Bridesmaid Gifts: It might be one of the last things to check off your list, but your girls will help you in more ways than you can imagine. This is your final token of gratitude. Make it special! I still can't thank my girls enough for all that they did....every little detail meant so much.
I wanted my gifts to be fun, practical, and completely customized for each lovely lady. I put a lot of thought into each item and created an assortment of gifts that had meaning behind each one.
Etsy was my best friend throughout the planning process, so of course, almost all of my gifts came from Etsy shops. Here are three favorites from my assortment of gifts:
1. Chevron Makeup Bag
This was one of my practical gifts - I definitely knew that I wanted to gift my girls with a makeup bag. Of course you can find makeup bags anywhere, but I was on the hunt for something fun and personalized. Chevron has been a popular pattern and I just love it! So naturally, I fell in love with these chevron bags! They're the perfect size, 5x8, and within this Esty shop, It's Embroidered Baby, you're able to choose the chevron color, the inside lining color, the zipper color, and the font/font color for the initial. So fun!! I filled these with little pampering gifts to use on the day of the wedding and attached a poem to the wrapping, explaining what was inside. After the wedding was over, I knew the girls would use them for something: makeup, school supplies, wallet, clutch, smaller pouch in a larger bag, or for baby/child stuff. I loved this gift and bought one for myself, too!
2. Bridal Entourage Tank Top
This was one of my fun gifts - something to wear on the morning of the wedding! Of course a lot of photos are taken the morning of the wedding and this just adds to the fun and excitement! My sister bought me a personalized "Soon to be Mrs. Giordano" tank top, along with a gorgeous personalized hanger, and gave them both to me at my bridal shower. I thought it would be adorable to have the girls in personalized tanks too! I liked "Bridal Entourage" so that everyone, including other family members, could be included too! I bought these from The Little Bridal Shop on Etsy. They offer SO many options on colors, wording, and sizes. They are also SUPER FAST with shipping!
3. Tote Bag
This was a fun and practical gift - something to use on the wedding day and beyond! I was looking for the perfect tote bag for the girls to use on the day of the wedding (to travel from the hotel to the venue). I knew they'd have their own bag to carry around with them, but who doesn't love an extra bag? I fell in love with these seersucker bags. I loved the rope handle, I loved the colors, and I really loved the personalized initials. The best part? It's lined with nylon which makes it easy to care for since it wipes clean. It's honestly the best beach/pool bag! I also ordered one for myself and brought it on my honeymoon! These bags were purchased from the Kute Kiddo shop on Etsy. And once again, I was able to customize the color, font, thread color, and obviously the initials.
Don't forget to write a sweet note to each of your bridesmaids using the Etsy shop, Marrygrams! I've blogged about them before here. Leave me a comment below with any questions, I'd be happy to help!
