Many brides choose family members or longtime friends to be their bridesmaids., which ever one you choose, we know you appreciate them being there for you every time especially on your big day. A great way to say thank you to your girls is to surprise them with bridesmaids gifts and we’ve got a few ideas…
We have placed them into two categories for you:
A. Personalized:
Thank you notes– a hand written note never gets old and is always sentimental. There are many ways to make your sentiments known to your girls by having the notes specially prepared. Thank you notes can be done by the bride with her own hand writing as well as there are artisans that specialize in providing the hands that writer your words. These can always be accompanied by other tokens (jewelry etc).
Water bottles or wine glasses– wedding in the tropics means lots and lots of sun (for the most part) which results in your guests being hot and your and your girls are no different. Imagine your girls having to be there for your in the beautiful summer heat, one of the best offerings you could give them is personalized water bottles. In the same breath, it’s a time when your girls are helping you to celebrate one of the most beautiful times of your life and you know you cannot go wrong with popping some celebratory wine with the gals. Well, personalized wine glasses can be the icing on the cake for them. A mini celebration before the BIG celebration.
Bling– you can almost never go wrong with bling- bracelets, necklaces, earrings etc.
B. Useful:
For people like myself, I love gifts that are practical and useful (not saying that I wouldn’t love my wine glass & bling
Makeup bags and/or compact mirrors– are always a welcomed gift, makeup bags can never be too much- small enough for the occasion and big enough to take your favorite lip color and to hold your compact mirror.
Flip Flops (Sandals)– all that standing in sexy heels can make the girls feet weary, well you may gift them with some ultra chic sandals that can be worn for the reception or just for keepsake. Beach wedding?! you know you can always provide your bridesmaids with sandals for the day and guess what?! They can be personalized with their names.
Tote Bags– I love a good tote…one that is fashionable and useful. If you’re doing a destination wedding in Jamaica, then here’s a wonderful idea: hand crafted straw tote bags with personalized names and date of wedding or just have JAMAICA on it.
Your girls are true keepsakes and should be shown that in the best way possible. I trust this will provided you with some ideas to start with when thinking about gifting your best gal pals for being there for you on one of the most important days of your life.
Your girls will have your back on your big day so here’s to choosing and gifting them with LOVE!
