Top 5 Most Popular Bridesmaids Gifts for 2013

Top 5 Most Popular Bridesmaids Gifts for 2013

Whatever would a bride do without her entourage, her most loyal of assorted girlfriends, her bridesmaids? Bridesmaids play an important role in the wedding party, along with their assistance behind the scenes of the wedding itself. It is quite fitting then when the bride herself puts forth the thought and effort of presenting her closest friends with bridesmaids gifts.

In accordance with the time honored tradition of gift giving, the bearer will want to keep in mind the unique taste, style, and interests of the recipient. You want your ladies in waiting to feel special and honored, not that you haven't the faintest clue who they are as individual people.

So far, the top five most popular bridesmaids gifts for 2013 are as follows:

1. Personalised Bracelets
A personalised piece of jewellery will show your friend that you really took the time to make sure that her gift was special. Also, no one can steal her bracelet and get away with it. (Unless the thief has the same name, that is.)

2. Engraved Jewellery Boxes
Again, this is a most memorable keepsake. Whenever she's putting her jewellery to rest, she will look at her memento and remember with fondness the spectacular time she had at your wedding.

3. Hair Clips, Pins & Combs
This choice depends on her hair length and preferred styling methods. This is a gift that can be used on the wedding day for those pesky stray locks when dancing.

4. Jewellery
Not just any jewellery; something that coordinates perfectly with the bridesmaids' dresses. As an added bonus, it should bring out the colour in her eyes.

5. Flats
Or flip flops, in colors coordinating with the general theme. It's not a conventional bridesmaid's gift, but it is practical. All of that walking in those sexy shoes is going to catch up with everyone at some point during the festivities. (Perhaps the bride should score a pair for herself as well?)
