Non bridesmaids attending bachelorette- do i get them a thank you gift?

Am, on June 19, 2019 at 7:44 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 11
Hi! I have friends who are attending the bachelorette who are not bridesmaids. Am I supposed to get them a gift to thank them? Or will a card suffice?

    I'm following this. I've never received any kind of thank you gift, bridesmaid and friend, from attending a bachelorette party.

    If you’re giving favor type gifts I would get them for everyone attending. If you’re just giving hostess gifts to those who are actually hosting the party, I wouldn’t worry about it.

    I had bridesmaids and non-bridesmaids attend my bachelorette (8 ladies total). The only gifts I gave were to the two people (MOH & good friend) that hosted the weekend getaway.

    I’ve been to a few bachelorette parties before both as a friend and a bridesmaid and I have never seen anyone give a gift to those that attended, nor do I think it’s necessary. Would you give a gift to someone who took you out for your birthday? I feel like it’s a similar situation. My girls will be getting overall thank you gifts for the entire bridesmaid process (dress, shower, bachelorette) at the rehearsal dinner

    I guess that’s what I mean. At the wedding I’m giving my bridesmaids a thank you gift for being a bridesmaid and doing all the bridesmaids things (buying a dress, going to the bachelorette, etc). Do I need to get a gift to give at wedding (were not having a rehearsal dinner) for the girls who attend the bachelorette party but aren’t bridesmaids?

    Yes that's what I did
    I had one non bridesmaid friend come and I gave her one tooFeels weird not to give anything to some people so it's better to do it all or none

    For the Bachelorette parties I've attended, everyone just got a "thank you" card. No gifts.

    No you do not need to give a thank you gift to the girls who attend your bachelorette party... thank you cards are sent out for bridal showers and for the wedding. I feel like the bachelorette party is where you can let loose and not worry so much about the formalities of the wedding and shower. These are your closest girlfriends have fun with them and celebrate 🎉

    I would get everyone the same gift or same price at least. I got each girl a wine tumbler & a hangover kit, and bought dinner the first night for everyone.

    I invited 2 non-bridesmaids to my bach in Vegas and they (as well as the BM's) are all getting big, personalized tumblers. I made them non-wedding colored to kind of separate the events though. I have personally never received a "thank you gift" to bach parties that I have attended but I am also aware that my girls spent good money to come and celebrate for the weekend with me. My MOH is doing something for them as well but I'm not sure what. I don't think it is necessary to do in general, but I think if you get something for the BM's it would be a little rude not to get something for the others. If you were just going to give thank you gifts to the BM's at the rehearsal and not at the bach, then I wouldn't worry about it.

    This is a party in your honor. You do not write any thank you note to people who attended. If some organized it, or individually paid your expenses ( not everyone splitting it), or had it at their home or vacation property, you write only those people who gave you a gift/ performed a service, a thank you note. And gifts are not called for at all. Likely you are giving each member of your wedding party a thank you gift at wedding time. You can mention the bach in your card, but give one ( perhaps bigger, your choice) gift, not here is one gift for this, one for that. Buy their gift as though it is their birthday or a holiday, personal choice for each woman. It is okay to spend a little more on someone who does many special extra things. Someone who did what others did, but also helped with DIY stuff, ferried VIP guests to and from airports, helped address invitations, designed and printed programs or invitations or thank you cards. But too many little gifts gets silly. Better one thing if greater value. Or a little memento everyone gets, then a real personal thank you gift.
