WHERE would a bride be without her bridesmaids?
Having a group of BFF’s on hand to lend moral support and be a general source of calm and organisation on the big day is a tradition that many brides opt for—and there’s no better way to say thank you, than with a beautiful gift bag.
There are no rules when it comes to bridesmaid gifting—or weddings for that matter. Just do you! The best bridesmaid gift bags are completely personal to you and your group, whether you opt for kitsch paper bags filled with retro sweets, or elegant totes filled with hair accessories and pampering goodies.
Many brides-to-be choose to give out themed gift bags when popping the ‘will you be my bridesmaid?’ question, while a thank you bag on the morning of the wedding is another popular option—especially as it allows you to fill it with memories from the lead-up to your nuptials.
However you choose to thank your bridesmaids, selecting a gift bag is a good place to start and will set the tone for your theme and what treats you fill it with.
We’ve rounded up some of the cutest options available now: from personalised makeup bags to elegant totes that will come in handy on the day.

3. Best inclusive giftbag: Paperchase’s Medium Leaf Team Bride Gift Bag
