Thank them for standing by your side with a present emblazoned with their initials, zodiac constellation, or birth stone.
1 of 23
On your wedding day, there are two words you won't be able to say enough: "Thank you." Expressing gratitude to the families who helped raise and shape you and your soon-to-be spouse is a big-day must. You'll quickly realize that it's just as important to say thanks to your bridesmaids as it is to your mom and dad. They've supported you in different—but just as meaningful—ways. These women have seen you through childhood, college, and beyond; they've been there through every low (and high!) life has ever thrown your way. They watched you fall in love and, perhaps most importantly, carried you through the wedding-planning process
. It's easy to understand why thanking your attendants appropriately should be high up on your priority list.
Though no gift could ever express how you feel about your 'maids, giving them something to open on the morning of the wedding is a thoughtful gesture—one they'll certainly appreciate, especially if that gift goes beyond the generic. To help you find the perfect option, we went ahead and rounded up our favorite personalized bridesmaids' gifts that are available right now. From initial-embroidered wicker bags and birth stone necklaces to hand-painted leather clutches and constellation-adorned ceramic catch-all, there's something here that your best friends (and sisters!) are sure to love.
While all of the following gifts are customizable, we'd like to suggest one additional tip for making these presents as personal as they can be: Buy each 'maid something different. After all, the women in your life have different personalities and interests, meaning no one gift could ever fit all.

Customized Fragrance
If you know her go-to fragrance—and, therefore, whether she gravitates towards spicy, musky or floral, sweet aromas—create her very own bottle, note by note. With Waft, not only can you build a completely customized perfume, but you can also name the final product. Label the bottle with her nickname, an inside joke, or another fun phrase that speaks to your relationship.

Birth Flower Necklace
We're all for a personalized initial necklace, but a piece of jewelry that speaks to another component of who she is makes for a gift that's a less expected. Consider these charm baubles, engraved with each month's birth flower, for example. They're dainty enough to blend in with the rest of her gold pieces, but special enough to stand out, however many chains she decides to layer.
