Accessories for Everyone

Jewelry is a classic gift for bridesmaids but it can be useful the groomsman too! When it comes to your girls, something that they can wear for your wedding, like a necklace, is always a smart idea. Take it a step further by getting something monogrammed so it’s more personal for them, this way, they will want to wear it long after your special day is over. We love a simple necklace that can be engraved with initials, a name or a date that is special to them. Another option is getting jewelry that doesn’t need to be worn for your wedding. While it may take more shopping around time, you can get a bit more personal by simply gifting a piece you know your girls will love.

For the guys, also think of items that can be used on your wedding day. Something like a watch, tie, tie bar or cufflinks are perfect for the occasion and, like the bridesmaids’ jewelry, will be used after the wedding for other special events.

Take the time to pick out a pair that will complement each person’s style. That way you know that you are offering them a gift that will be used for years to come. Plus, bulk ordering on e-commerce sites like Warby Parker makes it easy for you to buy for the women and the men in one purchase and it can also save you money and time.

Bridesmaids Clutches

I think we all know how excited women got when their dresses happen to have pockets in them! However, it isn’t always easy to find bridesmaids’ dresses with such a luxury. Instead, gift the girls matching clutches that they can hold during your ceremony to keep all of the essentials like their cell phone, any emergency items for the bride and some tissues. Sticking with something simple is best here so you know that no matter the style of each person in your wedding that they will be sure to use it again.

Personalized Growlers

If you have a group of groomsmen that’s filled with beer aficionados and then give them one-of-a-kind glasses or growlers. These can be personalized with their name, your wedding date, and even their favorite color. However, you don’t have to focus it on your wedding you can choose to personalize it with just their name to make it an exciting piece to add to their collection!
