A personalised gift will make her feel appreciated and valued. Explore our selection of bridesmaid gift ideas, along with helpful hints and tips to simplify shopping for the perfect present.
Why Give Bridesmaid Gifts?
Giving gifts to your bridesmaids is a meaningful way to express gratitude and strengthen your friendships. Thoughtful gifts show appreciation for their contributions to your special day.
Unique bridesmaid presents, especially personalised ones, make the gesture even more memorable. Personalisation adds a special touch that shows how much you value their individual roles.
Giving these gifts not only honours their efforts but also deepens the bond between you and your bridesmaids.
Categories of Bridesmaid Gifts
Personalised Jewellery
A piece of jewellery can be given as a gift after the wedding to say thank you, or before the wedding so your bridesmaid can accessorise her outfit on the big day itself.
Personalised items of jewellery we’d recommend include engraved necklaces complete with names or special dates, and custom bracelets adorned with initials or a short, heartfelt message.
These are just some of the gorgeous bridesmaid gifts available online at Getting Personal. Other jewellery gift ideas include personalised rings or elegant women’s watches.
Custom Accessories
Personalised accessories like monogrammed tote bags, customised compact mirrors, printed clutch bags and engraved wine glasses make fabulous, unique bridesmaid presents they can use again and again.
These thoughtful gifts blend practicality with a personal touch, guaranteeing your bridesmaids feel cherished. Every time they use their personalised accessory, they’ll be reminded of the part that they played on your truly magical wedding day.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Bridesmaid Gift
Consider the personality and preferences of each bridesmaid
Every bridesmaid is unique, and their gifts should reflect their individuality. Think about each bridesmaid’s personality, hobbies and interests before choosing their present.
Think about shared memories and experiences
Gifts that evoke memories can be incredibly meaningful. Reflect on important moments you’ve shared with each bridesmaid and choose gifts that symbolise those times.
Choose gifts that reflect the theme and style of the wedding
Why not incorporate the concept of your wedding into the bridesmaid gifts? There are plenty of ways to match their gifts with the colours, styles and themes of your big day.
Ensure the gifts are both practical and sentimental
While sentimental gifts are heartwarming, practicality is also important. Choose items that your bridesmaids can use and enjoy beyond the wedding day.
