Bridal party gifts

We gave ours the day before the wedding, sort of middle of the day. The guys had helped H take stuff to the venue, and the ladies had taken me to get nails done, so everyone was there. I think a lot of people give them their stuff at the rehearsal though.

View Quoted Comment Ok. Thanks. Lol didn't think this would be something so hard to figure out. 🤭💜💜

We are doing it at the rehearsal dinner but you can do it whenever works. Giving gifts is totally my love language (not receiving them I feel so awkward getting them myself haha) but I m constantly picking up little gifts for people so I. m super excited to hand out the gifts to everyone playing a special part in our day. We are getting gifts for the bridal party, our readers, and our parents. Have fun!!!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you rosebud your the best💜

We gave our wedding party their thank you gifts after our bachelorette and bachelor parties, about three weeks before our wedding (as we included a few items that they may want to use/wear for our wedding). We gave our parents their gifts at the rehearsal dinner though.

We gave our wedding party members their gifts at the rehearsal dinner. Other ideas would be giving it to them at the reception, or the morning of the wedding, or at the bachelor/bachelorette parties (if only wedding party is attending).

View Quoted Comment Thanks Samantha, what do you think about the engagement party is that too early?

View Quoted Comment Ok I see if only wedding party is attending.
All this information is sooooo helpful. Thank you Lisa 💜

View Quoted Comment Thank you gifts are usually given close to or after your wedding. When is your engagement party?

I know several brides who did proposal boxes (in addition to more personalized gifts later on) to ask their bridesmaids just before or after their engagement party (I wouldn’t recommend asking and giving out the boxes at your engagement party if other guests are there, as your potential bridesmaids may feel pressured to say yes and/or others may feel left out). Proposal boxes are a relatively new trend, and often include bridesmaid/wedding-themed items, monogram items, or small gifts. I decided to skip this, as most of these items wouldn’t be used very often or at all.

I plan on giving them gifts the day of, primarily because I got them matching wine glasses, personalized cookies, etc. and I thought it'd be a fun moment for the photographer to snap photos of. It totally depends on what you're getting them and if you want it to be an intimate moment or a public display of affection ♡ If intimate, I'd say go with wedding rehearsal or wedding day. If public, then Bachelorette party would work. Hope this helps!

View Quoted Comment It does help I think I'll plan on handing them out at the Bach party. Thank you.

We have our bridal party their gifts the day of the wedding bc didn’t have a rehearsal dinner. It worked out for us giving it to them when got together for the getting time for the wedding. My husband didn’t have a bachelor party bc he really didn’t want one and he is not a real party man. Also the groomsmen were out of town but my mom did give me a little gathering and I didn’t think to give to them then. You can give it during rehearsal dinner or bachelor party.

View Quoted Comment Thanks. I think that's what I'll do.

View Quoted Comment Cool! Have a happy, beautiful and blessed wedding day

Typically gifts are given at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.

I'm curious. what to budget for the gifts? .. I know every wedding comes in different shapes & sizes, but I was just curious on average what people are doing. I don't want it to be too little... but given my love language maybe I'm overdoing it and thinking it's not enough
