Your bride tribe is important to you and they should be! They’ve helped you through dress selection, wedding planning, and have been there along every step of your relationship. It’s natural to want to give them a thank you gift on your big day, but what gift expresses your level of appreciation?
Here are 15 gift ideas for the best bridal party out there.
Bridal Party Gift Ideas
1.) Silk Pajamas
This is the perfect gift for that group of ladies that is staying at a hotel with you the night before the big day or for those destination weddings where the bride tribe is staying in your air bnb with you! You can even go as far as to customize these comfy pajamas with a monogram or your bridesmaid’s name.
2.) Tumblers
There is never a bad time for wine and you may want a glass or two the night before your wedding consider getting customer tumblers for your ‘I Do’ crew to enjoy their juice all night.
3.) Candles
I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who didn’t appreciate a good smelling candle. You can find beautiful smelling candles that allow customizations on Etsy. Even when the party is over your bridesmaids will be able to relax, enjoy their personalize candle, and think of the special day they got to share with you. A smell good, and thoughtful gift.
4.) Weekend Bag
Weekend bags are such a fun gift in which you can pick custom colors and add personalization, such as monograms or nicknames. Most importantly this is a gift your best gals will use over and over again. This is also a great gift for my destination wedding babes
5.) Personalized Journal
If you’re ladies love to write things down or if your tribe does a daily journal/devotion/gratitude practice this is a great gift for them. To add a special touch you can even fill the first few pages with a personalized ‘Thank you’ letter to each bridesmaid.
6.) Spa Day Gift Basket
If you’ve spent the last year being a little bit of a bridezilla (it’s your big day no judgement from us!!!) then a spa day gift basket could be the perfect gift your ladies. Be sure to include a small candle, bath salts, beautifully molded soap, and dried flowers, for just a few ideas.
7.) Ring Dish
A ring dish, or a bling dish as I like to call them, is perfect as a single item gift or a apart of a larger box. You can find beautiful assortments and can even get them personalized if you so choose. Should you chose to go with a larger box this can be paired with #8.
8.) Personalized Jewelry
This can be anything from monogramed necklaces, to beaded “friendship bracelets”, to a a basic Pandora bracelet and their first charm. The cool thing about personalized jewelry is, well, it’s personal.
9.) Engraved Flask
There are very few times where having a flask handy is a bad idea. You can find beautiful gold, silver, rose gold flasks that can have your bridesmaid’s name etched into it. A beautiful, classy, and purposeful gift that ensures your girl’s never have a dull moment
10.) Diffusers and Aromatherapy Box
A relatively simple gift for your favorite homebodies. This gift promotes relaxation for your crew and can even be nicely paired with a bottle of wine, some chocolates, cozy socks, and a comfy throw blanket. Can we say, ‘hello to a night of peace and relaxation?’
11.) Photo Book
This is for all of my sentimental brides who love to take photos. You can gift your bridesmaids with a photo book documenting your best memories together. This book can be tailored to each bridesmaid, or you can schedule a fun photo shoot with your crew pre-wedding and give them a book of those photos. At the very least be sure to include a page of a personal thank you letter for each individual bridesmaid.
12.) Robe and Slippers
Like the pajama’s idea, being cozy and comfy is never a bad gift to give. This is a great option as an individual gift or as a part of a larger set. It’s also perfect for taking group photos the day of your wedding and making sure everyone is comfortable in hair and make-up
13.) Personalized Clutches
There are some really great personalize-able clutch options out there and let’s face it your girls need a cute bag to carry their flask in! This is also an option that you know will get used again and again. You can’t beat a reusable gift.
14.) Gift Card to the Spa
The only thing better than a DIY at home spa box, is an actual trip to the spa. This is a pricier option as there is not a single “inexpensive” service at a nice spa. This is a splurge gift that’s perfect for the ladies that helped you DIY all of your centerpieces so you could save a few dollars here and there.
15.) Wine and Cheese Box (other themed boxes)
A wine and cheese box or another themed box such as, themed coffee, tea, chocolate, etc. Themed boxes can be pretty easy to pull together especially if each bridesmaid gets the same box. After all you don’t have to go over the top with your gift, your crew knows you love them!
Conclusion
The best part about these gifts is that you can mix and match any of these options, and they do well as standalone gifts as well. Whatever you chose to gift your bride tribe make sure it’s from your heart and truly expresses your gratitude for them being on this journey with you. They are your bridesmaids today, but they are your sisters forever.
