Essential items for a bridesmaid gift bag 

When deciding what to put in your bridesmaid’s gift bags, consider things that are useful and sentimental for each bridesmaid. Here are some ideas on what to put in a bridesmaid bag: 

1. Personalised jewellery 

Necklaces: A beautiful, personalised necklace can be a treasured keepsake. Bridesmaid necklaces are an especially gorgeous choice as they can wear them as part of the wedding. 

Bracelets: Consider engraved bracelets with their names or a special date. Again, bridesmaid bracelets are an extra cute choice for your bridesmaid bags. 

Birthstone: Matching birthstone jewellery that they can wear on the wedding day. You could even use the birthstone that corresponds to the date of your wedding. 

2. Comfort items 

From flip flops to eye masks, something comfy for later in the day will always go down well. Whether they need to change out of their heels at the reception or want to get a good night’s sleep after the wedding, these are a great idea. 

3. Sweet treats 

Go for some cute sweets, chocolates, mini cupcakes and biscuits to keep their energy up. There’s so much to choose from, and you could even get them personalised. Give your girls a sugar rush or a pick me up, for between all the dancing and running around.  

4. Handwritten notes 

Write each bridesmaid a heartfelt note, share special memories, inside jokes and a picture of the both of you together. This will add meaning to the gift. 

5. Practical items 

We’re thinking tissues, water bottles, instant stain remover and a mini sewing kit, whether it’s wiping away happy tears or fixing a tear in her dress, your bridesmaids will have everything they need. 

It’s the thought and effort you put into curating these bags that will make your bridesmaids feel truly special.
