Bridesmaid gifts

I made up gift baskets including some beauty products (exfoliator, charcoal mask, lotion, bath bomb) and also did a custom Yankee Candle with a picture of me and the bridesmaid on it, a cute little wristlet I picked out (different ones for each girl - courtesy of Tj Maxx) that holds a gift certificate to something they like (for example my maid of honor is getting a groupon for a massage because she’s in grad school and always is stressed), a bottle of their favorite wine, a name engraved wine tumbler from Etsy that were super cheap, earrings for the wedding (also courtesy of the clearance section at Tj’s) and a hand written note telling them how I appreciate them being part of the big day. I think that’s all of it - probably cost around 150 total per girl but I only have 3 in my bridal party so I was willing to spend a bit. We plan to give them at the rehearsal dinner

I bought them all practical, comfy but cute waffle robes that were cheap from robemart.com, personalized hangers from Etsy, jewelry to wear in the wedding, PJ shorts (on clearance for $3 each!), and a canvas tote bag that is personalized as well!

I bought tshirts, the wedding jewelry, a hydration kit (which included a water bottle hand lotion and lip balm) and make paid half for their makeup artist fee.

Thank you, Casey! I love that idea! lol I know he won't mind a little bit of girly stuff, and he won't mind being singled out with a guy gift, either! I might send him with the boys if we do anything too gender-sided, like group massage or something.

My aim is to spend about $50/person (8 total). I have 5 bridesmaids, who will get a monogrammed beach tote, monogrammed water bottle, beach towel, and sunglasses. I also have 3 bridesmen; since they’re guys, I got them monogrammed toiletry bags, monogrammed flasks, sunglasses, and an external charger. I’ll also probably get them all a shirt to wear while getting ready (not a robe, though, since there are men in the party). All-in-all, it will be about $50pp, possible because I only have bought stuff when it’s at least half off. 🤗 the weddingwire website is a great place to go for this stuff!

I got my girls robes and the jewelry they’ll wear for the wedding but I don’t consider that as gifts since it was for the benefit for my wedding. Although they’ll be able to use it again still I need to give them more. I gave them a Sephora gift card for $35 each, a personalize luggage tag and a nice lipstick or highlighter from YSL or Channel. They’re all big on make up and traveling.

That is a fantastic idea! I am getting married next October too!

You should take a look at Lucky Maiden. They have really cute bridesmaid gifts for under $20.00. I bought ring dishes and bath bombs.
