Bridesmaids Gifts....Meaningful and Inexpensive

After speaking with my sister this morning regarding the last few details of her upcoming wedding, she mentioned she already had gifts for her bridal party, but wanted to get them something special for the day of the wedding.  I told her I would do some research and see what I could find, and of course blog about it!  So I reached out to my fellow Etsy shops and found some great options ranging from $1 - $50.... so here it is :)

Let's start with the most expensive....

1.  CLUTCH WITH PERSONALIZED MESSAGE SEWN INSIDE - $35 to $49
I absolutely love this idea!  The clutches come in so many styles and you can coordinate them with the entire bridal party...hello functional! But of course that comes at a price, so I guess it all depends on your budget :)  Most shops let you choose the inside and outside fabric, and some even have little accessories you can choose to liven up the exterior. You can have a personalized message sewn on the inside to say whatever you like, which is quite sentimental and something the bridesmaids would cherish forever.  Overall, there are so many ways you could go with this gift to make it a lot of fun and something the girls would use for years to come.

2. PERSONALIZED BRIDESMAID WEDDING TOTE - $10
Once again, super functional, and something the bridesmaids would get lots of use out of.  Several different styles and all are cute and affordable.

3.  PERSONALIZED WEDDING HANGERS - $10

I have seen these a lot and am still drawn to them every time :)  The hangers and the wires come in all different colors so you have the choice to not be so boring if you like.  Don't know how much use they would get after the wedding, but sure is something sweet for the girls to hang onto to be reminded of that special day.

4.  FOR THE DRINKERS :) - $10.00

If your girls are into having a good time, these are cute and I'm sure will get lots of miles.  I also found a wine bag that you can personalize...after you drop a bottle in there as a bridesmaid gift!  Not a bad idea :)

5.  ETERNITY BRACELET OR NECKLACE - $1 TO $10

If you are on a real tight budget, this is something that is not personalized but can be turned into something special.  Etsy has a ton of these eternity bracelets, in all different fabrics, colors and the hardware comes in gold and silver too.  I think these along with a heart felt note to your bridesmaids would be something you couldn't put a price tag on.  Aside from being cute, the girls could wear them all the time while thinking of your special day every time they glance at their wrist :)  I also found a great eternity necklace that was a little pricier.  Both are fantastic options!

I am passing this blog onto my sister in hopes it will give her some ideas for her last minute bridal party woes!  Can't wait to see what I get, haha!! :)  Love you Nat!
