7 Personalised Wedding Gifts for Your Bridal Party

Weddings are a milestone in one’s life, the one ceremony they will remember forever. Nothing can go wrong but it’s often pretty chaotic. Who helps you through all of it and supports you? Your bridal team! 

A sure shot way to show your appreciation to your bridesmaids and groomsmen is giving them personalised wedding gifts as they are thoughtful and creative. Here are ideas for personalised wedding gifts for your bridal party that would serve as mementoes, to consider for your bridal party. 

Personalised Gift Ideas for Bridesmaids

Gold Name Necklace

Although a gold name necklace is an expensive choice, it is surely worth it as it is guaranteed to make your bridesmaids happy. A classic and elegant gift that your besties can cherish forever. It can also be worn at the wedding itself and of course, beyond that.

Opt for a delicate chain and a stylish font for the name so the elegance is truly peaking. It will be a reminder of the special bond the bride shares with her maids. 

Customised Robes

This is a wonderful gift to keep your bridesmaids comfortable and cosy during the wedding preparations! You can also capture some adorable and aesthetic group pictures. 

Make sure to choose colours and designs that go along with the wedding theme. Add each bridesmaid’s name or initials or if you have a fun name for your circle, you can add that too. We highly recommend going for luxurious materials like satin or silk for an extra special feel.

Personalised Tote Bags

Tote bags are extremely useful so your bridesmaids are sure to appreciate this one. They can use it for shopping, travelling or day-to-day errands. 

The tote bags can have their names or initials or you can get them printed in a special picture or quote that is meaningful to your loved one. For an extra surprise, why not keep some beauty products or snacks inside the tote bag? 

Engraved Jewellery Boxes

Who wouldn’t want a pretty jewellery box? Especially one that has their name engraved in it! It will be an elegant and practical gift where your girls can store their jewellery as well as any valuable personal item. 

You can go for vintage-style wooden boxes with gold lettering or go for something modern like a glass-topped box with black lettering. Whichever matches your and your bridesmaids’ taste.

Custom Scented Candles

Personalised scented candles would be a delightful gift that can help your bridesmaids relax. During the hassles of the wedding, they can take a moment, light up those candles and take a long warm bath.

Choose scents that are calming and luxurious, such as lavender, vanilla, or sandalwood. The aroma will enhance the environment of their homes. The candle labels can have the maid’s name or a heartfelt message from the bride. The colour of the candle can be according to the wedding theme.

Custom Illustrations

This is a more emotional gift option than the others on the list. You can hire an artist, digital or traditional, to create portraits of your bridesmaids. Or they can be group pictures of all the maids.

Frame these artistic illustrations and they can keep the beautiful piece of art in their homes. It would be a celebration of your friendship and the special day.

Monogrammed Scarfs

No woman can ever have enough scarves and one with your name or initials in it? Sign us up! If your wedding is in winter, this is an elegant and warm gift!

Choose pashminas in colours that match the wedding theme or your bridesmaids’s favourite colours. Have them monogrammed with each bridesmaid's initials or names with pretty embroidered patterns. This gift is not only stylish but also practical, offering warmth and comfort during the wedding festivities and beyond.

Personalised Gift Ideas for Groomsmen

Engraved Watches

A timeless and practical gift for sure. We understand men’s love for elite watches and one that is engraved with a meaningful message, date or initials, is sure to make the groom squad happy.

This classic gift combines both style and functionality.  Opt for high-quality materials such as stainless steel or leather bands to ensure durability and elegance.

Customised Cufflinks

Another traditional yet stylish gift for the groomsmen. They can be personalised with initials, a special date, quotes or a unique symbol design. Perhaps the emblem of their Hogwarts house or the logo of their favourite Marvel superhero? Either way, it will reflect the personality of each groomsman.

If the cufflink design matches the wedding theme, the groomsmen can wear it with their wedding attire and also, at future formal events.

Personalised Flasks

This portable goodness can surprise and excite your friends. They can be used during toasts at the rehearsal dinner or the bachelor party if that’s something you would like. 

