Sweet Gifts for your Bridesmaids

First of all - thank you gifts for your bridal party are not essential (after all, it should be an honour to be in your bridal party, right?). However, a wee token of appreciation, to remember the day alongside your girls, can be a really sweet touch to add to the day. Whether it’s a card written from the heart, including a photo of your favourite memory shared together, or a personalised piece of jewellery - they’re sure to feel the love.
The tradition of having bridesmaids has been around across cultures for thousands of years - it’s suspected that it began in biblical times. In Chinese history, brides were susceptible to kidnapping at weddings, so bridesmaids acted as decoys. Similarly, in ancient times, brides and bridesmaids dressed identically, to confuse evil spirits. The modern-day role of a bridesmaid is a little less intense - however, it’s still an important job!
So, we’ve compiled a few lovely gift ideas to inspire you. Time for a cuppa and a brainstorm!
THE PERFECT GIFT BOX
Nothing says ‘treat yo’ self!’ quite like a box of indulgent, beautiful goodies - and Spoil Me have put together some gorgeous combinations. Our fave? The Beauty box - including a rose quartz face roller, marshmallow body butter, a Bianca Lorene Tote Bag, facial oil, facial mist or cleansing oil, a mini Ocho bar all put together in the sweetest wee gift box. They have a bunch of different options too, so it’s worth taking a look (you might even find a good pressie for your soon-to-be husband or wife!)
THE SWEETEST TREATS
Everyone likes cookies - so what could possibly be better than personalised cookies made with love by Velvet Skies!
