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!!
