    How many bridesmaids do you have? I only have my sister as my matron of honor, and I bought her sterling silver and gemstone dangle


    I think if you get anything personalized I wouldn’t use “bridesmaid “but rather put their initials or their name on it. People are more likely to use things after the wedding that isn’t wedding specific.
    I’m still thinking about adding either like a sterling silver frame for a wedding photo to give her later, a robe with her initials on it, or a crystal vase she can put her silk bouquet in later.

    As a bridesmaid i think i've gotten similar things that i also gave to my own bridesmaid aha so a lot of stuff like hand lotions, bath salts, candles, etc. are kind of typical stuff. but then again, those are nice self care things and can be used beyond the wedding.

    I would definitely get something tailored for your bridesmaids. It shouldn’t just be something that they wear or use for your wedding.


    I’m planning on making spa baskets for with some goodies tailored to each (like something for the disney addict etc). If they like wine or a specific liquor you could get them that, gift cards, or whatever you think they’d like or use.
    I’ve only been in one wedding and we were all given the same opal heart necklace to wear on the day. I haven’t worn it since.
    Please dont forget about them! They play for their dresses and other attire, plan/pay for bridal shower and bachelorette party. Its a lot and you want to acknowledge all theyve done Smiley smile

    I'm giving my gals bracelets, lace fans for day of because it's going to be outdoors and a pen with a big, fake diamond on the top. I still don't know what to get my MOH.
    After all of the stuff we have gone through with having to change the date and shuffling around, I feel like I owe them so much more.

    I got an embroidered makeup bag with my initials which I still use all the time - was years ago! I got my girls all zip up jackets from Athleta. They can wear them getting ready and they are totally something they would all wear on the regular post wedding too. I think it’s a know your crowd thing! I’m very practical so really didn’t want to gift something they wouldn’t use or enjoy beyond the wedding day.

    I hate stuff with my initials on it.. i think it's so corny 🤦‍♀️😂 ive got 4 bridemaids and a bridesman.. so I opted for robes and matching camis/shorts for the girls (cheap from shein.com) ..a really cute can of "prophecy" wine, face mask, chapstick, home made bath salts, a candle, and a cheap bracelet and hairclips from amazon that match my crown.. for my bridesman I got him a yeti coffee mug, pot leaf socks (to match the groomsmen), a cigar, a joint, and a glacier park "home of the sasquatch" shirt 😁

    I gave them Tumblr Cups with their names on it that I used my Cricut to cut out. The cup loss each were one of their favorite colors. The cups themselves looked like regular cups but have Wine glasses inside, and sealed like a Tumbler cup.
    This was at the first dress picking. I may give them 1 last thing like a cute bracelet the day of the wedding
