Bridesmaid Gift Packaging!

Christina, on June 11, 2015 at 1:18 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

I know there has been a lot of discussions about appropriate gifts for bridesmaids but I haven't seen anything on what to put the stuff in. Just another little detail I hadn't thought about until now.

I'm getting my girls a monogrammed hoodie (they can wear it while getting ready), a personalized tumbler, a Coach wristlet, B&BW lotion, a candle, a notebook w/their initials, and the jewelry for the wedding. I may throw in a bottle of champagne or something too. I always thought I would put them in nice totes but I just don't want to spend anymore nor do I want to overwhelm them with personalized items. I love that kind of stuff.

Do I just use a regular paper gift bag? How did/do you package your bridesmaids gifts? Any cool ideas?

    Google "personalized bridal party giftbags" and you can find several sites that have gift bags for pretty cheap that say bridesmaid on them or you can get their initials on them or something.

    I went to my local craft store and found really cute over size makeup bags that had cute sayings on them. I'm sticking their jewelry and a personalized note in them to give them on the day.

    I made clutch purses as part of the gift for my bridesmaids, I just out everything else in them and added a tag with their name. For the groomsmen we just wrapped their gifts in plain white bags and added a tag with their names.

    You must have read my mind Christina because I laid out all my girls stuff today and then asked myself "what the hell am I going to put this stuff in" haha. I thought about a tote as well, but I want to spend the money on my last gift for them on something more individualized...not a tote!

    I also gave my bridesmaids a gift when we went dress shopping. Those I just wrapped in photo boxes I got at michaels on sale.

    Such good ideas, ladies!

    @Kara:Now I want to buy everything! lol

    @PoshBride: I just thought about it when I was getting ready to order the tumblers and I thought what is all of this going to fit in?"

    @Natalie: I love that Idea. I may steal what you did for the guys and do it for the girls. I'll try to "dress up" a regular gift bag.

    I am planning on putting everything in an actual basket. I make gift baskets on the side so that was kind of a no-brainer for me.
