Thanking your Bridesmaids

Bridesmaid Gifts

In recent times, many couples choose to forgo wedding favours for guests. Often wedding favours can be left behind by guests and you could potentially be wasting some of your wedding budget. However there are some gifts that you can’t afford to skip!

The wedding party usually receive gifts from the couple as a token of appreciation. These don’t have to be large, extravagant gifts. It really is the thought that counts. Your bridesmaids are going to be on hand to help you on one of the biggest days of your life. They will be there to zip you up, zip you down, supervise toilet breaks, provide tissues and always answer you when you ask the all important question “Is my makeup/hair OK?”.

Today, we have rounded up a few bridesmaid gift suggestions from the team at WeddingDates HQ that will give your bridesmaids something special to remember the big day by.

Jewelry

Jewelry is always a winner with the ladies! Check out the cool letter necklaces above, you wouldn’t have to spend anything extra on personalizing the gifts. Lots of couples give their bridesmaids simple and pretty necklaces or bracelets. If your friends like them, Alex & Ani bracelets would make really nice gifts.

Relax, take it easy!

Another popular gift is to give your bridesmaids a voucher for a spa trip for a facial or a massage. You’re not the only one who became stressed in the run up to the big day! A nice, relaxing day out is always a memorable gift. You could all meet up after your treatments and have a cocktail evening. Why not make a day of it?

Something different…

We really love this unique idea from Memeoirs. They will gather your online content and conversations in surrounding the big day and make a really cool book with it! You could have one for each of your bridesmaids…
