Low cost sentimental bridesmaids gifts

8 replies

I’m planning to do little gift bags for my bridesmaids, filled with the usual goodies like prosecco and smellies, but I’d love to add something a bit more sentimental too. I was thinking of including cute matching gold jewellery, like lockets. I know people often get these types of things and never end up wearing them, so I don’t want to go too expensive – something that’s meaningful but not too expensive. There are 6 bridesmaids, so ideally, I’d like to keep it under £80 for all 6. I know that might be tight, but if anyone has any suggestions for something meaningful and affordable, I’d really appreciate it!

Maybe the bracelets? Here are some cute looking ones https://www.jewellerybox.co.uk/products/gold-plated-sterling-silver-four-leaf-clover-7-inch-bracelet and they come in various colors. I feel like the bracelets have more chances being worn than other type of jewelry
Are you having a bridal shower? You can make a slideshow for the party and mention and thank every bridesmaid personally. My sister did it at her shower and it was very heartwarming.

I gave each of my bridesmaids a photo frame after the event - on one side there was a picture of me and all the bridesmaids together, and on the other side I chose a photo personal to that friend eg her and her partner at the wedding. Some of my friends still have them displayed in their homes 10+ years later.

I got little silver compact mirrors in the Swarovski sale think they were about £25 at the time but I only had 3 bridesmaids!! None of mine would of appreciated jewellery!

A bride I know did a framed picture, a word cloud in the shape of heart, with words that describe the person, referencing memories and thanks for being a bridesmaid. It was lovely! And personal, and can be given during the ceremony. Recipient had never worn jewellery so she had to think outside the box!

Maybe put Prosecco , candle , pair of earrings and a voucher

A note, and a well thought out gift like suggested but I would put more money into the gift and forget about the candle and other goodies etc.

This is lovely and would appeal to a wide range of people.

We bought everyone involved in our wedding a nice piece of sterling silver jewellery made by a local jeweller (women got earrings or necklaces, men got cufflinks). Rather than messing about with smellies and prosecco put all your money into one decent gift. And surely if you can afford 6 bridesmaid dresses you can afford to give them a gift of decent value.
