Thoughtful Bridesmaids Gifts: Personalized And Memorable Ideas

what are good ideas for bridesmaids gifts

There are many ideas for bridesmaids' gifts, and it's a very popular way to show gratitude to your bridal party. While gifts for bridesmaids are technically optional, 70% of couples opt to buy bridal party gifts. If you're looking for something your bridesmaids will reuse, it's best to avoid items that scream bridesmaid or are too personalised. Instead, opt for items that align with their hobbies and interests. Practical gifts are always a good idea, as are gifts that can be used during the wedding prep, such as pyjama sets, slippers, and tumblers. You could also go for something more unique, like a virtual wine tasting or a custom-made piece of jewellery.
