There is no set price for bridesmaid gifts, but it\u2019s wise to include wedding party gifts in your overall wedding budget<\/a>. A thoughtful gift is always better than an expensive one. There are lots of personalized options on Etsy<\/a>\u00a0starting around $15 to $20.<\/p>\n

The amount you spend will depend on your personal budget and the size of your wedding party. If your maid of honor did a lot of extra work planning, you might want to get her something a little extra.<\/p>\n

When shopping for gifts, think about your wedding party\u2019s financial commitment as well. If their dresses were pricey or you required them to pay for professional hair and makeup, consider an extra special gift.<\/p>\n

Whatever you buy, the gift should show you took time to consider your friendships and let them know how important it is to have them by your side. Include a handwritten thank-you note with each present.<\/p>\n

When Should You Distribute Bridesmaid Gifts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll want to find a private moment to give your bridesmaids their gifts. If you have time, many brides choose to do this on their wedding day when everyone is gathering to get ready. Another idea is to distribute gifts at the rehearsal dinner. This is especially important if you\u2019re gifting something you\u2019d like your girls to wear for the wedding, like a matching necklace.<\/p>\n

Avoid giving out gifts at the bachelorette party or bridal shower when other attendees are also around who won\u2019t be receiving gifts. Whenever you do it, gather your gals and raise a glass to all of their efforts.<\/p>\n
