Being a bridesmaid is not an easy task, which is why it is so important that your bridesmaids know how much it means to you that they are participating in your very special day. Being a bridesmaid is expensive, time consuming and, all-in-all, a relatively selfless act especially considering it is you that got your prince charming, not them. While most of the gift giving will be towards the bride and the groom, the bridesmaids should not be left without their proper token of appreciation. The best bridesmaid gift is one that is both unique and memorable.

Who needs another string of pearls, compact mirror, jewelry box or keychain? Give your bridesmaids something that says, “we are a fun couple with fun friends.” For example, an engraved hanging bottle opener is not your run of the mill bridesmaid gift – it is fun, functional, and feisty. Add a personalized name plate, customize the design, and you are off and ready to go. By personalizing your gift with something like the name of the bride and groom, the date of the wedding, or a favorite motto adds a touch of thoughtfulness and reiterates that time was put into the ...

Your bridesmaids will undoubtedly be grateful to be friends with a bride who takes a few moments out of being the center of attention to show them how much they mean to her. Between all the parties - the bachelorette party, the bridal shower, and the engagement celebration – it is easy to forget about everything that everyone else put in to make your perfect day--perfect. Showing a little appreciation to the wonderful bridesmaids will ensure that the overall memories of the wedding will be ones of joy and merriment as opposed to bridezilla and unnecessary expenses.

Your gift does not have to cost an arm and a leg – for somewhere between twenty and forty dollars you can have a great, personalized, and fun gift for your bridesmaids. For example, Capcatchers.com offers a variety of bottle openers and other unique gift ideas such as beer and ice buckets as well as glassware, all of which would be perfect for your fun-loving bridesmaids. Better yet, give a gift like that and the groomsmen are going to be wishing they were bridesmaids!
