Say Thank You in Style: Bridesmaid Gift Ideas They’ll Adore
Selecting gifts for your bridesmaids is all about showing appreciation for all of their support during your wedding journey. A great gift is thoughtful, practical, and something that your bridesmaids will hold onto and use beyond the wedding day. You can opt for one great gift, but it’s also a great idea to put together a themed gift basket, get creative and have fun. Whether you decide on a beautiful piece of jewelry, must-have travel essentials, self care products, or wedding day necessities, there’s a great gift for everyone in your bridal party.
JEWELRY
Jewelry is a classic go to bridesmaid gift. Consider something that can be worn during the wedding but also pieces that they’ll want to wear on their own for other occasions. A simple pair of pearl earrings, or a necklace or bracelet that they can stack with other jewelry are great ideas. Jewelry is also great because it allows for a little individuality, you don’t have to get everyone the same piece! It’s always fun to create a themed gift set. For instance if you’re gifting a piece of jewelry, maybe include a jewelry travel case, a jewelry box, or jewelry dish.
REST AND RELAXATION
A gift doesn’t have to be a physical item, nothing says thanks for being there like a relaxing massage! While you’re off on your honeymoon, your bridesmaids can be on their own mini staycation with a little spa treatment. Or set them up for a nice day at home, a cute gift basket with candles, bath products, a custom eye mask, slippers, and robe, these are things that they’ll be able to use long after the wedding.
FOR THE GLOBETROTTER
For friends who have the travel bug, or for a bridal party heading to a destination wedding, there is an array of great gift ideas. Keep them organized with a custom passport cover, luggage tags, cord organizer, or a cute and functional toiletry bag. You can help them capture the memories with a travel journal, ticket stub diary, or a push pin travel map. Or keep them comfortable on the go with a compact travel blanket, eye mask, and neck pillow set. Any of these essentials will make any journey more enjoyable.
FOR THE HOMEBODY
Get your bridal party ready for a comfy day at home with these thoughtful gift ideas. Customized coasters are both practical and stylish, making them a great addition to any coffee table. You could also give them a personalized puzzle customized with a fun or hilarious photo from the bachelorette party. To add to the theme, throw in a coloring book and a set of colored pencils, like this fun cocktail recipe coloring book. Why not add in a cute pair of fuzzy socks, or a super soft throw blanket to keep them warm while they curl up on the couch.
BRIDAL PARTY WEDDING ESSENTIALS
And finally you can't go wrong with keeping to the classic bridesmaid gift theme, the wedding day essentials. Consider thoughtful gifts that are great for the day of photo ops, but also wonderful to take home. For instance, a beautiful robe or pajamas is a great choice. I can honestly say I still use my robe from the wedding I was in years ago. You could get them monogrammed or get everyone a slightly different pattern or color to mix and match. If it’s an outdoor wedding, a great pair of matching sunglasses for everyone is a great idea. Keep it practical with mini emergency kits. Stock them with things like stain remover, safety pins, bobby pins, tissue, and so forth. Pack it all into a cute drawstring backpack or tote they can use later.
No matter what you choose, keeping it thoughtful and meaningful will lead to a great bridesmaid gift. Whether it’s a classic piece of jewelry, a tranquil spa experience, or something that reflects their individual interests, your bridesmaids will love a gift that feels special to them. It’s okay to think outside the box, you know your bridal party best. These gifts are a way to thank your closest friends for being part of your big day and making unforgettable memories with you. Keep that in mind and you’ll be on the right track!
