Your bridesmaids have stood by you during all that grueling wedding planning, and it’s time to show your appreciation for your bridal party for all that they have done. Express your appreciation for all their support by presenting gifts to your bridesmaids that speak louder than words and will be a constant reminder of your endearing friendship. There are many unique bridesmaid gifts which are not only unique and memorable, but don’t have to cost a small fortune.
A great gift idea is a photo frame, whether it is engraved or non-engraved. You can find a variety of frames both online and in local stores. Include a picture of both of you inside, or a picture of your entire bridal party. Women love displaying photos and a photo frame is lasting, memorable and most of all, reasonably priced.
If you want to pamper your bridesmaids a bit, rather than sending them to a spa for a day, send them home with a lasting spa kit. You can make this yourself or purchase one already available on the market. Simply purchase a personalized toiletry bag and fill it with goodies. You can fill it with a manicure and pedicure kit, shower gel, bath salts, a sachet, a candle – even spa slippers. This is an inexpensive idea which can be highly customized to your bridesmaid’s favorite scent.
Another idea is give them something practical they can use every day. Engraved key chains, a vase, a trinket box which they can keep their jewelry in, paperweights, lighters or drinking glasses are practical gifts which won’t break the bank.
Finally, jewelry gifts which are inexpensive but meaningful will always be appreciated by your girls. There are many inexpensive options all under thirty dollars which do not look inexpensive. The Swarovski Circle of Friendship Bracelet, necklace or earrings is a perfect example of this. All three items are available engraved with your bridesmaid’s initial and are around twenty dollars each. Each is adorned with gorgeous Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls.
If you still aren’t sure what to get your girls, think about their hobbies and interests. If you purchase something that reflects each bridesmaid’s personality and style, you will have found them the perfect gift of friendship and gratitude. Do not stress over the price of your bridesmaid gifts, give what you can afford. Your bridesmaids have stood by your side, not for the gift they will receive, but because they love the person they are standing up for.
