 Bridesmaids are your closest friends and family that give it their all to help your day be everything you've been dreaming it would be. They help organize all of the celebration parties along the way, handmake decorations, and help with the wedding set up. A gift is a way to thank them for being there with you and for them to look back on your big day with sweet memories. In this post, we're answering common questions and offering inspiration for bridesmaid gifts. Are Bridesmaid Gifts Necessary?Yes, bridesmaid gifts are a way to say thank you to those closest to you that have put in the time, expense, and effort to make your wedding day a success. Also, it's a memento of the special event to remember the big occasion. Do You Get Your Maid of Honor an Extra Gift?The maid of honor is your right-hand gal. She's organizing the bridal party, your designated dresser, and handling anything else that may come up. It's because of her increased role engagement that when looking for the maid of honor gifts, you may want to look for an elevated one from the bridesmaid gifts. There doesn't need to be two gifts. How Much Do You Spend on Bridesmaid Gifts?An average amount is between $75 and $150, depending on your budget. Another way to evaluate your spending range is to take 10-20% of their costs on your wedding day and try to spend something in that realm. As noted in the above question, when thanking your maid of honor, her gift should be more elevated as she plays a more significant role. At the same time, be mindful of the differences you don't want too big of a gap between the maid of honor and bridesmaid gifts. For tighter budgets, remember as long it's from the heart, they'll appreciate the sentiment. A heartfelt note of thanks, along with the gift, will add to its worth as well. When to Give Your Bridesmaids Their Gifts?Two great opportunities to give the bridesmaids their gifts are at the bachelorette party and the rehearsal dinner. Opting for the day of the wedding can be chaotic, it's one more thing for you to worry about, and they'd have to keep up with it. Plus, you may be gifting them something to wear for the occasion. If this is the case, it might be best to gift at the rehearsal dinner to limit the time to misplace anything. What Gifts Do You Give to Bridesmaids?This is a special thank you present, so personal, unique, or luxurious options are good to look for. It's also a keepsake for the wedding, so anything with their name and role on it would be an appropriate option as well. Do be careful of gifting props for your wedding. While they make for great photos, slippers labeled bridesmaid on the top may not be the way you want to say thank you. However, some gifts can serve a dual purpose, a robe with their monogram makes both pretty pictures and a personal gift for them to enjoy.
