What would be an appropriate gift for my bridesmaids?

What would be the right time to gift these and how do I present it? Is there something I should write on a card?





I was thinking of getting each one a makeup set. What do you think?

A makeup set sounds like a good idea. Now that you mention something, maybe I should have been a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding. Then I could pretend to be all angry when I wouldn't receive a present from her. Oh, well. Her wedding was good enough without me standing up there, trying to look pretty.





By the way (in case you're wondering), I chose not to be a bridesmaid because I don't like dancing and would probably have been required to dance with one of the groomsmen. I made my decision to not be a bridesmaid clear to my sister before she even had the chance to ask me to be a bridesmaid. Besides, our younger sister made a wonderful maid of honor.
Reply:Depending on how much you wish to spend I would give something they could keep as a memento of the occasion.A bracelet or necklet or whatever suits your friends, presented on the day especially if you buy the same for both and they/ you wish them to be worn on the day.A card is appropriate with your thanks for their help.Best Wishes in your Marriage.
Reply:At my brother's wedding my sister in law got us all a bracelet that had our name's engraved it it, and these cool little things that you put on your keychain somehow we got them randomly and I ended up with a little tiny suitcase thing and it had a paper on it that said you will travel the world which i thought was cool because I love to travel. I think she got us something else too but I can't remember what?! They gave us our presents at the rehearsal dinner so we would have them for the next day. Maybe you could make your own thank you cards or something to thank them for sharing your special day or something like that. Good luck hope it all works out great for you! :)
Reply:when i was bridesmaid i was given a silver and diamond bracelet


i think a necklace or locket or some other item of jewelery would be a good idea


something anyone can keep forever and not grow out of, it also shows you put thought into it and besides, what girl doesnt want jewelery?! :)


congrats, btw
Reply:I'd get them each a necklace or bracelet, give it them before the wedding so they can wear it during the ceremony
