Bridesmaids Gifts

Saying a proper "thank you" is always important, no matter what the occasion. In the case of a wedding, showing your wedding party how grateful you are for their help is even more important because of the time and expense involved in their participation. If you have the time and the energy to find super personalized gifts for your gals, great. But if you're like most brides, you're going to want to go the traditional route when shopping for bridesmaids gifts.

What's traditional? When it comes to gifts for bridesmaids (and any other female attendants you may have) girly is usually the way to go. After all, when it comes right down to it, few things are more feminine than a wedding with all the gowns and the cake and the little presents. Here are a few ideas to help you thank your bridesmaids for being there for you.

  • Bag it up -- Personalized tote bags do double duty, serving first as wedding day emergency kits for the bridal party and then as beach or overnight bags for the bridesmaids. Totes come in all shapes, colors, styles, and sizes. For fun, try switching it up and giving each of your gals a different bag.
  • Drink it up -- Pink monogrammed flasks may seem a little frivolous, but they are a fun alternative to the usual makeup bags and keychains. You never know...the flasks might come in handy on a long wedding day!
  • Bling it up -- If you know your ladies' tastes, consider gifting them with bridesmaid jewelry that they can wear to the wedding and after the wedding. Remember this simple rule: Fewer rhinestones mean more chances to wear the jewelry again.
  • Tear it up -- And by it, we mean "the town." Give each of your 'maids a personalized bridesmaid shirt so everyone in the bar knows that it's your bachelorette party and they are your best friends.
