Hi!
I have never been in a wedding and haven’t attended many. In my research I’ve gotten different opinions – did you get your bridal party gifts? Like a small thank you for being in the wedding? I got them all a little proposal gift that said “will you be my bridesmaids/flower girl/ring bearer” but should I do something closer to the wedding??
Thanks!

whatevergift410 : Yes we got them all gifts and gave them to everyone at the rehearsal dinner.

Yes, you should give them gifts right before the wedding (rehearsal or getting ready) as a thank you for all the money, time, effort they spent being in your wedding, helping out with pre-wedding events, etc. I gave mine gift cards to specific places they liked along with several other items. I gave them robes to get ready in as well but that was not a “gift”.

Bridesmaids gifts before the wedding are a nice little way to say thanks. It doesn’t have to be super elaborate — I’m getting my bridesmaids a necklace, personalized stationary, and a box of champagne gummy bears.

whatevergift410 : In my experience being in 5 bridal parties and being a bride, gifts are usually given at the rehearsal dinner. I have receieved jewelry, sweets, tote bag, button down shirt, mug…
I wrote a sweet note to each of my girls, gave them a tote bag for easy use for the day of the wedding, a personalized travel mug(they all love them and still use them regularly!), earrings, a mini-emergency kit, and some sweets.

They’re spending a lot of money to be in your wedding so it is a nice gesture, not required but can be considered a bit rude if you dont. I got my girls matching tennis bracelets and wrote them each a nice thank you note.
Just as a note, paying for their makeup/dresses/hair does not count as a gift. That is for your wedding so if you chose to pay for that it’s up to you but not really a gift.

I got my girls rompers to wear getting ready, a bracelet, a personalized hanger, and on the hunt for a few other little things today!
