Your bridesmaids will form a big part of your wedding. Of course, it’s not just the wedding itself they will be involved in, but also the planning of the day and the bachelorette party. They end up providing you with a great deal of support, so it’s important that you recognize their help by giving them thoughtful gifts.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be expensive. With so many other things you need to spend money on, don’t feel you have to spend a fortune to show your appreciation. As they say, it’s the thought that counts, and it is often the most personal gifts that make the best impression.
If you are stuck for what to get, read on for some fun gift ideas for your bridesmaids.
Bridesmaid Boxes
If you like to get creative, then why not try making your girls personalized bridesmaid boxes? You can make a personalized box for each one, containing gifts, photographs, information about the wedding, or anything else you can think of.
A fun way to personalize it, without spending a lot of money, is to include some photographs of your favorite memories together. You can also add some details on what role you would like them to play during your wedding, a color palette for the bridesmaid dresses and some examples of dresses you like.
It’s a great way of making them feel like a special part of your big day and even helps you to stay organized. Tailor the boxes to suit your theme or color scheme by painting it or including other decorative touches.
Customized Jewelry
Jewelry is a popular gift choice for bridesmaids, but if you want to get something unique, then get them something that has been made especially for them. You can either choose personalized jewelry from somewhere like Etsy, such as a bracelet or necklace with their initial on it, or design your own jewelry.
Designing the necklaces for each of your bridesmaids is a great way of personalizing the gift to suit the style of each person, while keeping it to the theme of the wedding. You can design it in a way that perfectly compliments their bridesmaid dress and the color scheme at your wedding.
Pamper Gifts
Everyone loves getting pampered, so why not spoil your bridesmaids with a relaxing pamper gift set? You can either treat everyone to a fun day at a spa or go down the DIY route and create a pamper experience right at home.
You can also create your own pamper gift set and include things like a face mask, nail polish and nail file, a bath bomb, or lovely hand cream. It’s a great way to spoil your bridesmaids, without having to spend a fortune.
Gifts for the Big Day
A nice way to unite your bridesmaids and have fun together at the wedding is to get them gifts they can use on the big day. One popular option is getting personalized robes with their name on it that they can wear while they get ready together.
Not only is this a lovely item they can treasure for years, but it is also great to wear for getting pictures taken together. Other ideas include personalized makeup bags, sunglasses, or hangers for the dresses.
Your bridesmaids will want to celebrate the big day, so it might be a good idea to create a hangover kit for after the wedding or bachelorette party. You can buy hangover, or survival, kits from Etsy, or you can make your own version. In it, you can include a bottle of water, bandages, gum, Tylenol, and hair ties.
Just remember: you don’t have to spend a fortune to give your bridesmaids a truly special gift.
