Get the Best of Wedding Favors

Your bridal party does a lot for the wedding. They plan, go to dress fittings, and host or attend various pre-wedding events, from the bridal shower to the bachelorette party. They're there to back you up when you're in the midst of big-day prep, and they'll be standing right beside you when you marry the love of your life. The friends and family that make up your bridesmaids deserve a reward for all of their support, and what could be more heartfelt than a present that's homemade?

Send your attendants home with a something cool and custom that says just how much they meant to you on your special day. Whether you gift them with jewelry that they can wear during the ceremony, comfy clothing to don while getting ready, or something they can use long after the reception is over, the gesture is a surefire way to celebrate your bond. Your nearest and dearest will appreciate the time you took to honor them, and your gratitude is sure to shine through whatever you dole out.

Ahead, DIY gift ideas for bridesmaids that you'll enjoy making as much as giving. Your ladies will love these creative crafts, and bonus: Putting them together may just help you take a break from the stress of wedding planning. After all, what better way to decompress than an afternoon of craft therapy? From sequined berets and beaded phone cases to personalized bubbly and homemade bath fizzies, you're bound to find something you and your crew will like.
