I will tell you that one of the best "gifts" a bride can give her maids is paying for hair and makeup. After having spent so much money on dress, showers, alterations, hotel stay etc etc, it is nice to just be "pampered" on the morning of with the bride!
When I think about what to give my maids, I want to give them two things, something that is wedding day related and something that can be used everyday. I have also decided not to get them all the same thing. Each of my maids are different, and what ones likes, the other might not. I want their gift to reflect their personality but also my appreciation for them holding my dress while I pee ;)
I threw together a little board, as I have narrowed it down to four things that I think I want to get them.... 1) Makeup/travel bags -- 2)Personalized jewelery -- 3) Wedding shoes -- 4)Robe or PJ set
It has been four years since I was in Amanda's wedding, she gifted us white, waffle weave makeup/travel bags. I still use it everyday! I was in another wedding several years ago and we each received a beautiful bracelet, until it broke (and the piece to fix it went missing) I wore it all the time! The inspiration for the shoes and the robe comes from seeing fun morning of pictures with the bride and her maids matching! I am also a big shoe gal, so I love the idea of sassy pictures with all of us holding up our dresses to show our shoes!
But these are just my ideas...I would love to hear YOUR ideas!! What was the best/worst bridesmaids gift you ever received?? Any advice for me? Let me hear it!!!
