Wanting to give an unusual bridesmaid gift is one thing, but finding one is a
different matter altogether. However, maybe "finding" is not the right way to go
about it. You want to thank the bridesmaids for their support on your special
wedding day, so why not thank them by arranging something special for them, in
which they, not you, are the focus of attention?
What you do will, of course, depend on budget, and what you think the
bridesmaids will all appreciate. Here are just a few ideas for unusual
bridesmaids' gifts that you could arrange.
Bridesmaids' Bash
On the wedding day itself, you probably had a reception and maybe a disco or
some form of entertainment for the wedding guests. Again, the stars of the show
were you, the bride and groom. One sure way to show appreciation is for you to
stand aside and bring the bridesmaids to the fore, to feel very special and
appreciated.
One thing you could do is to arrange a Bridesmaids Bash, a party arranged just
for them. If you are going away for a honeymoon, would it not be nice to get
back home, and a few days latter have a special party organised for the
bridesmaids Of course, you can give them a small memento also, but as the main,
and unusual, bridesmaids gift, a fun bash in which they are the focus, could go
down really well.
Bridesmaids' Beauty Binge
There is no doubt that almost every bride and groom goes to great lengths to
look their best on the wedding day; the same is true of the bridesmaids. There
is also no doubting that girls and young women across the bridesmaid age group
do feel special when they are having a lot of attention being paid to their
health and beauty.
For an unusual bridesmaids' gift, how about negotiating with a local parlour for
a group beauty session for all the bridesmaids? It would be fun for them to go
together a couple of weeks after the wedding, and have a makeover, pedicure,
manicure, new hairdo, massage; whatever you can afford to make a fuss of them
for an hour or two, or three.
Bridesmaids' Bloat Out
Another bridesmaid gift idea that is a bit unusual is, rather than the full
Bridesmaids' Bash, take them all out for a special meal a week or two after the
wedding. This idea is not for those on a diet, but as they are all young and
probably in good shape, some sort of feast, a Bridesmaids' Bloat Out, could be a
good idea. It is best to sound them out in advance, so you can choose a venue
they will all be delighted with, whatever their age.
To make it special, you could arrange for a local florist, or the establishment
manager, to deliver flowers, or some other gift, to the table. A little bit of
imagination could make this a fun occasion to all and give the bridesmaids the
special attention they deserve.
