There are always lots of ladies in a wedding! Not only are you likely to have a maid or matron of honor and several bridesmaids, but you may also have a junior bridesmaid or female ushers or readers. Fortunately, there are many appropriate gifts to select. Consider these following suggestions:

Often, the most appreciated gift is one that means they’ll need to spend less themselves! This could mean contributing to the cost of the bridesmaid dresses, or color-coordinated gloves or jewelry. Hosiery is another great gift idea . . . especially if you buy two pair for each girl so they’ll be prepared for the unexpected! Another popular choice is a color-coordinated garter, often with a small engraved keepsake charm attached.

For those who prefer to leave the clothing expenditures to the attendants, there are many other appropriate gift choices. How about personalized stationery? A wide variety of styles are available to suit anyone’s personality and tastes. We also carry Kim Anderson’s friendship books, in which you could write a personal message to each attendant.

For a more traditional gift, try a brass or crystal champagne glass engraved with the attendant’s name, a silver-plated heart-shaped jewelry box, a decorative brass inlaid keepsake box, a mirrored compact or a perfume bottle. For something unique, consider a ring rose! These silver-plated, velvet-lined beauties in long stemmed or bud versions offer a completely wilt-proof one-of-a-kind gift!
