Bridesmaid Gifts?

I wasn’t a fan of getting my girls something that would just be a prop for my pictures that they would never wear or use again. I got my girls a gift card to a place they like.

Neither of those things are gifts, they're props for your photos. We're giving our bridesmaids gifts personalized to each of their own hobbies and interests. My tattoo artist friend is getting a personalized leather sketchbook, my whiskey loving friend is getting a personalized flask and etched glasses, etc.

I plan to go the gift card route as well. One is a new mom to twins, the other has a permanent IV drip for coffee. They’re both getting Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts gift cards!

After my bridal shower I handed them bath salts and a gift card
For my bachelorette I handed them bride tribe tees and a hangover kit
At rehearsal dinner the night before wedding day I handed them these tote bags that say bridal entourage and it had a compact mirror, face masks and lotion, a necklace and bracelet (they're bowknots with a card that said thanks for helping me tie the knot), hair ties, themed socks.

Oops, good thing I know that now! those sound like great ideas, I think I'm definitely going to go the route of personalizing each item to them. Thanks!

I wouldn’t consider something they are expected to wear day of the wedding a gift, maybe part of their gift, but I would also get something specifically for each girl as a thank you based on their tastes and interests.

I did electric wine bottle openers, a bottle of their favorite wine, and a rose gold bar necklace with their anniversary dates etched into them

I got them a getting ready outfit (I gave each girl a couple options and they picked what they would prefer), a tote, a tumbler, and a letter from me. I'm still debating on getting glitter hangers for each girl. I'm paying for hair and makeup too if they want it. I'm thinking I'll put one personal item in too, whether it's socks or flip flops or lotion or a candle!

I got each of my girls blanket scarves, robes, earrings, bracelets, and makeup brushes. The scarves, earrings, and brushes were all the same item. The robes and bracelets were tailored to each girls' style.

I got my bridesmaids a Kate Spade clutch, a bottle of reisling, and a cute face sheet mask with an animal print.

I bought my girls their earrings for the wedding, a candle, face mask, bath bomb, lotion, and hand sanitizer. I think I'll put in some candy too!

I got mine bags with their names on them a water bottle with their name and moh or bridesmaids etc on. Them and personalized flip flops and for my MOH i got her a braclet with her name and and inscription on it to underneath...look on etsy.com they have great stuff for cheaper then bridal stores etc they have robes to

I'm apparently doing it wrong but I'm cheap and getting my bridesmaids jewelry. I don't have a lot of money and I saw some cute jewelry that they can wear for other occasions as well.

View Quoted Comment I agree gifts to use as props not good idea something they can use everyday or for them selves personalized etc is best way to go there gift is about thanking them not for stuff for day of our weddings ... if you wanted to include necklace for day of also as an added item ok but get them something else to like candles or tote bag with their name on it they can use everyday etc i did flip flops and a personalized bag and water bottle bc who cant use those lol and ill prob add gift card in to or pay for their hair day of weddiing to something else as a thank you.

I got them 2 face sheet masks a sheet hand and foot mask a compact mirror with a butterfly and their name. A shawl. Chapstick that says brides maid. Make up bag that says bridesmaid. All in a cute beach bag. I will probably get them some skinny popcorn also.

View Quoted Comment I got the shawl for wedding but got some cute other things I saw on sale or cheap.

I got them robes to get ready but not as an actual gift. Of course they got to keep them but it wasn’t wrapped. I got them personalize travel tags for the luggage only with their first name as none of them are married. A jewelry set of earrings and bracelet to wear. A piece of make up whether was a highlighter or lipstick from Chanel or YSL and a Sephora gift card. They all love make up and traveling so I went with that. The jewelry set they’re able to reuse but didn’t feel like an actual present since it was for them to use it for our wedding.

A necklace a card and something personal

DIY soy candles with personalized labels.

I am doing robes, tote bags with their names, and writing each person a personalized note thanking them for being part of my special day.
