Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

September 30, 2008

Bridesmaids and Maids and Matrons of Honor are a huge part of weddings. They are important women in the bride’s life that she chooses to stand by her on her big day. It’s important to show appreciation for them by giving them a well-chosen and meaningful gift.

You can choose to get everyone the same thing, get variations on a theme, or choose entirely different presents for each person depending on personality. Try to spend about the same amount on each present, except for the maid-of-honor's gift, which is typically more lavish than the others. Here are some ideas for gifts:

The Classic Gift
A classic bridesmaid gift is something she can wear on the wedding day, but still use later on. For example, a necklace, perhaps that matches the dress.


The Pamper-Her Gift
Which woman wouldn’t love to be pampered? Get her a gift basket full of lotions, soaps and other pampering items, or a gift certificate to a spa. Other fun and luxury gifts are: a box of deluxe chocolates that thanks her for all her help!

The Destination Gift
If you're having a destination wedding, a gift bag full of goodies to help them enjoy and remember their trip would be desirable. For example, a vineyard wedding can include a basket of fine wine, cheese and wine glasses, while a tropical wedding can include a beach towel, flip flops and sunscreen in a nice carry-all tote!

The Gift on a Budget
If you're on a budget and have the time, do-it-yourself gifts are perfect! You can do a personalized frame with a photo of the two of you, a scrapbook of your friendship or a personalized CD of songs you both love.

The Practical Gift
Gift the girls something they will love, but use time and time again! These include gifts such as travel bags, games, jewelry or apparel. Trust us- she'll thank you for it!
