From planning the shower to the bachelorette party to everything they do on the actual wedding day, they put a lot of time, effort, and expense into your day. Finding a perfect bridal party gift becomes even more important when you think of everything they do for you!

Bridal Party Gift Ideas

After reading those stats, don’t you think your bridal party deserves the best gift you can afford? She is doing so much for you, so it’s only fair to show her how much you appreciate her.

I’ve talked about bridesmaid proposals before. The overall consensus for a bridesmaid proposal gift is $20-60 per bridesmaid. It’s just a little gift before the madness starts.

For a bridal party gift, though, your bridal party has put in the time/effort/expense. This gift is to show your appreciation for their effort. You’ll want to get a gift that’s about 10-25% of what they spent on your wedding. So, if your bridesmaid spent $750 total, you would want to get her a gift that’s around $75-$200.
