Looking for a creative gift for your Bridesmaids that doesn’t blow your wedding budget?  Sometimes the little things can make a big impact and show your Bridesmaid how thankful you are during this busy time.  Here are some inexpensive ideas for bridesmaid gifts:

• Make it personal: It doesn’t have to be expensive if you show that you really took time to find something special just for her.  An engraved jewelry box or picture frame are great examples.
• Travel essentials: If your bridesmaids are traveling from out of town, something small to welcome her will be much appreciated.  Whether its her favorite snacks or a local souvenir, she’ll feel much more welcome. Or how about a monogrammed tote bag to carry her stuff home in?
• Something she needs: If you’ve ever been a bridesmaid, you know that the cost can really add up.  Treat her to a manicure and pedicure, or give her the jewelry that you would like her to wear in the wedding.  A small gesture will make her feel appreciated and know that you understand her financial sacrifice for your special day.
• Something sentimental:  This one takes some thought, but chances are you will be able to think of something really special that isn’t expensive.  Maybe you could give her a newer version of that “best friends” necklace you two wore in Junior High.  Or perhaps your nickname for her is “Ladybug” so you give her something ladybug-themed.  Think about how you met, the things you’ve been through together, and the things you have in common.
