10 Things to Consider When Looking for Maid of Honor Gifts
In search of the perfect gift for your Maid of Honor? Read these 10 tips and keep them in mind while you shop and you are sure to land on the perfect gift!
1. Get her something she can wear on your wedding day
This is a great idea that takes care of some wedding planning on your hand but is also a wonderful gift that she will be able to wear after your wedding as well.
This may be a special belt or sash, or piece of jewelry you would like her to wear. It will always have special meaning, but it is a nice gift as well that she will enjoy wearing.
2. Think personalized
Weddings are the perfect occasion for personalized gift items, including for your Maid of Honor.
Whether that is something she will wear on the wedding day (such as a robe that has her name or ‘Maid of Honor’ on it) or an item she can use after the wedding.
Think about what she loves to do and use that as inspiration to get her something she will enjoy.
Is she active? Get her a monogrammed water bottle! Into fashion? Monogram a piece of jewelry. The possibilities are nearly endless!
3. Consider being (slightly) selfish
Hear us out on this one! If you do want to give your Maid of Honor a gift before wedding planning begins, consider getting her something that will help her out with all of her Maid of Honor duties.
She will be well aware when you ask her to be your Maid of Honor that she will have certain things to plan, so getting her something like a nice notebook or planner can be a thoughtful way to help her out.
But, let’s face it, it helps you out too as it will keep her organized! Everyone wins!
4. Drinks anyone?
Let’s face it, a nice bottle of wine or champagne always makes for a great gift, especially in a wedding set!
It is certainly a time to celebrate, and therefore it is a wonderful idea to get her a nice bottle that you can likely enjoy with her! Cheers!
5. Help her feel her best
Wedding day pictures last forever! Help your Maid of Honor feel and look her best by getting her a thoughtful item that will relax her and have her looking her best.
Perhaps a spa set or set of face masks or body lotion. It feels great, and helps her feel great! What could be better than that?
6. Cozy up
A great gift to get for your Maid of Honor is something she can enjoy after a long day.
A nice pair of slippers, a cozy robe or blanket is just the thing she might need after a stressful day at work or a long day of wedding planning!
7. Think back
A great source of inspiration for a gift for your Maid of Honor in the past. What are some of your best memories with her?
Use that to guide you towards the perfect gift. Perhaps get some old pictures of you both framed and give that to her.
It is a wonderful gift that she will love and that will further explain why you are so happy to have her as your Maid of Honor.
8. Take her out
A wonderful gift is your time. We all know that wedding planning can take a lot of time and energy, but sometimes you need to take a step back and just relax.
Go out with your Maid of Honor and have a nice dinner and grab some drinks.
It is a great way for you to relax and to also thank her for everything she is doing as well to help ensure your special day is perfect.
9. Think outside the (wedding) box
Your gift does not have to directly tie into your wedding. If you don’t want to get her something that relates to your big day, don’t!
Consider getting her something that is about her and her alone as a true way to show your appreciation for her.
Think about her interests, passions, or even her fashion sense, and let that guide you towards the perfect gift.
10. Relax
Last, but not least, take a deep breath and relax! A long wedding to-do list can easily make you feel overwhelmed, and trying to find everyone in your wedding party the perfect gift can make you feel even more stressed out.
Always remember that the people in your wedding party (and especially your Maid of Honor) love you and understand you are going through a lot!
No matter what gift you get her, she will love it and appreciate that you took the time to find her something.
