The bridesmaids are the unsung heroes behind a wedding. It is typical that for a bridesmaid to invest a week’s worth of labor and possibly a small sum of cash into her friend’s wedding. On top of that, the bridesmaid has to put up with the stress and drama that inevitably accompany any wedding. It is important to remember the bridesmaids while planning, and most importantly make them feel special and appreciated. Bridal showers favors are a great way to say thank you.
Some brides think that buying the dress is enough. Newsflash: buying the dress in NOT enough. In fact, many bridesmaids feel that if they are required to wear a certain dress, then the bride and groom should provide it.
Stun and Amaze the Bridesmaids
A wedding day is all about the bride and groom, and even the best of friends get tired of the I, me, my that comes with the territory. Though few will mention it, they almost all feel a little grated upon by the time the wedding arrives – even when the bride is as sweet as pie.
Before the wedding is the bridal shower, when the bride gets awesome gifts from her best friends. Be the smart bride and be ready to turn the tables on them with thoughtful bridal showers favors that each of them will use over and over again.
Custom picture albums or collages: Pick a small album and load with pictures of yourself and the bridesmaid through the years. When they open their gifts, initially they will think it is just the same thing for each of them. Watch their eyes light up as they flip through hand chosen pictures!
Purse, compact mirror and purse hook packages: There are so many possibilities with this concept. You could either give them all snazzy purses or compact mirror that match the dress, or you could give them all unique purses and a themed purse hook.
Get Crafty: Pick out a small, inexpensive, but cute jewelry box. Then make each bridesmaid a unique piece of jewelry, themed with the wedding colors. Tuck each piece into the box, then give each girl a unique keepsake. They will want to wear them at the wedding and beyond.
Wowing the bridesmaids is super-easy when you show them that your care for them as much as they care for you.
Plus, considerate bridal showers favors will go a long way towards softening any Bridezilla moments (you will have at least one!) that happen.