Take your flask gift to the next level by pairing it with mini bottles of your groomsmen's favourite spirits. Whether it's a round of golf, a camping trip, or a night out with friends, your groomsmen will appreciate having their personalised flask by their side.

Monogrammed Leather Goods

Men use a lot of leather goods such as wallets, keychains or passport holders. Choose any of them and monogram it with their initials or name or any other preferable design.

Make sure to choose high-quality leather so they are durable and will be used and appreciated long after the big day. A small photo inside the wallet or passport holder can add an emotional touch, being the cherry on top! 

Custom BBQ Sets

Oh, what a perfect gift for the grill masters! If you and your men enjoy grilling, you will truly appreciate a personalised BBQ set. 

Engrave their names on high-quality tools like tongs, spatulas, and brushes. It’s a practical present that will be a staple at backyard barbecues for years to come. Fire up the grill and enjoy! 

Personalized Sports Gear

If your groomsmen are athletic, they are sure to love this one! Depending on the sport or activity they place, choose a related item to custom or engrave. For example, engraved golf balls, custom gym bags or personalised backpacks. 

Each gift could be tailored to the groomsman’s favourite sport, making the gift more meaningful and useful. Not only are you showing appreciation to your friends, but you are also supporting their interests. 

Custom Beer Mugs

Every friend circle has beer enthusiasts. If you happen to know a lot of them, then definitely consider going for personalised beer mugs. Those who enjoy a good brew will love it!

You could also give a selection of craft beers or home brewing kits to make the gifts even more special. This is sure to be a hit and utilised in the celebrations.

Other Ways to Keep Your Bridal Team Happy

Organise a Spa Day

A spa day with your bridal party will help them relax before the wedding. It would also be a great opportunity to bond and have fun, all while letting the stress of the usual hustle and bustle go away.

Host a Special Dinner

A special dinner or brunch with just your close-knit bridal team will be helpful in showing them gratitude. You could also arrange games to create lasting memories and make the day or night more fun!

Personal Thank You Notes

Along with their gifts, a heartfelt thank you note or a letter for each member of your bridal party will truly get your gratitude across. This adds a personal touch to the gifts and will be cherished by your squad.

Plan a Fun Outing

A bonding activity such as laser tag, paintball or escape rooms would be an adventurous day for your bridal party! Or if you want something subtle, a wine-tasting tour or a beach day can be quite fun too.

Personalised Gifts for the Juniors

Your bridal party can have little souls and we have not forgotten them. They, too, deserve love and appreciation. So make sure to get them something so they feel included. Here are some ideas for the tiny ones.

Charm Bracelets

For junior bridesmaids, consider giving customised bracelets that have charms, trinkets and perhaps their initials. Age-appropriate designs and materials that are safe and durable are highly recommended. This is sure to excite the kids which they can wear on the wedding day and have as a cherished keepsake.

Custom Plush Toys

An easy gift that is both adorable and fun. High-quality soft toys with the child’s name or initials, or even a plush that is the favourite cartoon or animal of the child, are thoughtful and delightful gifts. They will prove a source of comfort and joy for the tiny members of the team. 

Custom Storybooks

An artist can help you create a custom storybook that would feather you and your partner as well as the junior bridesmaids and groomsmen as characters in a magic adventure. The storybooks can also be given to the guests at the wedding, for everyone to enjoy. The kids will surely treasure it as well.

Personalised Water Bottles

Water bottles are an important item to carry for kids, especially at school. Their names or initials in the bottles with fun colours and designs will make them excited to show it off and even encourage them to stay hydrated. 

Conclusion

The reason personalised gifts are often better than any other gift is because it is evident that you have put thought and effort into it. Whether it is the elegant gold name necklaces for the bridesmaids or timeless engraved watches, your squad will be happy to keep them as a cherished keepsake for years to come. 

It is a wonderful way to keep your loved ones happy and make your experience more memorable for everyone involved. Even a short letter that expresses gratitude can take you a long way. So in the chaos of the wedding, make sure to take some time and invest in little tokens of love.
