Bridesmaid Gifts

Sam, on May 29, 2021 at 7:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone getting their bridesmaids a gift? I'm already paying for their makeup. I'm not sure that is enough though. I was also going to write them each a personalized note on the day of the wedding. Is this enough? They are doing/planning so much for me that I feel no gift can truly show my appreciation towards them. I'm not into doing personalized tumblers/robes/ that sort of thing - I think it's a little tacky doing those sort of gifts and that they truly won't be appreciated. (sorry to those who do like those types of things) and I don't want to buy some random gift just to buy a gift. All thoughts are appreciated!


Thank you kindly in advance Smiley smile

    Hi Ayana,

    Thanks for your reply! I was thinking wedding jewelry but again everyone has different styles I would hate to waste money on a piece of jewelry they really don't like.

    Good luck to you!

    Absolutely!! A thank you gift is courteous for all of the time, money and emotional support they are setting aside for you.

    The best gifts are those suited to their individual interests that they will use/keep long after the wedding is over. Etsy is a great place to look.

    Avoid anything with names/date/titles; props for pictures/wedding/bachelorette that only benefit you: robes/pjs, all jewelry whether intended for the day of or not, hair/makeup/attire; proposal boxes, etc

    Paying for the makeup isn't a gift.

    Get them each something along the lines of what you'd get them for their birthdays. It doesn't have to be something "weddingish" with your names/date/initials, whatever.

    I got my bridesmaids each a piece of nice jewelry as a gift, but it wasn't jewelry they were expected to wear to the wedding. I also paid for all of their hair and makeup, and I got them monogrammed satin pajama sets for getting ready, but I didn't consider those gifts because the hair and makeup were wedding-related and the pajama sets were basically photo props. I would definitely get them something else besides paying for their makeup.

    My fiancé and I are paying for our wedding ourselves. My bridesmaids are not expecting me to pay for their hair/make u as I told them they can wear their hair however they want. I am going to buy them wedding day jewelry but without any monogram etc on it. Just a nice piece of jewelry nice a necklace and/or earrings. It is something I am trying to figure out now too.
