I'm trying to figure out what I should get them as a thank you for being part of our wedding. Any suggestions??

    I'm getting the girls each a bracelette and a nail polish to give them at the shower as a little thank you. For bach party I'm making funny shirts for each girl. For the actual wedding I will be giving them a beach bag with their name on it. My wedding is taking place on tbr beach and most of the go to the beach regularly. I made sure the bag didn't look too beachy because there are 2 that don't regularly go and can use the bag for something else. Im also getting the long PJ shirt that kind of looks like a mens button down. I'm making them wine glasses with their names on it and then I will probabaly give eavh girl something more specific to them. A bottle of their favorite wine, gift card or something I know they will use and love.

    I'm shopping for them each individually. They like different things. I don't like things that they'll never use again. Things that say bridesmaid glasses/robes/bags. I hate it. I also hate monogrammed items. So it will be like a birthday present.

    I am getting them each a robe for the day off. I am thinking a tote and tumbler and a personalized note for each. Just started looking today. I was actually coming to post this same question, so thank you!Smiley smile

    Oh man, is it weird that I had to think about this for a minute?! It's only been 6 months!!

    I got my bridesmaids a customized tote bag, filled it with snacks (hey, weddings are long events and two of them were pregnant - snacks were needed lol) and got each of them their favorite bottle of wine (yes, the moms to be got them too - don't worry, none of the bottles were opened that day lol), a nice pashmina, a frame, and I think I included something like a mini manicure or makeup brush kit.

    I didn't want to go overboard and wanted to give them stuff they'd actually use! Oh! And I did make them all some robes as well!

    In the bridesmaid proposal boxes I did champagne flutes with their name, fancy soap, champagne, and a poem I wrote about each of them.

    On the date of the wedding I am giving them robes, earrings, and fancy hangers with their names on them.

    I came to the realization earlier this week that I couldn’t do robes or pajamas because we would be traveling from the hotel to the venue! I think I am going to get them like chambray button up shirts with a monogrammed pocket and they can wear leggings or shorts or whatever with it to get ready!

    I got totes with their names on them from Oriental trading and I think I’m gonna fill them with a mug, some bath products, maybe a blanket/PJ pants and a gift card. Not sure yet though!

    It is really a know your bridesmaid thing. Half of my bridesmaids never wear any jewelry that is not real (jewels, pearls, silver or gold). No I am not giving jewelry. They all drink, I am giving a nice bottle of wine and wine hodler.

    I wasn't having any bridesmaids but I was having a MOH (originally). She was my 15 year old niece and her gift was me paying for everything, ha!


    If I was a bridesmaid I don't think I'd want the typical robes, wine glasses, etc. I think it would be cute to have individual gift bags or small baskets that have items you know the individual likes. Like if someone is into movies get them a movie gift card and a popcorn bag, or you know just something that has a personal touch that isn't personalized.

    Wish you loads of luck!

    I just bought my gifts today. I got really pretty sterling silver bracelets and earrings for my bridesmaids. I also got really pretty bracelet and earring boxes for super cheap. I will also write them each a heartfelt note. I wanted to make sure the jewelry was something they could wear again and wasn't necessarily wedding related.
