Wedding Attendant Gifts to Show Appreciation

It is customary for the bride and groom to buy a gift for the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer and their parents. The Wedding Attendant gifts are often given at the rehearsal dinner. Personalized gifts with engraving are a common wedding attendant gift.

The gifts for the bridal attendants should be fairly easy to buy. Jewelry is the most common gift to give. The jewelry can be chosen to match the wedding attendant’s gown for the wedding. Matching jewelry for each attendant is very nice and adds a nice touch to the wedding ceremony and reception. Other popular gift ideas for wedding attendants are jewelry boxes, business card holders, pink flasks, and even more unique gifts that can be personalized for each woman’s individual taste and personality.

The most traditional wedding attendant gift for groomsmen is a flask; other popular gifts are personalized items cufflinks, and tool kits.  Some examples of personalized gifts are golf sets, tool kits, pocket knives that can be engraved and shaving kits.  A monogrammed bag is a great gift. It could be a duffle bag, briefcase, carry on luggage bag, travel kit, sport bag or travel kit.

Remember the Ring Bearer and Flower Girl are Attendants too!!

For the special little girl in the wedding, there are several gifts that can be given, which are as unique as she is. There is a lovely book called "Flower Girl", which can explain her part in the wedding. Jewelry, personalized back packs and personalized piggy banks all make very nice gifts for a little girl. Adorable artistic accessories or a special flower girl basket to hold the petals she will lay at the bride’s feet are very nice.  Much of the jewelry for flower girls can be personalized with a name or monogram to make it extra special for the flower girl.

The ring bearer will also often need a special wedding attendant gift. A coin bank is a nice choice for most little boys and several styles can be engraved with the child’s name or initials.  Cufflinks or even a yo-yo with his initials engraved on it would be fun for him.  To help the ring bearer understand his responsibilities, a book titled "The Ring Bearer" is a very thoughtful gift.


Some of the most difficult wedding attendant gifts to buy for can be for the parents of both the bride and groom.  The mothers may like jewelry, jewelry boxes, or monogrammed bags.  Pearls are always traditional for a mother and to make it extra special for the mothers of the bride and groom Tahitian Pearls or colored freshwater pearls can make a special keepsake from the wedding day.

The fathers of the bride and groom traditionally receive cufflinks. Other common choices are shaving kits, monogrammed golf sets, tool kits, and engraved pocket knives. A personal gift that serves the father's interests is very special as well.
