The people that make up your bridal party are some of the nearest and dearest. They’ve stood by your side through thick and thin, and now they'll be supporting you as your squad on the big day. They're also an integral part of your wedding journey—from celebrating your engagement to helping host a blow-out bachelorette party, they're part of the party from day one.

Whether you met them on the playground or were desk partners at your first job, you and your bridal party have a special bond that will only grow stronger as you share life’s milestones—like your wedding day! That’s why it’s important to show them just how much you appreciate their friendship with a thoughtful token of your appreciation. Bridal salon manager Olga Pomeransky recommends useful presents they'll use every day, long after the wedding has passed. "Makeup bags with their initials on them, blinged-out coffee cups, or jewelry boxes engraved with their names are all great gifts," she says. "And if you want to go a step further, add another gift that's tailored to each bridesmaid's personal tastes."

Event planner Heather Dwight advises that unforgettable shine is the way to go. You can’t go wrong with a little bit of sparkle!" she says. Think pretty earrings or a bedazzled frame with a photo of the two of you inside.

What to look for in a bridal party gift

Think about what your bridal party members might need throughout the wedding weekend.

It's also a good idea to gift them something that feels special, personalized, and long-lasting—think custom jewelry or a chic clutch.

Dwight also loves to use tote bags for the bridal party. "Stuff them goodies based on the personality of each bridesmaid. Is she a total fashionista? Fill the bag with a gift card to her favorite store, magazines, or fun accessories. Is she a yoga or fitness queen? Pack her new tote with a fabulous yoga outfit or a trendy new mat."
