4 Bridesmaid Gift Ideas to Help You Shine Yet Save
Want to really shine on your wedding day? Get to know the latest in bridal jewelry trends that can help you express your individuality and complement your gown. However, don’t forget that you are not the only one that needs to sparkle and shine on the big day; your bridesmaids are also in need of a little glitz and glam themselves. Since it’s important to show your bridesmaids a little lovin’ at your wedding, we’ve narrowed down 4 of the best bridesmaid’s gift ideas. We all know how expensive weddings can be, so for those brides with spending limits, we’ve provided the ability to save, not splurge, with these wonderful gift ideas.
Your bridesmaids have been loyal companions, on your side through thick and thin during all of the wedding festivities. From bridal showers to bachelorette parties and even a few anxiety attacks, these ladies have had your back and deserve a little gift representing your gratitude. There is no better way to say thank you than with a lovely, personalized gift to give your loyal ladies at your rehearsal dinner or on the big day itself. Show them how appreciative you are for all their hard work and patience with one of these four monogrammed treats (safe for any budget, as well!)
Tote Bags: What better way to keep your girls organized and comfortable than with a wonderful monogrammed tote bag? After a long day your bridesmaids will be thanking you with these great, convenient tote bags to store all of their essentials, especially with their initials stitched right on the front. With our variety of styles, you’ll have a tote to match every bridesmaid on your special day!
Make-up Bags: Since many weddings require the guests and wedding party to travel, you’re bridesmaids will love storing their make-up and special toiletries in a sleek, chic monogrammed make-up bag. Nice looking, useful make-up bags can be found for under $30, with no extra charge for the monogrammed initials!
Jewelry: Since it is, after all, tradition to provide jewelry for bridesmaids at your wedding, why not make each piece extra special with a simple, dainty necklace or bracelet with their first name or initial engraved? It’s a great way to personalize each gift and also incorporate the gift into the actual wedding.
Jewelry Box: If you have already presented your bridesmaids with bridal jewelry, than perhaps a lovely jewelry box will make the best gift. You can customize each case with their initials so they will always remember you and your special day when they stow away their precious gems.
Create the ultimate picture of beauty with carefully selected bridal jewelry. Whether it's for the bride or her party, the right touch will set the tone for the ceremony. Our complimentary embroidering services provide an even more stress free experience. Even prom is a reason to check out Bella jewelry and other gift ideas. No matter what your budget, the right gifts will make your big day even more perfect.
