Bridesmaids' Hoodies/Zip-Ups

grgarofalo

I think it's a really cute idea for the bridesmaids to wear zip-up hoodies the day of the wedding, especially since they are all getting their hair done.  Does anyone have any good stores or websites where they found these (preferably for cheap)?  Is it stupid to get zip-ups that have bridesmaid written on them because they will never wear them again?  Thank you for all yout suggestions in advance - this board has given me a ton of great ideas!

Is it silly to give them something they'll likely only wear once?  Yup.  Do brides still do it anyway, though?  Yup.  Just like a hundred other things many of us have done related to our weddings that really can't be justified, haha.

An alternative (instead of writing anything on them) would be to just get the girls the hoodie outfits in your wedding colors (and yours in white).  That way they'll be more likely to wear them again and the getting ready photos will still be cute.

I think Old Navy has decently priced terry cloth zip-up hoodies, shorts, and pants.

I don't think it's an awful thing to get them plain hoodies (especially if they like hoodies in general), but I think "bridesmaid" hoodies would be a gigantic waste of your money.

I have those and I love them!! They are light and perfect to wear over a tank top. I have the hoodie in black, white and pink. I also have the black and green capris, and the black shorts!! And they are very inexpensive. I plan on wearing the white one on our wedding day while getting ready.

If you really want the "bridesmaid" thing on the hoodies (and I understand cause I have a Bride hoodie and tank for getting ready), get a cheap hoodie and order on amazon (or you may be able to get them at Michaels, etc) an iron on transfer for a buck or two that says bridesmaid and make them yourself. Its still a waste for one day, but a much cheaper waste. I did this for my flowergirl since the prmade ones were over $30 each. I got a $2 tank at target and $2 iron on and its just as cute!

Thank you for the suggestions!  I went to Old Navy, but they had NOTHING!  And the website has limited sizes.  I didn't think of Target!!!!!
