To still buy gift without one bridesmaid

[EVWert]

Hello,
There are 5 of us who are bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding.
We have been discussing ideas for upcoming hen do and things to buy as joint and 4 of us are really eager. However, one has not been replying to many messages.
I've tagged her to make sure she is seeing the messages, but she clearly sees them as the tick goes blue.
We need to buy gifts for the bride and she responded this morning saying that she hopes we don't mind but she's getting overwhelmed with all this gift chat and thoughts of spending.

Now I wouldn't mind this but she's got a high-paying job so I don't know why money would be an issue?
We want to present the gifts on the eve of the wedding but we're finding it a bit awkward now as if she's not getting involved we can't really present the gift as then it might make her feel awkward as she didn't put money towards it.

Literally, all it is is a necklace, earrings and bracelet and between the 5 of us it won't be much.

another one whose never heard of giving gifts to the bride (in addition to the usual wedding gifts you would give to the bride and groom) so it's not something you need to do.

I'm also doubtful that a necklace, earrings and bracelet wouldn't amount to 'not much' even between five of you - unless it's really cheap tat (which wouldn't be a particularly nice wedding gift) surely it won't be less than £25 each bare minimum, which, on top of hen party, travel to wedding, normal wedding gift, any overnight accommodation etc and, if you have to pay for any of the bridesmaid dress/shoes/hair/makeup, could add up to a lot. If she does have a high paying job she might also be a high tax payer/have huge student loan/pension deductions, and commensurately high outgoings, so you can't assume she can afford or justify it.

If you haven't even had the hen yet then surely you've got a while and there's no huge rush?

Also giving jewellery the evening before might be awkward for the bride because she might take it as a hint you want her to wear it for the wedding, whereas she will have presumably have already sorted all her jewellery.

Never heard of giving gifts to the bride…
but if 4 of you want to then just have a gift card with your names on.

Why do you have to buy gifts for the bride? Has she paid for everything for the bridesmaids?

So because your family do something you are now forcing to participate but not considering other families may feel differently
