Your bridesmaids stand beside you on one of the biggest days of your life, and a thank-you gift is a lovely way to tell them what that means. Here are bridesmaid gift ideas they will actually use, from the wedding morning to long after the day.
1. Matching robes for the wedding morning
The most-loved bridesmaid gift of all. Matching robes look beautiful in getting-ready photos, keep everyone comfortable while hair and make-up are done, and are worn for years afterwards. Choose a soft, breathable fabric so they are comfortable on a warm morning: a TENCEL™ robe or, for something extra special, a mulberry silk robe. Pick one colour for everyone, or a softer shade for the bridesmaids and ivory for the bride.
2. Pyjama sets for the night before
If you are staying together before the wedding, a matching pyjama set turns the night before into part of the celebration. Embroidered sets like our Ciel set with bow embroidery feel special without being fussy, and they become everyday favourites after the wedding.
3. A gift box she can open on the morning
Put together a small box for each bridesmaid to open while you get ready: a robe or a pair of pyjamas, a handwritten note, and a small keepsake. Our build-your-own gift set arrives in our signature pink gift box, ready to hand over.
4. Something personal
A handwritten letter costs nothing and is often the gift they keep longest. Add a printed photo of the two of you, a piece of jewellery chosen to match their dress, or a keepsake engraved with the wedding date.
5. Something for the hen do
Matching robes or pyjamas also work brilliantly for a hen weekend or a pamper night, so the gift starts being used before the wedding day itself.
6. A gift for the maid of honour
Your maid of honour usually does the most. Set her gift apart with an upgrade, such as a silk robe while the bridesmaids wear TENCEL™, or add a personal letter about everything she has done.
Tips for choosing bridesmaid gifts
- Think about what they will use again. Robes and pyjamas are worn for years; novelty items are often left behind.
- Get sizes right. Ask quietly, or choose relaxed fits like robes that suit a range of sizes.
- Order early. Allow time for delivery, especially if you are ordering for the whole bridal party.
- Give them on the morning. Handing gifts out while you get ready means everyone can wear them for the photos.
