Is this enough??

Daisey, on June 16, 2020 at 6:18 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

I've been reading a lot of forums trying to come up with the best bridesmaid gifts for my girls. For the proposal I'm thinking of giving them wine tumblers, mini Prosecco, a nice dainty necklace, a leather personalized luggage tag (we're having a stateside "destination" wedding since our friends/family are from all over), a personal written card, and maybe a gift card to their favorite store/place/restaurant.

I know weddings can be expensive, even for bridesmaids so I would love to help my girls out in any way I can. I'm considering paying for Hair and Makeup and hotel accommodations (or maybe their dress might be better?) . I won't be dictating how their hair/makeup needs to be, I just want them to have fun getting dolled up. I know it's not something physical, but I want it to be something tangible/useful for them. Of course, I'll be writing them thank you cards as well. Would you consider this a gift or something "required for the wedding"?

Thanks in advance!!

    That sounds like more than enough!(: I did a bridesmaids box of like Mickey ears, a cute tumbler, and a card plus an inexpensive but individual gift for each of them. It was really well thought out at the time but I honestly don’t remember them now.

    That sounds really nice - however i think for the hair and make up, maybe offer something else ? personally i am not into doing hair or make up aha so i don't think i'd want to use any of those services but something like getting nails done altogether sounds nice.

    What you're planning to give is more than generous. There is no right or wrong but the general consensus is to avoid anything personalized with "bridesmaid" or intended to be used at the wedding (jewelry, etc) since that is for you, not them. Basically shop for them based on personal interests like it's their birthday. But you don't have to spend alot of money or have a big care package either, if it cuts into your budget.
