Thanking Your Bridesmaids

Melissa Sherman, on March 28, 2007 at 6:56 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 7

As everyone knows, being a bridesmaid is a lot of work and costs a lot of extra money. For that reason, it is common for the bride to get their bridesmaids gifts and/or take them out for the day or for a night. What ideas have you come up with? Where have you been taken, or what have you been given, as a bridesmaid?

    I gave my bridesmaids a little gift in addition to their makeup and hair for the wedding. I bought them a cute pajamas set along with fuzzy slippers. Super cute. I've seen people give jewelry, makeup compact, personalized gifts, pashmina wraps, etc.

    I think that personalized gifts are always the best. One idea would be to make a collage of photos or a photo album with the last one being of you and your bridesmaids at the wedding. Have something engraved on the frame or written in the album that is a personal note thanking them for always being there.

    I sell lia sophia jewelry and have had a number of hostesses who purchased jewelry items for their bridesmaids. For example, one hostess bought beautiful cz heart necklaces for all her bridesmaids that they could wear with their dresses and then keep after the wedding. Just something to think about.

    Hello -

    I am an Area Manager for Arbonne International and a lot of brides host a Spa Party for their bridesmaids so they can spend quality time together before the big event. We bring spa stations for the gals to move through: Deep Tissue Massages, Mini-Manicures, Sea Salt Scrub Station, foot scrub and soak, Facials and Mini-Makeovers.

    We bring a bartender with us and all the fixins for a really fun time that is relaxing and rejuvenating as well as a fun time for everyone. The bridesmaids take home an Awaken Sea Salt Scrub or a Hand Cream with them at the end of the party. I have even been asked on many occasions to do Sea Salt Scrubs at the actual Wedding Reception for the guests. People love them and it just adds a unique and awesome touch to the wedding that people remember. I also do Beauty Gift baskets filled with skincare and cosmetics for the bridesmaids. It's the ultimate thank you gift for the gals who are closest to you.

    Greetings,

    I am a representative for Bs Purses, and think that cute, sassy bags are a great gift and the bridesmaids will get a lot of mileage and use of these great, cute bags.

    B’s Purses are fashionable, fun, and totally customizable. You can CUSTOMIZE purses, totes, business portfolios, diaper bags, back packs, luggage, cosmetic bags, with a wide selection of colors, fabrics, ribbon & trim, handles, shapes and sizes plus monogramming.

    Great idea if your bridesmaids love houndstooth, leopard, or retro polka dots. You can order online or schedule a purse party where your friends can come and see examples of bags, and I'll have refreshments, music, etc. anything you would like to customize your party. Here is the information on how it works and how to order:

    You can have monogrammed miniature photo albums, address books, date planners or journals.

    I, too, have a WeddingWire storefront... you'll see large albums but I can make miniature ones that are around 3" x 5" in bookcloth, designer paper or fabric. You can choose the fabrics and monogram style and ink color.
