Bridal party hangers?

Jessica, on October 26, 2015 at 11:14 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 11

So I am wanting to get those cute hangers that say Bride and such for me & my bridesmaids because I think they photograph well and make good gifts. My questions about this are do you think my bridesmaids would prefer they say their names versus bridesmaid on them? Also, I was thinking about getting some for the groom and groomsmen but they are kinda girly... so I don't think they would use them even for the wedding. Lol. I know they wouldn't at home but again, I think they photograph well. What does everyone think??

    I would say that the guys wouldn't really enjoy them. As far as the name goes, feel them out & see what they say.

    If you want the photographs then do it - but know that it isn't a "gift" if the entire reason for giving it is as a prop. It feels even more prop like if it says "bridesmaid" on it to me - I would put their first name.

    It's your wedding day, do what you want. If you want to personalize the hangers with the ladies names, then do it. I think it would be cute if it had a name on it instead of just saying bridesmaid because it adds a personal touch.

    It makes a good photo op but I wouldn't consider it a gift. I mean, how often do you use a personalized hanger? Since you have a photo vision though, I would get them with whatever you prefer ( bridesmaid or their name).

    If you are going to give them to them, then I'd probably go with the names. It will add a personal touch to the pictures, and it's those personal touches that are unique to the couple that help make your photographs so memorable.

    I wouldn't include it as part of their gift since it's not like it'll be displayed again. But if you're going to buy them for a photo op, I think I'd prefer my name instead of bridesmaid if I was in their shoes.

    Names. They'll always be them, they won't always be bridesmaids. But everyone else is right; it's not techincally a gift if you're buying them for your photo opp.

    Definitely names over "Bridesmaid". FYI - I was REALLY into these, thought they were adorable, and spent money on them, and we basically didn't use them. The wire is usually pretty bendable, and they're hard to pack and snag on all kinds of things. If I did it over, I just would have got mine for the wedding dress and nto a full set.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I decided to to my bridesmaids first names on them and they are going to be engraved versus in the wire since there were concerns about the wire ones being too fragile from many. I am going to give the hangers to the girls after but only as an extra gift they'll still get things like a robe, bracelets etc. I know I won't have a purpose for personalized hangers after so figured they'd be a nice bonus. I wanted to do one for the groom and groomsmen but didn't think he'd use it and think his guy friends would make fun of him so I nixed that idea. Smiley smile

    I would say have there names instead just because they'll only be a bridesmaid that day. And I don't thing the guys would enjoy them. Here is a picture of mine and one of my bridesmaids. My girls loved them!!

    I wouldn't get them for the guys. My cousin makes these and surprised me with some for all of the bridesmaids and my mom the night before the wedding! The bridesmaids ones all said their names, my mom's said "mother of the bride" and mine obviously said "Mrs. new last name". They made for a great photo op!
