Gifts for Your Attendants

You've gathered together some of the most important women in your life. They might be blood relations -- she’s a sister, a special cousin -- or perhaps you’ve just been through the fire together -- she’s a roommate from way back when, a college friend or a co-worker. Each for her own special reason has won a place in your heart for life. No matter what kind of budget you're on, we've got some great ideas for bridesmaid gifts. Give her a bridesmaid gift she'll love with these simple suggestions:

• A silver jewelry or keepsake box is a classic gift. These are available in a variety of styles, sizes and price ranges. You might consider having it engraved -- with her name, or with the date of the wedding, as a reminder of the special day she "stood up" for you. It’s a traditional gift that is personal and likely to be used (and appreciated!) often.
• Makeup accessories are always a hit with bridesmaids; these elegant makeup brushes are indulgent and luxurious and are a fabulous gift that will make each and every bridesmaid feel like royalty.
• Consider giving something that’s both tasteful and elegant. An illusion candle may be the ideal choice for bridesmaids.
• A classic pen is a terrific gift for your attendants (you might consider this option for both female and male attendants).
• Many brides opt to give matching earrings or a bracelet or necklace to their attendants for them to wear during the wedding, to complete their matching attire. This option again offers you a wide choice for both style and cost.
• Show some style with an elegant wine set. A classy gift for your most sophisticated friends.
• Some brides offer to absorb the cost of the bridesmaids gowns to show their gratitude; this is a particularly appreciated gesture if the gown youve selected for your attendants to wear is costly.
