Is This Enough For Bridesmaids Gifts?

Jane, on March 2, 2021 at 10:37 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15
Hi bride friends!!!
Can you tell me if you think this is enough stuff for my bridesmaids gifts, or should I get them something else too? I have heard a lot of opinions about bridesmaids gifts on here so I’m getting worried.

I have my sister as my MOH and my cousin as my only other bridesmaid.I got them a big scented candle from Etsy because I know they love candles (“crackling campfire” scent for the one who loves camping and “reading in the café” scent for the one who loves reading), pretty journals and pens (one is an English teacher and one is a journalist, so they will totally use these), and “champagne toast” -scented lotion and shower gel from Bath & Body Works. I also got them silk pajamas, a robe, slippers, and a necklace, but I know those don’t count as gifts. They were expensive, though!!
Is this enough, or should I get them one more thing? I tried really hard to get them things they would use!

    Seems enough to me! Write them a nice letter along with it and it’s perfect!

    I think all that sounds very thoughtful! The only other thing I would include is a handwritten thank you note, but otherwise, I think that's plenty!

    The gifts tailored to their hobbies are plenty. Because they're not wedding related. I would skip the robes and jewelry..save your money.

    That's plenty! Personally, I DO consider pjs sets and getting ready outfits as part of their gift!

    I think that sounds great! You're definitely right that the things for your pictures and wedding don't count as gifts, but the other two things are very thoughtful. If you did decide to do one more thing I would suggest a Target or Starbucks gift card Smiley smile Definitely not necessary though.

    Those all sound great, and definitely like enough! I'd love to be able to do that for my girls, but our budget is a bit too tight for it. I do love your thought process and how you've tried to make sure everything will be appreciated and useful!

    It seems like more than enough. I'm sure they are going to be very happy with their gifts.
