Your bridesmaids and groomsmen have been there as close friends and family and are now standing by your side during one of the most important days of your life.  They have helped you pick out your wedding dress, listened to you vent about wedding planning stress, made your planning easier, and been your closest ally while navigating this journey. It's important to express how much you appreciate them through the process, but also thank them with a special gift the day of the wedding. Here are some ideas and inspiration for the Bridal Pary Favors and Gifts.

For Bridesmaids:

1. Customized Jewelry: Personalized necklaces, bracelets, or earrings.
2. Monogrammed Robes: Elegant robes for getting ready on the big day.
3. Spa Gift Sets: Pampering kits with skincare and relaxation products.
4. Personalized Tote Bags: Totes with their names or initials.
5. Customized Perfume: Create a unique scent for each bridesmaid.

For Groomsmen:

1. Engraved Flasks: Personalized flasks with their names or a special message.
2. Customized Watch: Elegant watches with a personal touch.
3. Whiskey Glasses Set: High-quality glasses with engraved initials.
4. Personalized Beer Mugs: Cheers to the groomsmen with custom beer mugs.
5. Leather Wallets: Stylish wallets with a personalized touch.
6. Custom Cufflinks: High-quality cuff links that are customized.  

My favorite Bridesmaid Gift idea is a customized box or tote with a few things in them. You can put the Monogrammed Robe in the Personalized tote with the jewelry for the wedding. I also love the idea of adding a mini champagne bottle.  As a photographer, I encourage doing a champagne pop and toast during the matching robe or pajama pictures. It would be so cute to have all the bridesmaids pop their mini champagne bottles with the bride during those pictures!

I have put together a list of my favorite Bridesmaids gifts here. While some of these are affiliate links, I highly recommend these products because I would use them or have used them.

• Bridesmaids Robe
• Scrunchies 
• Compact
• Slippers
• Mimosa Sugar Cube Trio
• Jewelry from Olive and Piper
• Bridesmaid Emergency Kit
• Bridesmaid Tote Bag or a Gift Bag

If everyone is going out the night before you can also include a hangover kit or liquid IV.   At a friend's wedding we put together a kit in the cosmetic bags that included, Tylenol, ibuprofen, Liquid IV, mints, and eye masks. 

I highly recommend including champagne flutes with the Bridesmaids favors if you are planning to have a mimosa bar or a champagne toast during your pictures. You can do a simple stemless champagne flute like this one or you can put an extra detail into your gifts with this flute. There are also adorable pink champagne glasses that you can have personalized. There are so many options available! The options for Bridesmaids favors in general are endless! I hope some of these ideas helped! 

Groomsmen gifts can also be fun! There are a few options that I listed above, and you can also do a gift box with a shot glass or flask, sunglasses, and custom cuff links. If you ordered custom bowties, you could also include the bowties in the box.  

I recently did a wedding where the Bride and Groom bought personalized small coolers for each groomsman with their favorite drink in them.  The day of the wedding, they filled the cooler with ice and had their favorite drink with them while getting ready! I absolutely loved that idea. 

Providing gifts for your Bridal party is important to let them know how much you appreciate them for being by your side during these moments. Do you have any ideas for your bridesmaids gifts? I would love to hear them! Happy Planning!

XOXO,
