Bridesmaid Gift Ideas: Personalized Totes and Sweatshirts for Your Bridal Party
Your bridesmaids are with you for every dress fitting, shower and late-night planning session. Thank them with a gift that is personal and actually useful. Monogrammed tote bags and custom sweatshirts are two of the most-loved bridesmaid gifts, and here is how to make them special.
1. Monogrammed bridesmaid totes
A custom tote with each bridesmaid's initials is the perfect wedding weekend bag. It holds her shoes, makeup, a change of clothes and a water bottle, and she will use it long after the wedding.
Idea: Same tote color for everyone, each with her own 2 initials, plus 1 or 2 matching patches (like a bow and a hydrangea) to tie the set together.
2. Getting-ready sweatshirts
Matching button-downs are nice, but cozy crewneck sweatshirts are having a moment for getting-ready photos and the morning after. Give each bridesmaid a patched crewneck with her initials.
3. Bachelorette weekend sets
Heading somewhere fun? Add a patch for the destination: a palm tree for a beach weekend, a lobster for New England, or Nantucket for an island getaway.
4. A gift for the maid of honor
Go the extra mile: a tote and sweatshirt set with her initials and a patch that represents your friendship.
5. Mother of the bride and groom
A cream crewneck or a Natural & Navy tote with her initials is an elegant thank-you.
6. Something for the bride
Bridesmaids, this one is for you: a tote or crewneck with her new initials is a sweet shower or wedding-week gift.
