Bridesmaid Gifts 101

Finding, purchasing and giving the perfect bridesmaid gifts can go a long way to saying 'thank you' to the people helping you the most with your wedding. Especially, when you have bridesmaids that are traveling from out of town and your bridesmaids are giving up their entire weekend to be at your wedding. Make sure to budget a sufficient amount of money for the bridesmaid gifts. Technically speaking, you do not even have to give a gift, but it can be a great keepsake and/or memory maker. You can get a lot of milage out of your gift by giving it prior to your wedding. Plan a lunch or happy hour and distribute your gifts then. It's a great way to push your troops... or bridesmaids that is, through to the finish line! • Keep in mind, your gift doesn't have to be something tangible. It can be as simple as a gift certificate to a high-end day spa. If you live in a rural community, plan a trip to a nearby big city. Or, treat your bridesmaids to a weekend at the lake. If you do plan any kind of travel, make sure to inform your party what exactly you are paying for. You don't want to get 200 miles from home and realize someone can't afford the trip! a Pre-wedding weekend trip is a great way to relieve stress before your big day and create some great memories with your bridesmaids while doing it!
