Bridesmaid Gifts

I'm planning to give my bridesmaids their gifts at the rehearsal dinner! That's typically a convenient time to do so.

Since you want them to wear those the day of, I would give them to the girls the night before so they have them, unless you want them to have to change into them when they come to the getting ready place.

We are having a sleep over the night before, so I’ll give it to them then.

They're less likely to get misplaced at the rehearsal dinner.

I gave my girls theirs the morning of! I also gave slippers and PJs and the girls either changed in the open or took turns in the bathroom. I'm not sure exactly what they did with their other gifts, but I think most ran theirs to their room (our wedding was at a hotel, and most of our guests stayed there) or just left them in the getting ready room and grabbed them after the reception. We had access to the room from 7 am the morning of the wedding until midnight.

We had a welcome dinner with all of our guests instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner, so it didn't feel appropriate to give our gifts then.

We are going to give our gifts at the rehearsal dinner which is the night before the wedding.

View Quoted Comment Ok, this is very true! We are having spouses and a few out of town aunts/uncles attending. We have our bridal suite until the ceremony but they will have to put stuff somewhere. Technically we have it the entire night but they “highly recommend” you don’t leave anything in there. It was worded in a manner that seemed like an inconvenience if you did leave stuff there during the ceremony.

I did it day before at rehearsal dinner

The suite/hotel we're getting ready in is right next to our venue. I'll show the ladies up to the suite right after the rehearsal (before going to the dinner) so they know where to meet up the next morning. I'll either give them their gifts then or the morning of right before we get ready. I'd like to verbally thank them and let them know how much they mean to me on top of giving them the gifts, and rounding them up during the rehearsal dinner to do that just seems funky to me.
