Getting married can be one of the most stressful times in a woman’s life. There is so much to worry about, from the guest list to the catering arrangements, walking down the aisle comes with a list of tasks to do, including: “Who will be my bridesmaids?” Soon after that comes the time to pick gifts for the important women in your life. As it can be difficult to find something special for each one of them to show your gratitude, use this list of the most popular bridesmaid gifts as inspiration.
1. Jewelry
One of the most common bridesmaid gifts for 2019 is jewelry. A necklace, bracelet or earrings are the perfect gifts for your bridesmaids to have as a keepsake and also wear the day of the wedding. Adding an engraving, whether it be a quote, the date of the wedding or something symbolic can add a lot of sentimental value. If your wedding is on a strict budget as I am for my fall wedding then make sure to comparison shop before you purchase these items.
2. Bridesmaids Gifts for 2019: Photo Albums
While it can be challenging to handmake a scrapbook for each of your bridesmaids, services are available to put your favorite photos together into a memorable souvenir for them. This way you can spend time together, reminiscing about memories of the time you have spent together. Personalizing gifts like this make all the difference to your bridal party and will bring a smile to their faces for years to come.
3. Makeup Kits and Accessories
In 2019, makeup kits and pallets are very popular. You can even customize some of them to your bridesmaid’s skin shade and preference. Additionally, there are many self-care accessories to include with these kits. Cleansing face washes and skin care treatments for blemish-prone skin go perfectly into gift bags.
Also in the package, brides can include shampoo samples or similar hair treatment kits to help keep your scalp healthy between haircuts as 2019 bridesmaid gifts. Not only will high quality beauty products help to keep their skin and hair looking great for your wedding day but also for days afterward.
4. Personalized Gift Basket
Another great idea for 2019 bridesmaid gifts is a personalized gift basket for each of your gals. Include each bridesmaids’ favorite things in her basket for a one-of-a-kind, fun present. Examples of what to include are:
- Their favorite snacks
- Framed pictures
- Wine, and
- Gift certificates
Put it all into an elegantly wrapped package. The packaging could even match the theme of the wedding, if there is one. There’s no need to be extravagant with this gift either; as long as each item is symbolic, it will resonate with your bridesmaids and how much they mean to you.
5. A Spa Day? Talk about Terrific 2019 Bridesmaid Gifts
Lastly, many brides choose to gift their entire bridal party a spa day before or after the big day. It is one of the best ways to unwind, spend time together, and strengthen your bond with one other. Plus, spending an afternoon pampered with your best friends sounds terrific!
As for which gift I’ll give my maid of honor and bridesmaid, I haven’t decided yet, honestly. But I think we have found our church for the ceremony, so that’s a good start for organizing the big day without a wedding planner.
What are some other ideas for 2019 bridesmaid gifts? I’d love to get more ideas!
I love this! For my wedding, I gifted my bridesmaids with the same necklaces, and a personalized tote bag in their favorite colors. I think most of them wore the necklaces during the wedding, too. It was simple, and thoughtful. I know several of my bridesmaids still use the tote regularly. I made sure to only put their first names as well.
That’s so nice – very thoughtful gifts you gave them :D
Thanks!
