Unique Gift Ideas for the Bridesmaids in Your Wedding

Susie Lee
It is a long-standing tradition to present your bridesmaids with gifts. However, your gifts don't need to be traditional or boring. Try some of these unique ideas to totally pamper your bridesmaids.

Try arranging a Girl's Night Out that doubles as a gift. Take your maids to a spa where you have booked treatments for each of them. Manicures and pedicures are a great idea before the wedding especially if you will all be wearing open toed shoes. Massages and facials will have you all relaxed and ready to face the big day.

If you have adventurous bridesmaids why not book a boudoir photo party? Most large cities have boudoir photographers that have party packages available for getting the girls together. Choose a photographer that has a hair and makeup artist. Every girl will be pampered with a makeover and then get the opportunity to have sexy and seductive pictures taken of her for her significant other, or just for herself! Make sure you get at least one fun group shot to remember the night forever. These are fun while wearing normal pajamas and bunny slippers, evening dresses or just regular clothes.

Regardless if you are trying to save money or just want to make the gift more special, making it yourself can be a great idea.

Visit www.artbeads.com to get some inspiration for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. Using Swarovski crystals make earrings or necklaces with either your wedding colors or each girl's birthstone colors. To get really personalized try making each girl a bracelet with her name spelled out in silver blocks. Beautiful jewelry can be worn on your wedding day and for years to come.

Can you sew? Try making each bridesmaid an adorable flirty apron. Try using a trendy fabric like black and white damask or cute polka dots and embellish with ribbon or embroidery. Make them really frilly with big bows that tie in the back. Your gift will be used in the kitchen for years to come.

Give the gift of shopping. Gift cards or certificates are always a great gift to receive. Just make sure you make it more personal by getting them somewhere they absolutely love. Gourmet cooking stores, trendy boutiques, lavish spas and even little secret bookstores will be welcomed and appreciated.

Personalize the gift cards further by slipping them into a card you have made yourself with a handwritten note telling them why you are honored to have such wonderful bridesmaids.

The most important thing to remember is to keep your individual bridesmaids in mind when choosing their gift. Get them something you know they will love and cherish.
