Cheap Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

The bridesmaids and the maid of honor contribute a lot in the wedding and therefore it is important that you give them a gift to show your appreciation for their love and hard work. But what if you have a very low budget? You still want to give the best possible gift to your bridesmaids. This article will give you many cheap bridesmaid gift ideas.

The best inexpensive gifts that you can think of are homemade, do-it-yourself (DIY) and personalized gifts. Here are some ideas:

Handmade scarves, candles, and bath salts are good inexpensive gifts for bridesmaids. You can get instructions on how to make them on the internet.
You can also make bracelets on your own using the DIY bracelets that you get in the market. Or you could ask a friend to help you in making charm bracelets for your bridesmaids.
If you are confident of your drawing/painting skills, hand-painted mugs or vases are ideal for gifting bridesmaids.
You can also get a photograph of all the bridesmaids with you and get it printed on mugs, or vases or T-shirts.
If you love to cook and bake you can make some homemade cookies, cakes, jams, and jellies and gift them in a nice food gift basket, which again you can decorate on your own with flowers, ribbons and net.
Give each of your bridesmaids a beautiful embroidered cosmetic bag. If you know how to sew you can choose a beautiful pattern and do the embroidery yourself. You can also sew each of the bridesmaids’ names on the bags to personalize them more.
Get their names engraved on key chains. You can go in for silver or pewter materials. Here you can also personalize each key chain to suit the personality of each bridesmaid. For a shoe-loving bridesmaid, get a shoe-shaped key chain. If the other is into sports, get a football shaped key chain and so on.
If your bridesmaids are all childhood friends then gift them all a scrapbooks which has all your childhood memories with photos, letters, friendship bands and such other stuff.
An at-home spa gift bag is another cheap bridesmaid gift idea. This is a great alternative for a spa treatment gift, especially when you are pressed for money. Make sure the spa gift basket includes a bubble bath solution, face masks, lotions, foot massager, back scratcher and some inexpensive champagne or wine.
Inexpensive jewelry is another great gift idea. Who said jewelry always has to be diamonds. An inexpensive option is birthstone jewelry, which also has the advantage that it gives you the option of personalizing it according to each bridesmaid's birthstone.

Whatever gift you choose for your bridesmaids, decide whether you want to give them individual gifts or a group experience. It is easier to get identical gifts for each of your bridesmaids, but if they do not have the same tastes, you might have to think of different gifts. I hope the above listed cheap bridesmaid gift ideas were helpful to you.
