Looking for the best bridesmaids' gifts ever? We've got plenty of great ideas, but a go-to of ours is jewelry. That's because accessories can work double duty. Present your pals with fashion pieces solely as tokens of gratitude or offer them as outfit additions for the wedding day, as well. With the latter option, you'll be saying "thanks" while also helping your attendants look unified. Either way, we're sharing some stylish recommendations.
When it comes to gifting bracelets, rings, necklaces, or earrings, there are items on the market for any situation. We know that it's common to give personalized bridesmaid gifts, so we've rounded up some custom jewelry options. We also know the power of small everyday accessories, so we've added some wardrobe staples to the mix. The rest of this list is full of cute, fun, and unique pieces for any personality and relationship, so that you can choose a good present for any kind of bridesmaid, including your maid of honor. To make things even easier, we've thought of every budget, so that you can find something in your ideal price range.
As for when to give your bridesmaid gifts? Jewelry makes the timeline extra flexible. We love the idea of "bridesmaid proposals," where you offer the role along with a present. We suggest a thematic piece, like the knot ring or energy bracelet ahead. Otherwise, you can bestow the goods right before the wedding or on the morning of. This works well if you want to surprise everybody with something to don down the aisle.
