When do you give your bridesmaids their gift?

I've always seen it done at the rehearsal dinner. But I don't see why you couldn't do it on the wedding day.

I did it at the rehearsal dinner. If you do it on the wedding day, that's just one more thing for them to keep track of.

I've only ever received these at the RD, but I don't see why you can't do it day-of. As Beth said, it is just one more thing for them to keep track of if you do it on the wedding day.

I've received BM gifts both ways, at RD and day of. The ones I received the day of were things we actually used/wore that day. (Robe, jewelry, etc)

I think whatever works best for you is fine. Less stress for you is the best way to go!

ETA - And welcome to WW, Sandy! Have you done an intro yet? I know your wedding is soon, but we would love to get to know a little more about you! And consider changing your avatar, too!

I received BM gift during the Bach party, it was the day before the RD and it was nice since it was only us.

I gave my MOH and another BM their gifts a few days before the wedding. I gave the other two BMs their gifts at the rehearsal dinner.

We gave our BMs and GMs their gifts on the day of, practically speaking worked out better for me and them. PLUS that way the photographers were there to capture their reactions to the gifts.

We'll be giving our WP their gifts the day of but they are all things they will be using the day of, like slouchy sweatshirts for the girls. Plus we're doing a rehearsal dinner/pre-party so that won't work out well with the plans.

I gave them their gifts the night before. We did not have a RD, but we had a girls night sleepover and I presented them at that time. DH gave his guys their gifts at the end of the reception (he forgot to do it prior).

Typically it's done at the RD. You could always change it if a specific gift made more sense to be given a different time. Like if you were giving them something they would use during planning you could do it at the shower (esp if they planned the shower then it could be a hostess gift) or if it's something to use on the day of the wedding like something to wear beforehand or jewelry then that could work. I personally wouldn't give big gift bags full of stuff (or really any gift that could be given another day) on the day of because then they have to keep track of where it is and worry about losing it.

Does it have to be on the Rehersal Dinner? Or can you give it to them sooner than that?

I bought my girls and both mothers their gifts over the summer but last week I decided not to give it to them until after the wedding. I want to spend time with each one and really thank them for their support. Needless to say my gifts are in no way wedding related.
