What to put in bridesmaid gift bags
1. Jewellery
Whether it’s jewellery to wear on the big day or just a little something to treat your bridesmaids, our small brands have got you covered. Gift them a piece with a personal touch – think name necklaces, zodiac designs or a birthstone ring. Or you can even choose something specifically for your wedding like this gorgeous ‘tying the knot’ bangle.

Wedding prep is stressful for everyone involved (especially the Maid of Honour!) so some pamper treats will always go down well. We particularly love the idea of giving everyone a perfume bottle with their name on for that extra-special touch.

When to give bridesmaids their gifts
There’s no right or wrong time to give your bridesmaids their gifts – it’s totally up to you! But it could be after the proposal, at the hen do, at the rehearsal dinner, the morning of your big day or even as a thank you after the wedding.
If you’re not sure when you want to do it, think about what gifts you’ll include and that will help you pick the right time. For example dressing gowns are a lovely thing to present them with on the morning of the wedding but don’t make as much sense afterwards.
Top tips for giving bridesmaid gifts
Consider how you personalise gifts
It’s worth thinking about how you personalise your gifts to make sure your bridesmaids can use them for a long time. We know it’s tempting to go wild and add your wedding date to everything but this tends to work better for smaller keepsakes or things like hand-iced biscuits and candles. For items they’ll use for longer like jewellery or accessories, we’d suggest adding their name or initials instead.
Don’t gift them at the hen do if not everyone is a bridesmaid
Avoid any awkwardness by making sure that you either give your gifts individually or just when it’s you and the bridesmaids. Nobody likes feeling left out.
Don’t worry if you’ve got a smaller budget
At the end of the day it’s the thought that counts and actually there’s no pressure to give bridesmaid gifts if you don’t want to. After all, everyone knows how expensive weddings are!
