The Complete Guide to Choosing Gifts for Your Wedding Party

So, your wedding ceremony approaches, and you still don't know what to give your wedding party as a thank you? After everything your bridesmaids and groomsmen have done for you, you want to express gratitude perfectly. Luckily, we've compiled this guide to choosing presents for your beloved friends.

Nine Tips When It Comes to Choosing Gifts

It’s essential to thank your wedding party for the time, effort, and money spent on wedding-related events. So, here are some pointers to consider around giving them something special.

1. According to A Saratoga Wedding, most sources agree you should spend $75-150 on each wedding party member. Keep in mind that this is a suggestion, NOT a rule.

2. Consider how much an individual has traveled to help you when contemplating the pricing of their present.

3. It's common to give all bridesmaids and groomsmen the same thing but remember, your flower girl will require something age-appropriate.

4. If you have a small wedding party, you may be able to spend more on each gift. If you have a large party, you might want to go cheaper.

5. Keep your wedding budget in mind. Don't spend more money than you're comfortable with, and your wedding party will likely understand. 

6. Giving affordable personalized gifts have far more value than an expensive trinket.

7. Whether you're the bride or the groom, you may want to upgrade the Maid of Honor or Best Man's gift. Additionally, some couples find it meaningful to spend one-on-one time with their two special friends when they give them their present.

8. As for the rest of the gifts, we believe that you should present them whenever it feels right for you. Although, many couples opt to give out presents at the rehearsal dinner.

9. There are alternatives to purchasing gifts: You could cover wedding expenses, like attire, or write thoughtful thank you cards. If you can afford it, you may want to do both!
