You are such
a kind bride wanting to learn a few tips and tricks to ensure your bridesmaids
feel special! Read on and Happy Wedding day!
Ask them
to be in your wedding party in a special way. You don't have to spend a lot of
money but a sweet gesture that required thought will truly show how special it
is to you for them to stand by your side - and they will gush about how much
they loved the way you popped the question!
Planning
an out-of-town or far away destination wedding? Help your maids get there.
Traveling costs are daunting and can add up so help relieve the stress for your
girls by helping out with some aspect of the travel cost. For example provide a
room for them to stay in or gift each bridesmaid a Visa gift card to help out
with their flight.
Let them
mix and match dresses. Not one bridesmaid is the same and neither is their
budget or body shape. Give your bridesmaids a swatch of the color(s) you are
wanting and let them have the freedom to choose style and price range. This is
a win, win as your bridesmaids will be comfortable in their selection and will
likely have invested in a dress they will wear again for other occasions.
Spend a
day in the shoes you are selecting for your bridesmaids to wear. If you don't
feel comfortable in them for an extended period of time... do you really want
them to have to smile and grin the blisters and aches throughout your big day?
They will love you for choosing comfort over style!
Give them
a detailed schedule of the wedding weekend before hand including what aspects
are mandatory and which are not. They will appreciate you communicating with
them so they are able to make proper arrangements for themselves, and their
children, etc..
8. Gift your
girls something personalized. It is so much more meaningful than gifting them
identical things. This way they really cherish the thought that was put into
it. If you need ideas check out our shop- we have customizable hankies, totes,
tanks, and more waiting for you here.
Take a few
moments at your rehearsal dinner to introduce all your bridesmaids. It is
likely that neither your family or husband's family members are familiar with
each of your bridesmaids so it is the perfect time to share how you met with
the people in your life. It also gives you one more opportunity to thank each
bridesmaid individually for being there.
Have some
pampering girl time. Whether it's a day at the spa or some time set aside for
you girls to do self manis and pedis, that bonding and prep time is so fun and
you will all feel in sync when it comes to the wedding day. You don't have to
spend a fortune on spa time... just break out the polishes, make some home made
teeth whitener, and get the tanning lotion going together the night before for
girls night.
Give them
small day-of tasks. They will feel appreciated if they can help you check off
your to do list rather than just showing up and looking pretty. If they are
able to contribute to your big day they will feel even more included!
Feed them
throughout the day of the wedding! Seems like a no brainer, right? But having
snacks and drinks throughout the day is an absolute must! They are spending the
day with you, so the least you can do is nourish them starting with coffee and
breakfast all the way to your wedding dinner.
Thank
each of your bridesmaids individually with a hug before your wedding reception
exit. It is likely that you'll be jetting off on a honeymoon and be unplugged
on vacation with your now husband for a while. Make sure you show some love to
each of them before the night is over.
