After you say “YES” to your perfect partner, you get to choose the besties that will stand by your side as you say “I do”! Each of these ladies is, without a doubt, so important to you and adds her own unique element to your life. When you thank them for being a huge part of your big day (and your life!), you’ll want to celebrate them with gifts ideally suited to who they are!
The hallmark of a great gift is for it to be thoughtful and unique. But I also think it should be useful – and gifts for your bridesmaids should be no different. If you give them a gift they can use during wedding festivities and in their everyday life, they will think fondly of the memories from your wedding for years to come! So first, think about each of your girls and what makes them tick, and then check out the list below to find a perfect thank-you gift they will love!
For the Girls Who Love a Fun Night Out!
This is the perfect crossbody bag for a friend who loves a night out. With built-in card slots, it’s super chic and slim and has the ideal space for your phone, keys, and lipstick. Made with soft but durable leather to help prevent scratches, it’ll keep its sleek look for years to come!
A multi-use makeup palette could not be more perfect for your friend who loves to get glam for a night out. This all-in-one Threesome Palette from Anastasia includes the most beautiful blush, bronzer, and highlighter that are lightweight but last up to 14 hours – so it’s perfect for a long night out and on the wedding day! The palette is compact enough to easily fit any makeup bag and comes in three shades, so no matter what your bestie’s skin tone, one will look beautiful on them!
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Camera is perfect for your bestie who loves a night out and also loves to be in charge of the memories! This camera is small enough to be thrown in a purse and comes in 5 fun colors. It would be fun to snap candids while getting ready for your bachelorette party and wedding morning! You can put the mini prints in an adorable photo album.

This beautiful leather jewelry case is perfect for bridesmaids who love traveling! There’s nothing worse than grabbing your go-to necklace to find it tangled on a pair of earrings, and with this beautiful travel jewelry case, your girls won’t have to worry about that again. It comes in 7 colors, and you can emboss a name or monogram to add a unique, personalized touch. The interior is lined in a super soft suede-like fabric that will prevent tarnishing so your bridesmaids can show up on the wedding morning knowing their jewelry will be safe and shiny!

For the Girls Who Are Super Sentimental!

A customized portrait is one of my favorite gifts to give a close friend. These are absolutely adorable and can be customized to showcase each of your personalities; plus, you can add a quote that means something special to your friendship. Grab a picture frame from Amazon, and your bridesmaid can hang it in her home or office to remind her how appreciative you were to have her by your side for your wedding!
Homesick candles make a super sweet gift for a sentimental bridesmaid. Scent is a super powerful memory sense, and these candles hit the nail on the head. – you can pick a favorite memory the two of you share and use a candle to bring those memories flooding back. Maybe you met at summer camp, spent a summer abroad in France, or love hiking together. There’s a candle to match all those memories and so, so, many more! If, instead, you want to commemorate the new memories being made at all your wedding festivities, the “Let’s Toast” candle will remind her of the bachelorette party and being by your side on your wedding day!

For Every Girl in Your Group!
These customizable tote bags are the perfect thank-you for every bridesmaid in your group! This tote can be used as a carry-on for a bachelorette trip, to pack their necessities for the wedding day, and as a beach bag for a long time after all the wedding festivities have wound down.
To help your girls look their best for the wedding day, gift them a pure silk pillowcase by Slip. This is the most comfortable pillowcase to sleep on, and it is also anti-aging, anti-sleep crease, and anti-bedhead – how much better could it get?!? It comes in 15 colors, so you will find one to fit into every girl’s bedding scheme, and it’s even machine washable. If you’re having a bridesmaid sleepover the night before the wedding, make sure your girls bring it along to help wedding day hair and makeup go super smooth!
