Best ever bridesmaids/groomsmen gifts?

My favorite gift was from a Halloween wedding. The bride got us all Halloween/spooky themed necklaces. They were all 24 karat gold and had a small jewel in it. Each one was different, and was tailored to us. And she nailed it, because we all compared our necklaces, and we all agreed that we would have chosen exactly the one she gave us! The wedding was over 5 years ago, and I still wear my necklace all the time.

Not going to lie my favourite thing was the fancy chocolates and mini champagne bottle, lol!

Honestly, I think what I would have liked and which most of my friends did do - was a photo of the bridal party/us all together with the bride and groom given to us after the wedding.

Really, when you're such close friends there's actually not much need for a gift in my opinion (but that's partially because here, the couple pay for just about everything from dress to shoes, makeup, hair, accommodation, transport etc) so all I really want as a bridesmaid is to enjoy the day with the bride who is incandescently happy and excited, and so pleased I'm sharing it with her - that's the greatest gift of all.

My favorite gift was a Tory Burch wallet that’s very much my style, given to me by my BFF who has similar style and obviously knows me very well.
I also have enjoyed a zip up hoodie with my first initial on it. It was given as getting ready attire but I definitely don’t consider it a photo prop. It’s super versatile and great for throwing over gym clothes for chilly walks to/from the car!
Nothing I gave my girls had any names or titles on it except the cards I gave them in their proposal gifts.

Best gift I’ve received was a nice Vera Bradley tote. Whenever I got compliments on it, I would say “thanks! It was a BM gift,” and people would comment on what a great gift it was, so I got Vera bags for my bridal party too. I’ve gotten so many delayed thank yous for them, and have seen them in use by my party multiple times. I ordered the “get carried away” totes for my girls when they were on sale, and they’re a great size for all kinds of travel. Highly recommend!

Not making me pay to be IN the wedding. Dress, hair and makeup.
