Bridesmaids Gifts

Shop for each one as an individual. Think like it is her birthday. What does she like to wear, not things that you like for the wedding. What are her hobbies, what does she like to do when she goes out? Nothing about or for the wedding is a gift for her, those are for you, or to look good in your pictures.

I think it’s also good if you get them some thing they can use beyond the wedding for instance I got my girls compact mirrors as part of their gifts

Agreed with Judith. Etsy has been my go-to. I'm giving them tank tops to get ready in and earrings to wear, but I don't consider those actual gifts.

I'm giving each of them tote bags (they look like Longchamp bags with their name) with a hangover kit - pedialyte pack, gatorade pack, advil, mini bottle of champagne, etc., and then a personal gift for each of their likes. I have one bridesmaid who loves cooking and loves elephants, so I got a cherry wood cutting board with an elephant and her name engraved into it. For another one, I got a Kate Spade cross body bag. My sister love jewelry so I got a necklace with her name in my handwriting, which I think she'll appreciate. Need to figure out the rest!

View Quoted Comment Agree with this.

View Quoted Comment I agree with Melle! Anything that they can use after the wedding is a great idea. Things like robes are definitely nice for getting ready, but they often aren't used after the wedding. I would also avoid labeling any gifts with "Bridesmaid" or your name/wedding date.

I am giving my girls a bracelet to wear on the day. But also i got them cute travel jewelry cases and a compact mirror off etsy.

I bought each of my bridesmaids a piece of Kendra Scott jewelry as their gift. I also paid for their hair and makeup, as well as silk pajama sets with their initials monogrammed for getting ready. I considered the jewelry their actual gift because hair and makeup are wedding-related and getting ready attire is really just a photo prop at the end of the day.

I'm giving my ladies a satin pj set! It comes with a long sleeve button up top, shorts, and a matching eye mask. I'm not getting their wedding title or anything related to the wedding embroidered on them because I want them to be able to wear them long after the wedding! If anything, I'll get their monogram embroidered on it.

I'm also gifting them clear glass coffee mugs. All of them drink coffee except for one, the one that doesn't I'm gifting her either a brumate drink tumblr, or a nice insulated tumblr for her margs! They're also getting matching necklaces.

You could also make their gifts personal and unique to each person, which is always appreciated! Def. stay away from getting anything wedding related put on their gift so that they can use them long after the wedding is over.

I suggest something functional that they can use again. Most brides opt for jewelry or “getting ready robes” more things that are for the wedding/pics than what I consider an actual gift. I would have loved to get a tote bag or hello fresh box sent to me or something like that!

I'm giving my girls a robe to get ready in and a cute bottle with moving glitter that has their name on it. Got robes and bottles for my mom and MIL too they're so cute I can't wait to give it to them! lol
