Wedding thank you bag ideas

12 replies

Looking for some ideas for wedding thank you bags I’m making up for my bridal party. I’ve bought little personalised clutch bag/toiletry bags. So far I have thought I will put in the lipstick from their makeup trial, and I have personalised mirrors.

Any more ideas? I’m stumped! I’ll put them in a larger bag with a bottle of Prosecco and a glass.

Thanks!

I've previously had:

  • Matching pyjamas and dressing gown for wedding morning for pictures.
  • A personalised hanger for our dresses
  • A bracelet to wear for the wedding
  • Our hair combs/clips for the wedding day
  • A personalised champagne flute for the morning of the wedding
  • Make up bag
  • Sweets
  • Flip flops
  • Mixture of mini toiletries
  • a small photo album of pics of me and bride/wedding party over the years

Not all for the same wedding! but items I've been given when I've been bridesmaid.

Thanks so much! Brilliant ideas.

The sweets 😂😂

The pyjamas/dressing gowns made for really nice pictures (if you're having the photographer there while getting ready)

The bracelet was lovely as I wear it all the time and I loved the photo album too.

I did a personalised mug (I reckon people actually use mugs!), a photo album of us together, small pot of Vaseline, mini Prosecco, chocolates and a pashmina.

Thank goodness I’m married.

I didn’t even know this was a thing.

Nothing to add but I would be madly curious about what the Vaseline was for....Blush

Scented candle with a personalised label?

You need to be careful it doesn’t turn into the equivalent of a kid’s party bag full of tat, that will be chucked at the earliest opportunity. Don’t waste money on twee shite like pyjamas/candles/photo albums. Maybe decent jewellery (tasteful, not cheap and cheerful ) or a good bottle of champagne.

personally I'd avoid anything more that's personalised. There's only so much stuff you need with your name on it, and I'm never sure what I'm actually meant to do with it all. I hate clutter and waste so I'd go with consumables like chocolate or posh toiletries

I bought my bridesmaids:
Clutch bag to use on the day
Lip balm
Gel eye mask for the morning after
Small compact mirror
A Prosecco flavoured lollipop (blue with silver glitter to match the colours)
A thank you card
A bracelet from not on the high street with their initial on (one I knew they would all wear)

I had bought their dresses and paid for their hair and make up to be done on the day too

We also had matching pjs (shorts were £5 each from Asda, matched with a plain vest from M&S - not bridal ones. We all still wear them!)

Is there any other way?
