When to give bridal party their gifts?

I am planning on giving gifts out during the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Mainly because I figure that the morning of the wedding is going to be super busy with getting ready & taking pictures etc. I don't want to be rushing around &/or worrying whether or not everyone received their presents.

I've had people give gifts at rehearsal and morning of, it's just your personal preference! I personally preferred getting it at the rehearsal because then I could keep everything in one bag the day of (versus having another thing to keep track of)

View Quoted Comment Hmm I didn’t think of that. That’s a very good point

They are customarily given at the rehearsal dinner

I'm definitely doing it the morning of. For me it just seems for intimate and personal to share that moment between just the bride and her party. I've definitely heard of others doing it during the rehearsal dinner as well. The choice is ultimately up to you.

I gave my girls their gifts the morning of while we were getting ready for hair/makeup. There was so much else going on during the rehearsal dinner so the morning of worked better for me!

Absolutely!

I am doing mine the day of because I think it will be more personal that way. I am giving my bridesmaids jewelry to wear the day of, so I also that the timing would be better than if I gave it to them at the rehearsal dinner

I gave mine the morning of the wedding, when I’ve always traditionally received mine as a bridesmaid.
