Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, and asking your closest friends to be your bridesmaids is a beautiful part of it. To make this moment special, give them unique gifts that show your appreciation. Here are some thoughtful gift ideas for your bridesmaids when asking them to stand by your side on your big day. 

A timeless keepsake 

One of the most cherished gifts for bridesmaids when asking is personalised jewellery. Customised necklaces, bracelets, or earrings with their initials or birthstones add a personal touch that they can treasure forever. This gesture not only makes them feel special but also serves as a beautiful reminder of your friendship and the important role they play in your wedding. 

Bridesmaids jewellery

A box full of joy 

Creating custom bridesmaid proposal boxes is a beautiful way to ask your friends to be part of your bridal party. These boxes can be filled with a variety of goodies such as mini champagne bottles, scented candles, bath bombs and handwritten notes. Each item can be selected to match your bridesmaids’ personalities, making the proposal even more special. 

Personalised bags 

Personalised handbags are practical and stylish gifts for bridesmaids when asking them to join your wedding party. These bags can be customised with their initials and come in handy for carrying wedding day essentials or everyday items. Choose a design that matches their style and add some little gifts in the bag too.  

Cheers to friendship 

For friends who enjoy a good glass of wine or champagne, custom bottles make an excellent bridesmaid proposal gift. Personalise the labels with a heartfelt message or a fun design that celebrates your friendship. Pair the bottle with a set of elegant wine glasses or a wine opener for the complete gift. If your bridesmaids don’t drink alcohol, there are plenty of gorgeous alcohol-free wines available. 

Whether it's personalised jewellery, custom proposal boxes, or handwritten letters, these gifts will show your appreciation and make your friends feel loved.  At Abbott Lyon, we have a stunning range of personalised gifts that are perfect as gifts for bridesmaids when asking them to be part of your big day.
