Bridesmaid gifts

May Wedding, 19 April, 2013 at 12:06 Posted on Planning 0 3

Hi

I'm getting married on 25 May and am struggling to think of ideas for bridesmaid gifts. I know jewellery to wear on the day is traditional, but my sister and I are disagreeing over what she should wear (she wants chunky and gold, I'm thinking something a bit simpler) so it doesn't seem right to buy her something I know she doesn't want as a gift. My other bridesmaid is married with her own home etc, so I'm thinking nice candles or a photo frame for her, but my sister is 19 and still lives at home and I'm struggling to think of something!

Has anyone recently gave/received a bridesmaid gift that was a little different than normal? Xx

    I've bought my bridesmaids a personalised wooden plaque with a little poem saying thank you and with the wedding date on. My sister has been brilliant with helping me organise everything and organising my hen do for me and so I have bought her a Pandora charm (a dangly dress) to say thanks also.

    A photo frame sounds lovely and then she can add a photo from your wedding.

    I'm not buying jewellery to wear on the day as I have told them they can wear what jewellery they want (within reason)

    We have all sorts of personalised items that would be great for both. Personalised wooden signs, glasses, cups, trinket boxes, compact mirrors, wine, champagne, candles, slate hearts (I love these) and then things like personalised books they are classics like Alice in Wonderland. and lots of other things in between.

    I'm having the same problem. My MOH has been great so I'd like to get her something special.

    vgbear - where do I need to click on your website to find the things you've mentioned? Can't see them.

    My BM is a huge vintage fan. So I'm going to make her up a gift box with some nice bits - photo frame, jewellery, candles etc.
