Whether you&#8217;ve known them since childhood or became friends later in life, these are the people you can&#8217;t imagine tying the knot without. They often go the extra mile to ensure everything leading up to the big day goes smoothly. So, why not express your gratitude with a thoughtful gift that shows how much you appreciate them? <\/span>Here are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to your bridesmaid gift ideas!<\/p> <hr \/> <p class=\"p1\"><strong>Why you should get your bridesmaids&#8217; gifts<\/strong><\/p> <p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s common for bridesmaids to pay for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/wedding-dresses\">dresses<\/a>. Some may even be responsible for the cost of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/hair-and-makeup\">hair, makeup, and manicures<\/a>. These chosen few are often emotional support during the stressful wedding planning stage and are willing to help with any DIY wedding projects. This is not being said to make brides feel guilty, but more so to show how much loved ones are willing to show up and show out for their soon-to-be-married friend. A small token of appreciation for all their effort is a great bridesmaid gift idea!<\/p> <div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ericchengphotography005.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-143050 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjIlMkYxMiUyRmVyaWNjaGVuZ3Bob3RvZ3JhcGh5MDA1LmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Bridesmaid Gift Ideas\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div> <p><span class=\"caption\">Photo Courtesy of <a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-disabled\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" data-listing=\"7363\">Eric Cheng Photography<\/a><\/span><\/p> <p class=\"p1\"><strong>Put it in the budget<\/strong><\/p> <p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like any other wedding-related expense, it&#8217;s important to include bridesmaid gifts in your budget planning. Determine how much you want to spend per bridesmaid and brainstorm gift ideas that will truly show your appreciation. Trust us, taking the time to plan this out will make the gift-giving experience even more special!<\/span><\/p> <p class=\"p1\"><strong>Brainstorm gift ideas<\/strong><\/p> <p class=\"p1\">Choose gifts that you know each bridesmaid can use even after your wedding day. You can get everyone the same gift, or for the ambitious bride, gifts personalized for each member of the bridal party. Maybe necklaces from your favourite jeweller, monogrammed bathrobes, or soft fuzzy slippers. You&#8217;ve chosen this bridal party for a reason, so coming up with great bridesmaid gift ideas you know they&#8217;ll love should be a no-brainer!<\/p> <p><h3 class=\"related-posts-title toc_show\">You May Also Be Interested In<\/h3><ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMiUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtV2VkZGluZy1DYXB0aW9ucy1mb3ItSW5zdGFncmFtLWNvbXAtNDI1eDQyNS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWg9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\">Wedding Captions for Instagram: 150+ Ideas Organized by Photo Type<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMSUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtQnJpZGFsLVBhcnR5LTQyNXg0MjUucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1oPSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\">How to Choose Your Bridal Party: A Wedding Planning Guide<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/ultimate-last-minute-wedding-planning-checklist\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjUlMkYxMSUyRkVTLUFydGljbGUtSGVhZGVycy13ZWRkaW5nLWNoZWNrbGlzdC00MjV4NDI1LnBuZyIgZGF0YS13PSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtaD0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/ultimate-last-minute-wedding-planning-checklist\">The Ultimate Last-Minute Wedding Planning Checklist<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p> <p><strong>Purchase the gifts on time<\/strong><\/p> <p>Once you&#8217;ve decided on the perfect bridesmaid&#8217;s gifts, make sure to order them at the appropriate time. These gifts should be on your wedding checklist! Ordering gifts a month or two in advance can be sufficient, but if you are purchasing custom-ordered pieces of jewellery or monogrammed clothing (items that may require more time), you should reach out to the seller, and give them your timeline. You don&#8217;t want the gifts to arrive after the wedding! You also need time to discuss any changes or fix any mistakes that can arise.<\/p> <p class=\"p1\"><strong>Decide when to hand out the gifts<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p> <p class=\"p1\">You can hand out gifts at your rehearsal dinner, on the day of the wedding, or during the bachelorette party. It\u2019s up to you and depends on whether you plan on having your bridesmaids incorporate the gifts into the day (jewellery you want them to wear down the aisle) or gifting them something they can take home.<\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t forget to take a moment to express your appreciation to your squad before handing out the gifts. Share some heartfelt words and let them know how much their presence and support mean to you on your special day. Trust us, this small gesture will make a big impact and leave a lasting impression.<\/span><\/p> <p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your wedding day is truly special, thanks to the presence of your loved ones at the bridal party.
