So as a bride and maybe a former bridesmaid yourself, you know firsthand the sacrifices and responsibilities of a bridesmaid.

It will feel natural to you as a gracious, Southern bride-to-be to want to love on and thank your girls for all the time, attention, and money they have put into standing by your side. One way to thank them for not only being in your wedding, but also being a lifeline throughout your life, is by giving them a gift or a collection of gifts on or before your wedding day.

You might be wondering, well, I love my bridesmaids more than homemade pie, so how many presents should I be giving them? Well, that is all up to you and the budget you have set for the wedding. Here are a few questions to think through...how many bridesmaids do I have? What's my budget and how much do I have to spend? What would I like to give them- something to wear while getting ready or something they can use, like a classic weekender bag or monogrammed train case?
There's no right or wrong answer to how many gifts to give. Brainstorm what you'd like to give and how that falls within your budget. You can also do one really nice gift, like a monogrammed pajama set, along with a thoughtful handwritten note. Or you can give a classic tote bag and fill it with 3 of each girls' favorites (from The ULTIMATE Bridesmaid Questionnaire). There are so many options and ways to give. What is most important is the heart behind the gift.
