Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

The wedding and bachelorette party planning has begun! The most common question I see from MOHs and Brides: "What should I gift the bridesmaids? I want it to be something they'll be able to use again and not something clichè that has "bride tribe" on it, etc"

It's important to remember that the girlies will most likely be thankful for whatever you decide on! If it's bachelorette party related, it's great to include some typical bach party things, too! Things that might be cheap but will create some of your favorite memories.

However, if you are wanting to impress with at least one main gift, I have listed some of my personal favorite bridesmaid gift ideas below in all different types of budgets!

Bauble Bar Personalized Charm Bracelets

These fun and customizable charm bracelets are a great way to make each girl's gift unique by adding different charms that represent each girl and their likes, personalities and more. This is something they will wear forever!

Custom Name Bracelet

Customized Beach Towels

This is especially great for a beach themed bachelorette party or one where you'll be spending a lot of time in the pool! This also makes for some really fun pictures. Round Monogrammed Towels - I've personally given these before for a bachelorette party and it was such a fun surprise! Love that they have different options. Bachelorette Party Detail Towels - this is so cute to remember details from the bach party if you want to!

Travel Bags

One of my favorite gifts that I have gotten as a bridesmaid has been a Vera Wang weekender duffel bag (shout out to Ali for that!). I literally use it all the time, whenever I get the chance. It has so many pockets, it's cute and stylish and it fits over a suitcase. Now of course I couldn't find the EXACT one I have, but it's a great idea and I found something similar. She also gave each of the girls a matching travel makeup bag. Nothing was monogrammed, so it's super neutral and something that the girls will continue to use forever. It's especially a great idea if you are doing a weekend getaway for the bach trip!

This isn't the exact Vera Wang bag, but it's pretty close! Keep browsing their other options for more ideas too! And tip - shop at an outlet store for an awesome deal on these!

Etsy personalized bag - if you want to make it personalized, that is certainly an option, too! Etsy has a ton of options. Keep in mind, the quality might be a little cheaper, but it's still a great gift idea

Custom Tumblers

I feel like this is a pretty common gift, but I think it remains a solid option. Especially if you customize the colors and names on it. You might also consider splurging and picking out unique Stanley tumblers for all the girls, too. It's kind of all the rage right now.

Birthstone Earrings/Jewelry

I personally love the gifts that are unique to each bridesmaid, but not necessarily with their name. I think that birthstones are all so pretty and something that will never go out of style. Plus, maybe you can have them wear it on wedding day. These are options that again, they can wear forever and for multiple occasions. Here are a few of my favorite collections with unique pieces:

Book

If you're a bookworm...how fun would it be to pick out a unique book for each of your girls? Something that you know they would love OR something that has a character that reminds you of them. Make it extra special and write a note in the front about why you chose that specific book. The possibilities are endless and you might help them find their new favorite book!

Travel Jewelry Cases

Easy and cute! What a great customizable gift to give to the girls! Amazon has some options, so feel free to search there, but these are a few of my favorite finds from Etsy!

Travel case customized with birth month flower and name - so cute! Love that it's customized with a birth month item! Velvet name - These look so classy

Cozy Blanket

You can't go wrong with a cozy blanket! You can certainly find customizable ones, but I personally think it would be really fun to just go to a TJMaxx or somewhere similar and look for the blanket that suits each girl. They usually have a fantastic selection!

Personalized Sweatshirt or Set

Staying on the cozy theme - a simply personalized sweatshirt to keep warm! Etsy has some great options. Here are a few that I personally love that are more simplistic:

Crewneck customized with initial and name Embroidered initial with heart

If you want to do something a little more commemorative for the bachelorette party, you could also consider something fun like this custom sweatshirt.

Photo Gifts

I'm sure you have pics of all your girls. Make a customized print or photo gift with photos of each friendship. Here are some ideas:
