Bridesmaid Gifts: Vintage Books

Give your bridesmaids a timeless gift they will cherish and keep forever! (expert advice)

Bridesmaid Gifts: Vintage Books article photo Bridesmaids

Give your bridesmaids a gift they will cherish! Scour your book shelfs or your local used book shop for vintage books. Choose titles that will have special meaning for each girl.

Maybe you spent a summer with your best friend reading Anne of Green Gables or maybe your maid of honor's favorite book is Mansfield Park; find a special edition or beautiful copy to pass on.

Tie each book with a ribbon and add a pretty label. Write each girl a note, telling them why you chose the book and how you value their friendship. It's a gift your bridesmaids will hold on to forever. Aside from adding a personal touch to your wedding, it's budget friendly and good to the earth. Happy reading!

This is a FABULOUS idea...I was wondering what books you would suggest! A list would be super helpful. I also thought about possibly getting the girls 27 Dresses as a gift as well...what do you think?

It's so funny this was posted! I'm tucking some vintage books into their gift bags.  I found one called "Julia", the name of my one bridesmaid and another book that really suits my Maid of Honor and thought they would be cute in their bags.  :)

Wow!  I have really been struggling with what to get my girls - I have ten amazing, unique and inspirational friends, and what to get that is personal, not a million dollars, and will be treasured has been quite the search.  But I think this is perfect.  I am starting my list right now!  So excited.
