Common questions about bridesmaid gifts
How much should I spend on bridesmaid gifts?
There’s no fixed rule about this because it really depends on how grand your wedding is. Bear in mind though, that your bridesmaids will probably spend quite a bit for your wedding as well – for their hair, makeup, shoes, dress and possibly travel too if they are out of town. So you might want to factor all that in, and make sure you get thoughtful bridesmaid gifts.
Overall though, if you would still like a number – a $50 gift is acceptable and $75-$100 is pretty decent.
What are bridesmaid proposal gifts for?
You are supposed to ‘propose’ or ask your shortlisted candidates, if they would agree to be your bridesmaid. Any gift from $5 to $50 is okay, when you ask them. Most often, bridesmaid proposal boxes or proposal cards are given along with a token gift. The bridesmaid proposal gift is not mandatory, so if you prefer to ask the girls informally over lunch or a call & would rather spend this amount towards getting a bigger thank you gift for your bridesmaids, you could skip the bridesmaid proposal gifts altogether.
In Conclusion – Get a Thoughtful Gift for a Bridesmaid
October is the most popular month for weddings in the US, with nearly 20% of all weddings taking place in October, according to this 2023 study by The Knot. So if you are planning an October wedding too, remember to factor in the weather while planning your bridesmaid gifts.
Choose your bridesmaids carefully, surround yourself with the ones you love on your special day. While they go crazy trying to get you the best wedding gifts, you be sure to get an extra-special thank-you gift for your bridesmaids too.
