The bridal party is truly an important part of a couple’s most momentous day, so it’s only natural to want their gifts to reflect this special moment in time. Brides can celebrate their bridesmaids’ friendship and role in the wedding by choosing meaningful gifts that convey all the wonderful sentiments she feels.  The following gifts will allow the bride to show her gratitude to her bridesmaids and commemorate one of the happiest days of her life!

Lockets

A silver or gold locket in the shape of a heart, book, or even circle is not only a treasure any woman will value, it allows for the bride to share a tiny picture and even engrave a special quote or phrase.  Since bridesmaids share in so many special days leading up to the wedding, perhaps the locket might contain a moment of friendship—a snapshot with the bride.  The engraving may feature the wedding’s date and a quotation about friendship or love.  Even a simply engraved “thank you” will make the locket personal so that it will always evoke fond memories of the experience. 

Personalized Compact Mirror

A silver compact engraved with a special message is not only beautiful, but practical!  Each time a woman reaches into her bag to use it, she’ll think of her friend and the wonderful wedding she was part of.  There are many styles from small circular compacts to larger square compacts.  While the exterior might boast an engraved monogram, quote, or wedding date, the interior mirror might also feature an etching like “you’re beautiful” or “true friend.”  It will certainly be a meaningful token to anyone who receives such a thoughtful gift.

Personalized Frame

A gorgeous frame that is engraved with a message of friendship is a lovely way to tell someone how much their friendship means.  Include a picture of all the bridesmaids together enjoying the days leading up to the wedding.  The bride can also frame a personal note in her own writing that tells her bridesmaid how singular and special she is and what her presence at the wedding means to her. 

Trinket Box

A small trinket or jewelry box can be engraved with any message the bride wants to convey.  Simply etching the bridesmaid’s name is also a nice way to personalize the item.  Such boxes are available in glass, silver, and many other styles.  To really spice up this gift, add a small treasure like a single pearl and a handwritten message telling the bridesmaid that friendship is a pearl of life.  The bride can also include something inside the box like a monogrammed handkerchief with the wedding colours. 

Charm Bracelet

An elegant starter charm bracelet with a single dangling charm such as a heart with the bridesmaid’s monogram is not only something that will inspire a fond memory of the special day, but it’s also a jewelry item she can wear all the time.  She may add to the bracelet with other charms or simply leave it as is with the single focal point charm.  Charm bracelets are timeless and never go out of style, so it will likely become a jewel that the bridesmaid will treasure all her life. 

While there are many ways a bride can say thank you with a gift, these treasures will likely resonate with a bridesmaid forever.  Any gift with a personal message from the bride or the couple will likely show the bridesmaid how much her friendship is valued, particularly the special part she played in the big day!
