It is even likely that you have known your bridesmaids longer than your future spouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you show tremendous gratitude towards them for not only being a part of your big day but your life as well? While words of gratitude are always appreciated, a sentimental gift is also a wonderful gesture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to learn the top 5 tips for giving gifts to bridesmaids. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Hand-Select Each Gift <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, it\u2019s okay to choose one ordinary gift to give your bridesmaids such as a box of chocolates or <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thepaisleybox.com\/product-category\/bridesmaid-robes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">robes for bridesmaids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But, each of them should also receive a personal gift. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing individual gifts for your bridesmaids, try to focus on their hobbies or areas of interest. For example, if you have a bridesmaid who loves hiking, you could give her a book about the best hikes around the world. Or, maybe she loves to travel. In that case, a custom passport case would make for a much-appreciated present.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Don\u2019t Only Give Wedding Themed Gifts <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having shirts, sweatshirts or jewelry made for the big day can be lots of fun. But, there\u2019s a good chance your bridesmaids are only going to wear them during the wedding festivities. Afterward, they\u2019ll probably never wear them again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, make sure that if you\u2019re giving these gifts, you are also gifting them something they can use after the big day. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Give the Gifts at the Right Time <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all the hustle and bustle happening on the day of your wedding, you should still plan to make time to present your bridesmaids with their gifts before the ceremony. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, an ideal time is in the morning of the wedding while everyone is getting ready. This is especially true if one of the gifts is something they can use while getting ready, i.e. a silk robe or a piece of jewelry. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Include a Handwritten Note <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned earlier, your words of appreciation often mean just as much, if not more, than the gifts themselves. Therefore, it\u2019s essential to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/01\/11\/benefits-of-writing-letters-and-postcards_n_6425540.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">include a handwritten note<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with every gift you give. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you\u2019re not the sentimental type, try to say a little more than \u201cThanks for being a part of my wedding! Love you!\u201d If you\u2019re stuck on ideas, write about why you appreciate your friendship with them and why you chose them to be a part of your big day. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Don\u2019t Be Cheap <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most people, you probably have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/life\/stick-to-your-wedding-budget\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">set wedding budget<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you\u2019d like to stick to as much as possible. Along the way, it is likely you are going to need to sacrifice some things for the sake of the budget, but, your bridesmaids&#8217; gifts are definitely one area you don\u2019t want to cut corners on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, while you\u2019ve devoted a lot of time and energy to your wedding, so have your bridesmaids! And even though you don\u2019t need to blow a ton of money on the gifts, make sure you choose those of high-quality. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your bridesmaids are a crucial component in making your wedding day one of the most memorable days of your life.
