Hi! In this post I want to discuss bridal party gifts both ahead of the wedding and for the day of from the perspective of wedding planners. First and foremost bridal party gifts are an extra and are in no way a requirement for the couple to give! They can be something fun and add to the day and pictures but they are completely optional so do not feel like this is something you need to spend a lot of you budget on!
Why Bridal Party Gifts?
Day of gifts for the bridal parties can be something fun for everyone and for pictures. Some brides really like the bridal party to have matching robes or PJs for getting ready, if so it is a nice touch to give these to the bridesmaids day of or the night before. It’s a fun way to get everyone in the partying and prepping mood for the big day! Also matching robes/PJs also make cute pictures! Another way to give day of gifts is if you would like everyone in the bridal party to have something matching. For my groomsmen we gave them matching socks and ties in their day of gift boxes so that I knew everyone would be matching! It is also nice, if you have the option, to give these important people in your life something special as a way to show your appreciation for them being there for your big day! This can include more than bridesmaids/groomsmen; mothers, fathers, grandparents, ring bearers, flower girls, etc are all people would you could get a little something special for!
Ideas for Gifts
There are always some classic options like I already said above; robes, PJs, ties, socks, flasks, etc. But it can also be fun to get certain gifts that represent each person’s hobbies or something you all have in common. Are all the groomsmen into golfing? Get them some engraved tees! Are the girls all going something sunny for the bachelorette party? Get them some fun sun hats or fun neon fanny packs! There are so many different ideas that can make the whole experience fun and gifts that they can use again! One tip I would say it try to make sure that some of the gifts/items just have their names or a saying that is not wedding specific so they can wear them/use them again!
