cup with our name on it, and I honestly can’t remember what else.
I will say that I’d avoid putting bridesmaid or moh or bride tribe on any of it. I would have been more likely to use my cup outside of wedding related things if it was just my name.

I think the ballet flats for tired feet at the reception are an excellent idea. I agree with Mindy, though--I wouldn't do a bridesmaids glass, or anything with the word 'bridesmaid' on it. Things with the word 'bridesmaid' on it usually end up going in the trash later. A glass with their name or initials on it would be SO much better!

View Quoted Comment LOL it was actually one of my bridesmaids who got the glasses, but I totally get the titled name on things.

View Quoted Comment I hear ya! I love things like that because they are so easy and practical!

I love the cute bridesmaid robes!

Here are some gifts I always appreciate getting: good chapstick, reusable coffee mugs, fuzzy socks, nice robes (cotton or microfiber), comfy flip flops (I don't wear ballet flats typically), gift cards, bottles of wine, makeup like lipliners/eyeliners/eyeshadows (not foundation or mascara though), pocket mirrors, bottles of champagne, totes with my name or a design I like, chocolate candy, cute calendars/planners, nice pens, etc. I would avoid things that say "bridesmaid" or have your wedding day on them.
