Gifts

Not sure if you bought your bridesmaids gifts yet..I have 3 bridesmaids.

I got them a beach tote with their first initial embroidered from weddingstar.ca when they had a big sale.

earrings and necklace from bittersweet jewelry.
to wear on the wedding day and satin robes to wear when getting ready.

I'm paying for the hair and makeup as my gift

Hey Kristy! When shopping for gifts for you BMs, my best advice is to shop for them as if you were buying a birthday gift. These women and close to you, and you know their likes and interests. Use that as inspiration.

They do not need to receive the same gift, as long as they are around the same price point. You definitely want to get them something that they love and that will remind them of you when they look at it/use it.

I only have a MOH but I found this bracelet and then ill add like some stuff for her to have a nice pampered day. I got a facemask,bathbomb,little bottle of booze,a candle,a lip chap,hand sanitizer, and a little sweet treat. Dont be afraid to go to the dollarstores. Not everything there is garbage and that way you can build a sweet gift box with a bunch of little goodies
bracelet from amazon

Part of my gift to my girls is their hair and makeup. So I am only doing smaller gifts for them the day of. I have "bridesmaid" elastics for them to have that day if they choose to have their hair down and want a fancy hair tie for the end of the night. I have also done personalized water bottles. This way they can fill them up for the limo and have water on hand all night. It is also something that can be used later that isn't really "wedding" themed.

For sure pick something that the girls would use later on!

For both our MOHs we gave a perfume sampler set of 80 instead of anything else. A box with assorted items didn't seem to fit our budget or to figure out what they would not use after.

Bath & Body Works seems to be the answer if you are really going to look into deals and put a basket for each of your wedding party. Its useful and can work for you.

Jewelry is another way to give them something that will go with their dresses you know have chosen colour wise. This way they will be wearing it to match throughout.

I'm a big believer in gifting experiences! Creating memories is where its at I was given a gift certificate at a local Nordic spa, for my services as the Co-MC at my cousin's wedding. It was awesome!

Depending on what you and your girls are in to, it could be a gift certificate to go : rafting, spa day, microbrew tour, wine tour, etc.

The other wedding I was in, I got an engraved pocket mirror... I don't remember ever using it and I don't know where it is lol.
