Choosing your bridesmaid gifts

As the wedding approaches, it’s appropriate to give each of your bridesmaids a gift of thanks for standing by you on your special day. While it’s not required, your maids will appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity in picking out a gift, especially if you really take her personality into mind.

Some people claim each bridesmaid should get an identical gift. While there’s no harm in choosing a one-size-fits-all present, the thought before the gift means a lot more if you personalize it for each girl. The maid of honor’s gift often is a little bit bigger because she probably put more effort and money into planning and pulling off the bridal shower and bachelorette party. Before you buy the presents, think about each bridesmaid’s personality and what sort of things she does in her spare time. Take inspiration from that.

The bridesmaid gifts are usually handed out at the rehearsal dinner, right after the bride and groom give their speeches thanking everyone for being a part of their special day. Here are some of our ideas for personalized bridesmaid gifts:
