After all the support your bridesmaids have given you from hours of writing out invitation envelopes or freeing up their days to trek from store to store with you (and of course the beautiful years of friendship prior to the wedding) , giving a special token of appreciation to them on the big day is a lovely way of saying ‘Thankyou’. Here at Homebodii we’ve come up with a few ideas to help make the decisions easier for you:
1. Personalised Pyjama Sets
We know we’ve said it before, but we will say it again; monogramming a beautiful set of silky PJ’s is hands down the cutest gift idea. This way when your bridesmaids head to bed for some much-needed sleep after the wedding, they’ll truly feel special and appreciated. It’s a lovely, longer lasting present that will spark memories and smiles for years to come.
Why not organise a reunion, Pyjama Party style, a year after the wedding!?
2. Compact/Portable Beauty Mirrors
Gifting your bridal party a beautiful compact mirror, which you could also monogram by the way (I know; we’re obsessed), is a beautiful idea and will guarantee that each person can carry a small remembrance of your friendship in their handbags for at least the next few years. Every time they’re double-checking their lipstick before a date or fixing up their hair in the years to come, they will have a piece of you with them.

3. Jewellery
A small set of earrings, delicate necklaces or engraved bracelets are another meaningful way of showing your thanks. Keeping the designs subtle such as the infinity knot, a rose, circles or stars rather than using ‘Bridesmaid’ or the likes, means that the pieces will actually be wearable and your bridal party can incorporate them into their personal styles much more often. Why not use the opportunity to turn the earrings that you want your bridesmaids to be wearing during the ceremony and photos into gifts?

4. DIY Spa Self Care Gift Boxes
I’m sure you can agree that there’s nothing your girls will enjoy more than taking some time to relax and treat themselves to some self-love with delicious face masks, body creams and/or bath salts. Other great additions include massage vouchers (if you want to be next level) or some special gourmet chocolates.

5. Coffee Table Books
Giving each bridesmaid a stunning coffee table book in a subject they are interested in really shows how well you know them and is an item not many will buy for themselves. Coffee Table Books last basically forever and create inviting spaces in people’s homes which will be enjoyed by friends, family and other guests.

So, whether you want to go deluxe with your gifting or keep it small and meaningful, there are plenty of customisable options to suit your ideal wedding plans.
Lots of love and happy planning!
