Destination Wedding Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

Destination Wedding

What Do You Get For Your Girls Who Traveled Miles Away For Your Big Day? Read This Blog To Find Out!

Making phone calls and sending text messages asking your Besties to stand by your side on your wedding day are OUT ! Instagram-able bridesmaid proposal boxes and gifts are In! - and I'm SOOO here for it 👍 It's a great excuse to surprise, spoil, and take the cutest pictures with unsuspecting friends! It's also thoughtful way to show your appreciation for their support and to commemorate the special occasion. Here are some ideas for gifts to give your bridesmaids specific to Destination Weddings:

1. Personalized Items Opposed To The Typical "Bridesmaid" Gear: Now hear me out... I know that personalized = pricey BUT, items with their initials will be used waaaaaay past your wedding weekend. Consider requesting a cricut machine as an early wedding gift to save some coins on all things personalized. If you are only getting a few items, there are plenty of businesses that can be found on instagram to make items for your big day. I used Distinctly Crafted Creations to make a bunch of things for my wedding... including my bridesmaid gifts! 

2. Tote Bags: Tote bags are practical gifts that can be customized with your bridesmaids' names, initial's, and or your wedding location. These can be used to carry essentials during your destination wedding and as a keepsake afterwards.

3. Spa or Self-Care Kits: I absolutely Love this idea, especially because spa masks are soooo easy to find at your local drug store and are CHEAP! Other items like scented candles, bath bombs, and skincare products help your bridesmaids relax and unwind during their resort stay and beyond.

4. Local Souvenirs: Since you're having a destination wedding, consider gifting your bridesmaids local souvenirs or products from the wedding location. This can include handmade crafts, chocolates, or a bottle of local wine or spirits (we did Sangria 😜). This also supports the local economy... Yay! 

5. Robes or Pajamas: Robes or pajama sets can make for comfy pre-wedding attire and GREAT pictures! Your bridesmaids can wear these while getting ready for your big day and at home as well.

6. Flip-Flops, Beach Towels, and Sun-hats: For a beach destination wedding, consider gifting these items that can also be used at the resort. Towels/towel clips, sun hats, and cute fip flops that will help them comfortably stroll on the sandy shores are a great idea!

7. Personalized Travel Accessories: Give your bridesmaids personalized luggage tags, passport covers, or travel wallets to make their journey to your destination wedding super special.

8. Handwritten Letters and Gift Cards: Include a heartfelt handwritten letter expressing your gratitude and love for each bridesmaid. Personal touches like these can be incredibly meaningful. Consider giving gift cards to their favorite stores, restaurants, or online shops, allowing them to choose a gift they'll truly enjoy.

9. First Aid or Recovery Kit: For those late nights spent partying during you wedding weekend think about gifting liquid Iv's, and Tylenol. For the long days sunscreen and aloe vera soothing gel are a must! Tide stain pens, needle/ thread, and safety pins are also very practical and will definitely come in handy

10. Experience or Activity Vouchers: If your destination wedding location offers unique experiences or activities, such as a spa day, a snorkeling trip, or a rum tasting tour, consider gifting vouchers for these experiences.

Remember to consider your bridesmaids' individual tastes and preferences when selecting gifts, and try to make the gifts both meaningful and memorable for them. A thoughtful and personalized gesture will show your appreciation for their support on your special day.
