Make It Personal
Choosing the perfect bridal party gift should take some thought. Think about who is receiving the gift and make it personal to your relationship. Not everyone’s gift has to the be the same. In fact, we encourage personalized items such as bridesmaid robes with names or monograms. We also love seeing personalized tote bags or jewelry dishes that show the extra thought by having it custom made for each of your girls. Etsy is a great resource for personalized wedding items.
Show Your Appreciation
A little letter goes a long way. There is something about a handwritten letter or card that gives us the warm fuzzies inside. In this digital era, showing your appreciation with handwritten words truly shows how much you care about someone. Not to mention, letters are a keepsake that can be revisited again and again. Talk about your inside jokes, why that person is important to you, and why you need them by your side while you experience your wedding day. Put your letter in a keepsake box so they can keep their memories safe. Just make sure you give out letters before everyone has their makeup done to avoid running mascara!
Don’t Get Carried Away!
Bridal party gifts don’t have to be expensive or extra. Select a few items that your bridal party will be able to use in their daily lives. A pair of stud earrings are always a classic choice for earrings. We are big fans of “treat yourself” gifts like bath bombs, soaps, candles and a bottle of bubbly for a post-wedding spa night. This is also a great opportunity to DIY!
The Wedding Emergency Kit
We always encourage each bridesmaid to have a wedding day emergency kit in case something goes wrong. Your wedding planner will have a kit in tow, but it’s great to offer your girls some of the more personal items they can throw into their purse. Include items like deodorant, bobby pins, feminine products, safety pins, lip balm, a nail file, and make sure you don’t forget the Advil!
