So I bought my bridesmaids a wrap to wear on the day of the wedding as well as, jewelry and purse. In my circle, these are always the typical bridal party gifts. After lurking on here, I learned that items to use on the wedding day are NOT gifts (which totally makes sense!). I can't return the items I have already purchased (too much time has passed), so I plan on still giving them to my bridal party in addition to a personal gift for each of them.
Originally, I had planned on giving my bridesmaids the wrap, jewelry, and purse, after my bridal shower this Sunday so they wouldn't have to worry about what to wear the day of the wedding. But now that I am planning on buying them each additional items, I'm not really sure what to do. I don't want them to think that the wedding day attire is their only gift, but I also don't want them to go out and buy a wrap/jewelry/purse to use for the wedding if they would be happy just using the ones I am giving to them. At this point, I don't even care if they wear the items I got them on the day of the wedding (again after reading other posts on here I realize it doesn't matter if they have matching jewelry, etc.) I just don't want the items I already bought to go to waste.
So my question is when should I give my bridal party the items I purchased for them to wear at my wedding? Is it ok to still give them these items now, and then give them their personal gifts after the rehearsal dinner in a couple of months?
