Shopping For Perfect Bridesmaid Gifts

By Danny Ricks

As far as preparations for a wedding go, you probably already know there is so much to do and so many things to buy to ensure the occasion goes according to plan. With all this on your mind, it's important that you remember to find that special gift for your bridesmaid. Bridesmaid gifts are given to show just how much you value the role your bridesmaid is playing on your wedding day, the most important day of your life. The giving of bridesmaid gifts has become a kind of tradition and is now almost always a part of the wedding plan.

There are numerous options open to you when you start to look at ideas for bridesmaid gifts and you will be amazed at just how much variety you actually have, right at your fingertips. Although this may seem quite an overwhelming task at the time, all you have to do is give some thought to the person you are buying the gift for. Consider their likes and dislikes and you are sure to be able to make a suitable choice of gift for them. Gifts should not only look good but have meaning behind them too and if you can select a gift which is of a practical use to her after your big day, this is even better still.

Engraved jewelry boxes, charm bracelets, photo albums, robes and slippers are just a few examples of ideal bridesmaid gifts. On the other hand, some brides prefer to put together a basket of gifts for their bridesmaids, and these could consist of a range of skin care products, fancy soaps, initialed towels or even a local spa pamper day voucher to use at her leisure.

As part of tradition, the bride usually gives all her bridesmaids the same gift, differing only by any personalized detail. But you don't have to follow with tradition if you don't want to, so why not give your bridesmaids something to help them remember your special day by presenting them with a gift tailored to their individual tastes. For instance, you may wish to give one bridesmaid a slipper and robe set and give another a beautiful photo album. The recipient will be able to see at a glance that you have been thinking about her when you chose her gift.

Generally, the bridesmaid gifts are given before the wedding because once that wedding begins; the bride is swept up in enjoying her moment. Then after the reception it is usually time to take off for the honeymoon. It is a personal decision as to when you are going to give your bridesmaids their gifts. Just make sure that it is a moment that you can spend together without any interruption. When you put a lot of thought into these gifts, it will show and your bridesmaids will love you for it. - 33381
