Bridal party gifts - day of, at the rehearsal, or both?

I would say the rehersal dinner, just because you have so much to deal with ( remember) on your wedding day it's just one less stressful thing to think about :-)

This is usually a good website - you can choose so many different options to do (e.g. wine tasting for 2, an overnight, or other things). They have themes at the top - couple, adventure, golf, lifestyle - so you might find other good ideas too. Is there anything you know your dad likes / likes to do?

I ended up getting kate spade clutches last night so i will give them those on the rehersal and the other things the day of.

i love the idea of a weekend getaway. did you find a good deal? where can i look for something like that?

the only problem is, is his parents are together and mine are not...

my mom would like it because she has a bf to go away with. but my dad doesnt so a trip like that wouldnt really be good for him.

I think it totally depends on what you feel more comfortable with. My sister gave us our gifts at the rehearsal and I plan to do the same. She gave us a bracelet, kate spade purse, hangers with our names, and some other little things. It was totally cute and we brought them to my parents house the day of to get ready. I'd say price it out and see what's in your budget.

I'm planning to get my parents a getaway weekend to niagara on the lake because they love things like that. We haven't decided what to do for my in-laws yet.

Hi Cassandra!

Little gifts are always a nice token of appreciation to your bridesmaids. Here are some ideas:

Gift for your bridesmaids

Bridesmaids gifts

Bridesmaids gifts

Is your groom also handing out gifts to his groomsmen?

I planned on giving my girls their gifts that morning.

Hmmmm. I would say day of when you are getting ready. it'll also make nice picture moments since its surprise thing.

Aw love that idea! I want to get them a keep sake, maybe something engraved... i dont know!

View quoted message I gave her earrings to wear the day of, nail polish, face mask, and a Tarte eyeshadow palette. Put it in a cute little box with tissue paper.

Not into diy hahaha me either!! I think you got them a lot. I don't think you need to get them another little something for the rehearsal, unless you have your heart set on it already. If you really want to give something at the rehearsal and the day of, why not split up your gifts. Give them the hanger and the robe at the rehearsal so they can hang their dress on it the whole night, and jump into the robe first thing in the morning. Then give the jewelry the next day for them to wear?

Thanks Kayla! What did you end up giving your MOH and mom?

I struggled with this too, but ended up giving my MOH her gift a few weeks ago, kind of as a Will you be my MOH, kind of thing. We're also getting married 4 hours from home and it would be one less thing to for us to pack.

I don't see why you couldn't give them their gifts the morning of. That's what happened with both the weddings I've been in.

Either way, i'm sure they'll love them (with or without the added Kate Spade).
