From monogrammed bags to personalized lockets, it's probably impossible to pour all the gratitude and love you feel in just one bridesmaid gift, but you'll have to pick something out and hopefully it will say more than just 'thank you.' With a bit of luck, some of the suggestions below will set you off on the right path towards selecting something memorable and appropriate for your bridesmaid gifts.

Traditional Bridesmaid Gifts

If you'd like to keep in line with traditional bridesmaid gifts, perhaps you'd like to concentrate on providing the lovely ladies in your life with jewelry for your wedding day. Matching necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even tiaras make great keepsakes. What about an engraved gift? Think silver jewelry boxes, lighters, flasks, toasting glasses, and key chains.

Bridesmaid Gifts on a Budget

When planning a wedding on a budget, you can still give sentimental bridesmaid gifts to your attending ladies. Never underestimate the power of an attractive gift bag. Helping out with a wedding takes a lot of time, energy, and patience. Don't you think your bridesmaids deserve a little relaxation? Create a goodie bag filled with scented candles, bubble bath, lotion, bath beads, and other soothing treats. What about the memories? And, when you're on a really tight budget, a box of chocolates is always a sweet way to say that you appreciate their presence at your wedding.

Luxury Bridesmaid Gifts

If you've really been a Bridezilla throughout the process of planning your wedding, then maybe you need to spring for bridesmaid gifts that truly pamper. Treat your bridesmaids to a day spa treatment. Purchase a beautiful cashmere sweater. Send your bridesmaids to a luxury hotel for one night, preferably one with a Jacuzzi. Perhaps, your bridesmaids have been neglecting their own better halves in order to help you plan your wedding, treat them both to a dinner for two at a ritzy restaurant.  Silk nighties or pajamas are also quite special for the bridesmaids in your life.

Other Ideas for Bridesmaid Gifts

When looking for more ideas for bridesmaid gifts, allow your creativity to run wild. Consider their individual personalities and what would bring a smile to their faces. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. Additional suggestions include:

• Cooking lessons with a master chef
• Free yoga sessions
• Handmade pottery
• Day of horseback riding
• Rock climbing adventure
• Scuba diving lessons
• MP3 player or iPod
• Tickets to a sporting event or concert
• Leather photo albums

Ok, I need some help.  I got unique gifts for each bridesmaid. I have 4 and a MOH.  I got a tiffany necklace for one, nike id shoes that i designed with her fave colors for another, foot spa with all the extras for another, and a 1/4 carat diamond locket w/ a pic of her mother (who just recently passed away) in it.  When do I give these gifts to them?  While we are getting ready before the wedding?  Before the rehearsal dinner or do I do a bmaid dinner/lunch separate and give it to them then? HELP!

LFollet - it's a great colour! Here is the quote that goes with this picture.  "The bridesmaids wore dramatic berry-colored dresses by Vineyard Collection with sweetheart necklines."
