What Kind of Bridesmaids Gifts Should I Get?

With all of the decisions you have to make about your wedding right now finding the right bridesmaids gifts might be so far down the list that it's almost laughable! But finding the right tokens of appreciation for the women who are coming together to make this wedding happen (especially if you've managed to rope your bridemaids into helping out!) is just as important to making this a day to remember as booking the right church or making sure the groom actually gets there on time!

(Actually, statistically speaking, it's the bride that's almost always late to the ceremony-but no one else needs to know about that!)

So what kind of bridesmaids gifts should you get? You have two choices. You can go with the classic elegance of personalized bracelets, jewelry and cosmetic bags that scream "This is for my wedding!" or you can choose something that symbolizes the relationship y'all have shared up until that point. For example, if you met your friends on the basketball court tickets to the season playoffs aren't out of order, and they're no more expensive than many of the jewelry choices you're going to stumble across.

If your budget won't stretch to season tickets and you need to find cheap bridesmaids gifts that aren't going to look incredibly tacky, consider making them yourself. Every woman loves a basket put together from Bath & Bodyworks or your favorite chocolatier and topped off with a $10-20 giftcard, and these can usually be put together for $30-40 apiece. Not to mention the hundreds of little bridesmaids novelties available on the market!

Shopping for your bridesmaids gifts is only as hard as you want to make it.
