Do you have to get bridesmaid gifts?

Bridesmaid gifts are your opportunity to thank your friends and family for being a special part of your wedding. These gifts aren’t mandatory, but if your bridal party had a big hand in planning your bridal shower, bachelorette party, or had to travel a long distance to attend your wedding, it’s not a bad idea to show your love and appreciation.

When should you give your bridesmaid gifts?

You can really give them whenever you want, but three of the most common times are at the bachelorette, at the rehearsal dinner, or the day of. The time you choose can be determined by what the gift is and how your bridesmaid will use it. For instance, if it’s a blowup pool toy for your bachelorette party in Palm Springs, give it then. Or if its a monogrammed robe you’d like your whole wedding party to get ready in on the big day, consider giving it at the rehearsal dinner.

How much should you spend on bridesmaid gifts?

The average amount spent is $75-$150 per bridesmaid or 10% of the total cost of being a bridesmaid in your wedding (dress, bachelorette party, travel expenses, etc.). That being said, it’s important to remember that bridesmaid gifts don’t have to break the bank. In fact, the best gifts are ones that have meaning and are from the heart. Plus, there are plenty of fantastic affordable options out there as well. Give a single item or pair a few together for a cute kit if your budget allows.
