Gifts for a mixed Bridal Party

Camille, on February 26, 2018 at 10:54 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

Hello all!

I know my wedding is many months (actually a year and a half) away, but I am trying to get all the details nailed down now so that have plenty of time to decide. I have been stressing about bridal party gifts and could use some help.

My fiance and I are both having mixed bridal parties (men and women "bridekicks" and men and women "groomspeople") so I want ideas that would work as both male and female gifts. None of the people that we have asked to be in our wedding are from the state that the wedding is in, so I can't purchase a bottle of wine or other liquid for them as part of their gift because they have to fly in. I was thinking I would like part of the gift to be a s'well water bottle because I am the group mom and want to make sure everyone drinks water on my big day, but what are some good things to go with it? I'm fine with slightly different things in each basket but I want them to all seem similar as I won't have time to give each member of the bridal party their gift separately.


Anyone else have a mixed party? What did you do for your people?

    You don't have to get identical gifts for your wedding party members. FH and I have a mixed wedding party on both sides and purchased individual gifts that suited the each person.

    We got Swiss army knives for our maid of honor and dude of honor. Both were very happy with them. However, you might need to mail them, if they aren't checking luggage.

    Don't fill up a basket with"things". Buy one nice gift for each person, chosen for their individual taste/interests.

    It doesn't take any longer to pass out individually chosen gifts, than it does to pass out the same gift chosen for all without any thought given to what each person would like.
