Wedding Notes: Gifts for the Bridesmaids!

Hi Brides!

Its officially the start of August.  Lots of heat and Lots of weddings are in the plans for this month! I have seen a lot of brides in lately for last minute items.  As I was assisting a bride today on what she should get her bridesmaids, I got to wondering.  As a bride do you know that its important to buy your bridesmaids a special gift?

So Brides, my tip this week! Buy your bridesmaids a gift!!

If you are wondering if you NEED to buy them gifts, the answer is no.  But before you heave a sigh of relief, think about what those 3 or 4 or even 5 friends are doing for you.  They are buying a dress of your choice, shoes and maybe a headpiece of some sort.  They are giving up a weekend for you.  They are attending one or more showers on your behalf and are no doubt giving you a wedding gift besides.  So Brides, give your bridesmaids a little something to say thank you for being a part of the most important event of your life.

What to give? Jewelry, accessories, personal items, monogrammed items or items in their personal favorite colors are great ideas!

More and more brides are electing to host a spa day for all the attendants.  A day of personal attention and luxury is great way to thank those important ladies.  Another great idea a bride told me she did for her maids, sending them flowers.  Who doesn't love a bunch of flowers delivered to your work or home?

So Brides, the most important element is that its not the actual gift but what it means to your bridesmaids!  That you appreciate their support, attention and love!
