As a wedding gifting professional, I always advise our brides to think of bridesmaid gifts in the following categories:
1. Something they can enjoy right away
The most popular bridesmaid's gifts are robes and champagne glasses, which don’t get me wrong - they are awesome gifts, but often don’t get used until the wedding day. Isn’t it nice to actually get a little treat when you receive a gift? Treat your girls with something they can use before your wedding, so they get excited to celebrate this special moment. This can include luxury chocolates, Champagne candy treats, mini Champagne bottles or wine!
2. Something they can enjoy during wedding planning parties
Such as personalized drinkware, trendy sunglasses, t-shirts or scrunchies. You can also gift them candles or beauty products for some self-care time! Everyone deserves extra pampering and especially your bridesmaids who have been there for you through many ups and downs. Options are endless, the goal here is to give them something practical which will make them feel special.
3. Something they can enjoy on the day of your wedding
If you wish to take getting-ready wedding photos with your bride tribe, it is nice to give them a package filled with a silky robe, champagne flute, pretty slippers, bridesmaid socks and even bridesmaid earrings! Everything you imagine them to wear and take photos of during “getting ready time” should be gifted to them from the bride. You can include these items in your bridesmaid proposal boxes or in your wedding day boxes, which you give out in the morning of your wedding.
Think of earrings, monogrammed necklaces, personalized jewelry boxes, or mini photo albums filled with your favourite memories, that they will treasure forever!
Don’t overthink it, this should be a fun and exciting part of your wedding planning. Hope you found here something that you like! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me atmichaela@myhandmadeweddingco.com or send me DM on our Instagram at @myhandmadeweddingco
