15 Bridesmaid Gifts Your Bridal Party Will Actually Use Post-Wedding
The bridal party is a huge part of any wedding day. Bridesmaids are the women who know and love the bride more than anyone, which is why they’re standing by her side when she says “I do.” But being a bridesmaid is so much more than getting dressed up and holding flowers during the nuptials. This girl gang has likely celebrated the engagement, thrown a fun bachelorette party, and brought humor to stressful moments leading up to the ceremony. To show your squad how much their support means to you, give them meaningful bridesmaids gifts.
While T-shirts that say “Bride Tribe” are cute and all, they’ll likely sit untouched at the bottom of your bridesmaids’ dresser drawers post-wedding. Instead, opt for bridesmaid gifts that are useful during and after the wedding. Bridesmaid gift ideas like satin robes for lounging around the house, travel jewelry cases for future trips, and jade rollers to prep their skin for upcoming events are still festive, but practical, too.
Plus, go the personalized bridesmaid gift route and add initials to any item to make it extra thoughtful. Below, shop the best bridesmaid gift ideas for your gal pals.
