Bridesmaid gift amount?

C, on September 1, 2021 at 11:07 AM Posted in Planning 0 4
Is there a typical amount to spend on bridesmaid gifts? I understand to spend what you can afford - I’m looking between $75-$150 per girl; however, they really haven’t done anything so I don’t want to spend a ton (I understand they aren’t required to.) I paid for and had to plan my bachelorette (we booked flights then no one planned so I had to - some girls didn’t attend), no one responds to my texts about the wedding, only a few of the girls came to my bridal shower, etc.

    They are still buying the dress, taking time off (if the have to) to come to the rehearsal (unless you're not having one), and standing next to you and supporting you on your big day, which fits the "duties". All the things you described that they haven't done or couldn't participate are just bonuses.

    You give gifts to your bridal party to show appreciation for them as your closest friends. Some gifts are handwritten sentimental cards with maybe a gift card, others are tailored to the friends interests and hobbies. There isn't really a range.

    I agree with what Janet said. Its showing appreciation for standing with you on your special day. You don't have to spend a ton but make sure its even, you could spend more on your MOH if you wanted. Just write a nice note and give a gift card or something.

    There’s no recommended amount. It doesn’t matter how much something costs, it matters how sentimental/thankful it is. I think I spent around $30/bridesmaids for their thank you gift

    I spent $30 on my junior bridesmaid and $75-100 on my matron of honor. My fiance spent $15 on each GM & BM.
