Fun and Funky Bridesmaid Gift Idea

Gift Ideas for your Bridesmaids
man card.jpg
Being asked to be in the wedding of somebody you love is an absolute honor. When you get proposed the question of being a bridesmaid, it is truly magic!  This is a moment in your life which will remain a darling memory forevermore.  Somebody close to you considers you SO special that they want you by their side during the most important moment of their life.
The journey your chosen bridesmaids are about to embark upon involves more responsibility than drinking champagne and tasting wedding cake (Yet...those are the best parts!). They will arrange your bachelorette party, accompany you for dress shopping/ fittings (we all know these are stressful), and help you organize the details of your big day. These are just a few of the tasks in their role description, so it’s important to show them how much you appreciate each of them.
To show your gratitude for all the hard work and commitment they’ve put in, treat your gals to some sweet and sentimental gifts. It doesn’t matter your budget, as long as you are thoughtful with your choices. Whether it’s DIY presents or luxurious goods, your ladies will be over the moon and happy to have felt appreciated for the help they already loved to do!.
Some of the most popular choices for Bridesmaid gifts are jewellery, and this is for a very good reason. It’s a lovely option that your girls get to display on the day of your wedding, and then keep to wear forever after. Matching jewellery can be an added element to your photos on the day and there are endless styles and ways of making them personal for each special lady.

An unconventional, but beautiful idea is to give your Bridesmaids a ring after you receive yours. A simple but gorgeous token are these dainty rings in the shape of the state or country of your choice. Choose the location of your wedding, their hometown or the place your friendship blossomed and every time they see that little heart, they’ll think of you.


If you like the idea of a ring, take inspiration from a Celtic tradition and revel in the legend of this symbol. The ‘Claddagh’ ring, dating back to Roman times was traditionally given to propose marriage. Nowadays however it is commonly given in many forms and used simply as a sign of love and friendship. This Irish image features a crowned heart being held with both hands.

These hands represent friendship, the heart represents love and the crown represents loyalty. What better of an emblem could be used to represent part of your Wedding celebration? You can find thi symbol on most jewellery items and many other gifts as well. Not just for those of Celtic decent, but anybody who appreciates romantic symbolism.

If you’re more relaxed than regal, have some fun with these cute ‘partners in crime’ bracelets, and giggle whilst reminiscing about your single days.

Though jewellery is a classic gift option, you can also think outside the box and go for something less customary. Who doesn’t like personalised presents? Something as simple as name and date can make the difference in your gift choice. Take these beautiful hangers for example, and imagine the faces of your bridesmaids when they see their dresses hanging up on the big day. This is a unique gift which will put a smile on their face every time they go in their wardrobe from here on out.

These personalised cosmetic bags are adorable, and something every girl needs. Fill them with your favorite indulgences and spoil your Bridesmaids with a night of rest and relaxation.

With all the rushing around of planning a wedding, it’s a good idea to take the time out to unwind. Leave yourselves a few days to pamper and prepare before the big day. A nice idea is to treat your Bridesmaids to spa day, use this time to beautify and celebrate whilst drinking champagne and wearing face masks (I mean, REALLY, who doesn’t love this)!  Enjoy this well-deserved girl-time before you’re whisked off into married life, feeling fresh-faced and silky smooth.

For the crafty  bride, you can have just as much fun with homemade gifts which will do the same trick. An easy gift to make and an amazing one to receive is a handmade body scrub. There are endless recipes  that are available for experimentation, and making each concoction a different scent and colour will show the effort you went through. Body scrub is a must have for any occasion when you want to feel your best (in our opinion!!), and its a perfect choice for showing off your smooth legs in your Bridesmaid dresses.

Same goes for these absolutely beautiful handmade candles, which do nothing but exude the feeling of serenity. Brides to be can have tons of fun making memories with your chosen Bridesmaids. Enjoy your last moments of singlehood with the women you cherish the most. Gift them with a special memento of the occasion and go out with a bang.

Let's dive in: " My first day moving to East Lansing, to start my Freshman year at Michigan State, my friend from high school invited me to her sister's house party. Alex was there because he just moved in next door. He came up to me and of course I thought he was so hot!  He introduced himself and told me he was 20. Being 18, I thought this was the hottest thing I've ever heard! We joke and say "you had me at 'I'm 20'" hahaha. We kissed like the entire night, but being my first day on...
