As a wedding planner, I am well aware of the timing and preparation that goes in to making your special day that much more special. On your wedding day, and every day leading up to the event, your friends are your shoulders to lean on. So how do you thank them in a way that lets them know you could not have made it in one piece without them? If you are searching for some inspiring and unique bridesmaid gift ideas, then you have come to the right place. You will be able to surprise your ladies with sexy, charming fun, thoughtful tokens of appreciation that are anything but generic.
Your bridesmaids have probably catered to you for months and now it's time to do the same. Springing for gift certificates to a luxurious spa for an indulgent experience, a gift basket full of rejuvenating beauty products, or plush slippers, pajamas, or a warm robe would be a great idea for your entourage. Grab a newspaper and head to your local flea market, or even find great deals online auction sites for fabulous vintage gifts for the ladies. Giving a different gift to each bridesmaid gives the whole experience a more personal feel, and each bridesmaid knows you took the time just to think of her while you were selecting each present. If this is the route you choose to go, think about each bridesmaid and what she is most passionate about to make sure you choose the most unique gift for her.
For example, if you have a bridesmaid who you know would enjoy a night out on the town, you might want to get her tickets to the latest musical or a dinner theater or set her up with some salsa, ballroom, or flamenco dance class lessons so she can strut her stuff and show off her new fancy moves next time she hits the club.
On the other hand, for the girl who enjoys a quiet night in, a movie themed gift basket complete with gift cards to the local video store for late night rentals would be great, or perhaps the first edition of her favorite novel. For the activities freak in your bridal party, go for a new workout gear, cookbook, ice skates, or a membership to a creative class like pottery, yoga, or even a garden club break out the champagne flutes – it's going to be a party!
The most unique as well as inexpensive gifts you can give are the ones you make yourself. If you are a do it yourself bride, your bridesmaids will love and appreciate the time you took to make them feel special. Unique bridesmaid gifts you can make on your own include candles, soaps, jewelry, scrapbooks, knitted accessories, and hand painted mugs, all of which can be monogrammed for an added personal touch.
In the end, you know your bridesmaids best, so keep them in mind when thinking out of the box for your unique bridesmaid gift, and I'm sure you can think of a few of you own as well
