A wedding day is a very special and unique day for the bride and groom, as well as for their close family and friends, especially those who are involved in the ceremony, like the bridesmaids. Most of the time, the bridesmaids get some attention as part of the supporting cast, and it's common to give them gifts as a way to remember the event.
But as the bride and groom, you might want to thank the bridesmaids very much and do something special for them. So, you might want to think of a unique gift for your bridesmaids to show them that their role was more important to you than they might have thought and that you won't forget them.
It's one thing to want to give an unusual bridesmaid gift, but it's a whole other thing to be able to find one. But "finding" might not be the best way to go about it. You want to thank the bridesmaids for helping you on your big day, so why not do something special for them where they, not you, are the centre of attention?
What you do will depend on how much money you have and what you think the bridesmaids will enjoy. Here are a few ideas for unusual gifts you could give your bridesmaids.
Party for bridesmaids
On the day of the wedding, you probably had a reception and maybe a disco or something else to keep your guests entertained. Again, you, the bride and groom, were the stars of the show. One way to show appreciation is to step back and let the bridesmaids take the lead. This will make them feel very special and loved.
One thing you could do is throw a party just for the bridesmaids. This is called a "Bridesmaids Bash." If you're going on a honeymoon, wouldn't it be nice to come home and have a special party for the bridesmaids a few days later? Of course, you can also give them a small keepsake, but a fun party where they are the centre of attention could be a great and unique bridesmaids gift.
Beauty Binge for the Bridesmaids
Almost every bride and groom go to great lengths to look their best on their wedding day, and the bridesmaids do the same. There is also no doubt that girls and young women in the bridesmaid age range do feel special when their health and beauty are given a lot of attention.
As a unique gift for the bridesmaids, you could arrange with a local salon for a group beauty session for all of them. It would be fun for them to go somewhere together a few weeks after the wedding and get a makeover, pedicure, manicure, new hairstyle, massage, or whatever you can afford to do to make them feel special for an hour or two or three.
Bloat Out of the Bridesmaids
One unusual idea for a bridesmaid gift is to take them all out for a special meal a week or two after the wedding instead of throwing them a big party. This is not a good idea for people who are trying to lose weight, but since they are all young and probably in good shape, a Bridesmaids' Bloat Out could be a good idea. It's best to talk to them ahead of time so you can choose a place that everyone, no matter how old, will enjoy.
For a special touch, you could ask a local florist or the manager of the place to bring flowers or another gift to the table. With a little creativity, this could be a fun event for everyone and give the bridesmaids the extra attention they deserve.
