Unique Bridal Party Gifts

Show your gratitude with thoughtful gifts.

This is going to hurt: your bridal party is not as excited about your wedding as you are. Sure, they're looking forward to the celebration and are honored to be an integral part of your big day. But for the most part, being a bridesmaid or groomsman is a duty--one that requires great sacrifices in the time and money departments. So show them your gratitude with thoughtful gifts that they'll love.

For the Bridesmaids:

Give each girl a signature Henri Bendel makeup bag stuffed with beauty products that complement her skin tone, or give each attendant a different Sydney Evan beaded bracelet. Treat each of your friends to a manicure/pedicure at a nice salon in her own neighborhood. If you're dragging them to a destination wedding at the beach, give them all a chic pair of K. Jaques Capri sandals. For something really special, order the two-initial Deco Monogram Necklace from Lizzie Scheck.

For the Groomsmen:

Treat them to a quality badger brush and good shaving cream with The Art of Shaving's Full Size Kit. Another idea is to give each groomsman a pair of tickets to his favorite baseball team, or give them all pre-loaded iPod shuffles. If your wedding is at the beach, get the guys each a pair of Vilebrequin trunks. For the real "he's a guys' guy" type, order personalized BBQ branders from Sporty's.
