Not another bridesmaid gift idea post

Those are not gifts though as a thank you for all of the time/money/emotional investment they have put into being an attendant. The same way that robes/pjs/jewelry/hair/makeup/dresses/shoes/proposal boxes are not gifts. They are essentially props for you. Definitely do not get names/titles/initials on anything.

You really should not be asking anyone you are not super close to to be your bridesmaid. I find it difficult to believe that someone’s own relative has no clue what their interests are. How did you meet them and what interests do you have in common that will work as a gift? Of the ones you are close to, what are their interests and hobbies? Gifts should be based on their individual interests.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 You are me and I am you...it's the ending for me LOL! Love this post...so I'm totally the same and this is EXACTLY something I'm still stuck on. So a few months back I sent out these little this or that cards to them so they could select their interest, fav color, food, etc. It definitely helped in giving me some direction but I think treating it like a birthday is the best advice. My one friend loves the jumbo hot mama sausages and she ate them like crazy when we were in college so guess what's going in her bag...hot mama sausages 😂 Along with an initial necklace (loves jewelry) and Starbucks gift cards (she loves them too). My other friend is a Leo and loves candles and lovessssss being a Leo so I found a cute funny Leo candle on Amazon and the candle fits her personality perfectly so that's going in her bag lol.


Even though I have those small things mapped out I still want to get them something else because I too care a lot about what I gift people but hey I think that makes us pretty great humans lol! 🤷🏾‍♀️ So maybe use the card idea to send out to them so you can get some feedback. It's like a little game for them and pinterest has all sorts! Also getting them a robe and the famous tumblers because their just so cute and my friends actually like water bottles but I'm going to put nicknames instead; I don't like the bridesmaids stuff either. One friend has a hair business called Bella Bizarre so hers will say Bizarre and will be in an ice blue color which is her brand color. Another friend won't get a tumbler because she loves coffee so she's getting a coffee travel cup. I think it's easier when you give gifts based on the person and not the whole group.
Just go with things that are fun, something they can actually make use of and that have meaning to both you and them. Think of any past memories you've shared that might be fun to bring back up. One time I cut one friends bangs too short in college by mistake 🤣 so I'm throwing in a custom made card that looks like scissors and I plan on writing a funny note. And for the ones you aren't closest to, use the cards! I hope this helps, good luck!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I never thought of this or that cards. I think for me it would have been more easier if I had maybe 2-3 bridesmaids but I have 8 which isn’t a huge amount but trying to find a perfect gift for 8 is hectic. Thanks again for the idea!
