Treat Your Bridesmaids

Give your girls something special. After all that they have done for you, they deserve it. Brides often pay for their bridesmaids jewelry or shoes, pay for them to get their nails or hair done as their gifts. Also, brides commonly buy their bridesmaids clutches, a picture frame, a flask, or a tote. Your girls deserve something special, so surprise them with a gift they would never expect. Here are some ideas of some unique gifts that your bridesmaids are sure to love.

A Personalized Vase

There are numerous options for making sure this gift is unique. The vases can be painted each girls favorite color, they can be engraved with their initials or a special message, or they can be printed with a photo of the two of you.

A Wine Stopper

If you're willing to spend the extra money, buy them each a bottle of their favorite wine to go with the stopper.

Sunglasses

This is an especially nice gift for a summer wedding. The fun part is, then you can take pictures in them too!

Personalized Make-up Bag/Clutch

This is a common gift for bridesmaids, but make it special by having a personalized message sewn into the the lining of the bag. The message can be a simple thank you, or a special message only she would understand. 

Perfume

If you are willing to spend a little more on each girl, buy them each a bottle of their favorite perfume. They can spritz it on right before your wedding and every day after that.

Something Unique and Special for Each Girl

You can also give each girl something different, for each of their individual interests (keep it around the same price range). If one bridesmaid loves working out, get her headphones in her favorite color, a personalized water bottle, etc. If one bridesmaid loves reading, get her the next book in her series, a personalized bookmark, etc. If one bridesmaid loves cooking, get her a cookbook, a personalized apron, etc. Giving each girl something unique for them will show how much you really thought about each of their gifts and how much you truly appreciate them being a part of your special day.

Spoil your Maid of Honor with something in addition to your basic bridesmaid gift. She has been there for you through the whole journey; make sure you show her how much you appreciate all she has done for you. 

A Gift Certificate for a Massage

You weren't the only one stressed about your wedding, your maid of honor will need to de-stress after the big day too!

Something She Needs/Wants

Between your wedding shower, bachelorette party, wedding gift, wedding day and everything else, odds are your Maid of Honor spent a decent amount of money. Maybe she put off buying the new dish set she needs or a new designer handbag she has been waiting to buy, in order to have the money for your big day. Buying her something she needs or just really wants is the perfect way to say thank you for all she has done. Help her out like she helped you, and I can guarantee she will never forget this gift.

Something She Loves

Just like with the bridesmaids, think about what your Maid of Honor likes to do. If she loves to work out, pay for a class for the two of you to take together. If she loves music, go to a concert with her. If she loves sports, go to a game together. Doing something she loves with her, shows her how much you care about her and lets you have some fun after the stress of the wedding is over.  

With each special gift, many brides also give their bridesmaids a "Wedding Day Survival Kit". Not only should your girls have a kit, you should too! Our next blog post will include essentials for these kits, as well as a few additional things to include.
