Hi everyone,

My future sister-in-law is going to be doing a reading at my wedding. She will be with myself and the bridesmaids while we get ready. Should I get her the same gift as my bridesmaids? Or something similar? I don't want her to feel left out, but I also want my bridesmaids to feel special.

Thanks

What did you get them? Did you get them all the same thing?

I might be inclined to get her the same thing if you are giving them all the gifts at the same time.  I might feel bad if I got a different gift if I was "just" a reader. Or make it *very* similar in size and cost.

I am "deaf-initely" one of a kind.

I agree, it doesn't have to be exactly what you got your BMs. Get her something you know she will like, as if you were shopping for her birthday. This is a good rule of thumb for your BMs anyway/as well. 

Your BMs shouldn't feel less special if they get the same or a similar gift as your reader. If you are that worried about it, simply do gifts in private, rather than at the RD (what a lot of people do- we are giving ours privately).

Everyone who has a part in the wedding should get a gift. Bridesmaids, flower girls, ring bearers, ushers, readers, singers....
