Bridesmaid Gift Ideas?!

Jill, on April 7, 2020 at 6:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

Hi Everyone: I know it has become typical to give bridesmaids a piece of jewelry to wear the day of the wedding as a part of their gifts (or at least I've gotten one the last 3 weddings I've been in). I'm having trouble figuring out what to do for mine though because all 5 are wearing mismatched dresses- all in the gold/champagne family but completely different necklines, silhouettes, etc. I can decide what to give them. I know a lot of people do robes for the day of, but not a huge fan of those. Any ideas? Would love to hear some. My fiance spent about 100-150 on each of his groomsman- not that I need to spend that much but open to ideas!

    I’m doing earrings with their first initials on them along with a lipstick, flask with their names and robe/slippers. You can do a different brand of perfumes, gif cards to there favorite places, tickets to a show/sporting event or concert. You can treat it like it’s their birthday.

    For my BMs I bought them all a robe, pearl earrings, perfume, and bath salts. I will also have a handwritten thank you card for them with their gifts and I'm getting a special brunch for them the morning of.

    I did mostly all the same stuff: a robe, a selfie light to clip on your phone, a face mask, a warming eye mask, lip scrub + balm, a scratch off ticket from Amazon that when scratch says “will you be my bridesmaid”, a coffee cup and a bath bomb.
    But I wanted something specific for each of them too that only they like. For example, my friend loves to travel so I got her a travel related trinket, my other friend loves the show Friends so I got her a friends themed cup etc...

    I bought them a gift card to a place they like, paid for either hair or makeup, and wrote a nice note.

    I would personally shop for them like it was their birthday. They don't all need to receive the same items (as long as the total price point is about the same) and a personalized item that has to do with what I enjoy with a nice note would be so much more appreciated by myself than a bracelet or something that everyone else is given. The last two pieces of jewelry that I've received for being in weddings are currently sitting in my jewelry box as I don't wear jewelry very often.

    Agree with PP— gift them items that they would like and use in the future.


    I gifted each of my bridesmaids a piece of jewelry, but I made sure to let them know that I didn’t expect them to wear it for the wedding and they could wear whatever jewelry they wanted. My mom did gift all the girls matching PJs and slippers to wear while we got ready.
    Ring Concierge has some great pieces ranging from $150 and to more expensive ones. Smiley smile

    My bridesmaids' dresses also had different necklines, so I gave them bracelets that matched with the color of their dresses. I also gave them each a pajama set with their initials monogrammed

    My bridesmaids also all have different style dresses, and also different taste in jewelry. So I may getting them all jewelry that matches both their fashion taste and dress style! I am also hand making wands because we all love Harry Potter

    I suggest getting them a bridesmaids bag with spa like gifts, gift cards if unsure flavor they like / unsure if allergic to anything, bracelet, earring, and definitely a handwritten thank you card for being your bridesmaids. 😊

    Some of mine are wearing sage and some are wearing lavender. I'm wearing a set of vintage opal earrings. I bought my girls these wooden earrings because it goes really well with the dusty pastel thing I have going on, haha!
