What To Consider When Getting Bridesmaid Gifts
Much like wedding gifts, there are a few things to consider when choosing the perfect bridesmaid gifts. First, decide if you're going to get one standard group gift or individualize each present. Either way, the next step obviously is to think about what they enjoy.
If they are all avid readers, consider getting them personalized bookmarks or journals. For fashionistas, trendy jewelry or clutches might be appreciated. You can also never go wrong with gifting something that can be used on the big day, like pretty robes or champagne flutes.
It's also important to consider your budget when selecting gifts for your bridal party. There's no need to break the bank, but you want to make sure they feel appreciated. A good rule of thumb is to spend around $50 per person. With this budget, you can still get creative and find thoughtful gifts that will be cherished long after the wedding is over.
Budget Friendly Bridesmaid Gifts
If you decide to go more budget friendly there are plenty of ways to show your bridesmaids how much you appreciate them without breaking the bank.
Here are a few budget friendly bridesmaid gift ideas that will have them feeling loved and appreciated.
-
A heartfelt thank you card is always a nice touch and it's free! You can also make DIY gifts such as homemade candles, bath bombs, or soaps.
-
If you're crafty, you can even make personalized pins or keychains.
-
If you want to go the store-bought route, consider giving each bridesmaid a cute mug or stemless wine glass with their name on it.
-
You could also fill a basket with fun items like scented candles, body lotions, and gourmet chocolate.
Grabbing $20 worth of small cute gifts in a basket is a nice gesture. It can also be items they may need on the day of the wedding. There is no need to go over the top expensive if you are already stressed from the other wedding expenses.
Unique Gifts For Every Type of Bridesmaid
Every bridesmaid is different. So, given you have the time and resources it may be better to get them each something individually rather than purchase sets of the same gift for all of them. It's important to think outside the box and choose something that truly reflects their personality and style. Here are a few general bridesmaid gift ideas to get you started:
-
For the fashionista: A designer handbag or scarf.
-
For the beauty lover: A luxurious skincare set or custom perfume.
-
For the jet-setter: A personalized travel journal or monogrammed luggage tag.
-
For the homebody: A cozy throw blanket or scented candles.
-
For the foodie: A gourmet cookbook or a subscription to a food delivery service.
No matter what you choose, make sure to include a heartfelt note expressing your gratitude for everything they've done leading up to your big day! Now here are more specific options:
