Your bridesmaids play an important role in your wedding. They are there to help you with all the many tasks associated with wedding planning and the wedding day – be it helping with addressing the invitations to hosting parties, making toasts, and dancing at the wedding. So, how do you say thanks in a tangible and special manner to your bridesmaids? With a bridesmaids’ gift that expresses just that.
The bridesmaid’s gifts may be sentimental, silly, or significant as it is all about expressing to your bridesmaids that they are special to you and that you truly value them. They are more than just someone you went to school or camp with, they are in some form – be it by birth or by your choosing- your family. They are the people who have stood by your side sharing in the tears, the laughter, the work, and the play.
Selecting the Perfect Bridesmaids’ Gifts
Choosing the perfect bridesmaids’ gifts might feel a bit daunting. To help out, here are some ideas to help you determine what item(s) will be perfect bridesmaids’ gifts.
Monogrammed Items
Monogrammed bridesmaids’ gifts are one of the oldest wedding gift-giving traditions and goes back several centuries. Be it a necklace and pendant, an accessory such as a silk scarf or bag, wine glasses or travel mugs, monogrammed items are always popular bridesmaids’ gifts.
Alcohol-Related Items
Perhaps one of the most popular options- not to mention one of the easiest- is that of wine or liquor. You may choose to get each bridesmaid a bottle of their favorite wine, plan a wine tasting party, or have customized items such as cheese boards, wine glasses, shot glasses, or tumblers.
Customized ‘Boxes’
Whether you opt for a chic metal bin filled with items specific to each of your bridesmaids, or an elaborate basket or bag that contains items like chocolate, their favorite candies, perfume, lotion, candles, and other self-care items, a personalized gift box makes a great bridesmaids’ gift sure to make all the recipients smile.
