Gifts for Wedding Part

Knottie1450319071 · August 2016

Hello!
I am trying to decide what gifts to get for my wedding party. I have three bridesmaids, two female ushers, and my sister-in-law is co-officiating the ceremony. Should I get everyone the same thing? Different gifts for bridesmaids than ushers and officiants? What is the etiquette for who should receive what kind of gifts? Do you have any recommendations for gift ideas?

Thank you!

Get each person an individualized gift that he or she would enjoy. What would you get these people if you were shopping for their birthdays?

I don't know them, so I can't make gift suggestions for them.

There really are no rules for this. The gift is to say "Thank you for your time, I'm honoured to have you as a part of my ceremony".

Gifts should be personal. Shop like you are buying for their birthday. Gifts need not be extravagant.

Shop for your WP like it is their birthday. It doesn't have to be extravagant, just thoughtful and personal. Their gift should in no way be tied to the wedding (i.e. mani/pedi for the day of, robes, jewelry to be worn for the wedding, etc).

I got a cross pen for my sister, a jewellery box for my MOH and a silver compact mirror for my BM. I got them all engraved.

@ScottishSarah was your wedding at the weekend or have I got myself mixed up?

I did a Birch Box 3 month subscription for my bridesmaids and then a necklace that I thought suited their personal taste (not to wear in the wedding), as well as some small things (lip gloss, small cosmetic bag, candies, tissues). It ended up a bit random, but I was overwhelmed with the "shop like it's their birthday" when I knew that all of them really didn't want more "stuff". They LOVE the Birch Box subscriptions.
