Hello! I am wondering what too give my bridal party as a gift. So far, I have bought them silver necklaces and bracelets that they can choose to wear to the wedding. Are these accessories considered part of the gift or should I add a bit more? I am not sure. I purchased silver jewelry so to give them something nice, but am really unsure as to what the etiquette is.

I think silver jewelry is enough. You could get them robes or wine too if you wanted, but you're under no obligation to.

As long as they aren't an accessory for your wedding, they are a gift. If you're requiring them to wear the jewelry for your wedding, it's not a gift. If it's within your budget, I would add another small, more personal, gift.

I think that’s enough.. maybe a card/ hand written letter about your friendship with them

I have been given jewelry to wear as a bridesmaid and truthfully it was a gift and it was nice but only if it was something I would wear again. I would carefully consider the jewelry as everyone has different tastes and one friend gave as part of a gift a swavorski necklace for the bridesmaid and mentally I wanted to punch the MOH that suggested we wear it the day of the wedding as for my taste it looked like a Christmas wreath. If you feel their style matches that their taste then go for it. I think you cannot go wrong with a spa box, robes or a personalized wine tumbler.

I wouldn’t consider jewelry part of a gift unless it was unique to my tastes and not matching the rest of the group. I would look for something else small.

Etsy has vendors for that ! I have ordered some nice stuff off there like tumbler cups with names and said bridesmaid etc. Great color selections as well and you can use one color for cup another for the lettering add glitter or so forth.

If they are nice quality and they would wear them outside of your wedding (meaning they don't say anything wedding related and are in style with what your bridesmaids wear), I think they can count towards the gift. If I received a silver bracelet and necklace as a bridesmaid, I'd wear it once then probably never again.

I'm sure that's enough. I had 3 bridesmaids and I got them each an earring and necklace set (from etsy, about $20/ea), a tee shirt from a show that we enjoy talking about together ($15-$20/ea) and a tote bag with their name on it ($7/ea on Etsy). I also paid for their hair the day of since that is kind of pricy (about $75/bridesmaid). I also wrote them each a beautiful card thanking them for their friendship (or sistership as it was for my sister) and reminding them how much I love them so much. So I spent a little over $100/bridesmaid, and I had 3 bridesmaids). If I had less bridesmaids, I am not sure what I would have done about that, to be honest.
