Hey girls, just curious as to when you are giving out your bridal party gifts, before or after the wedding?? Also, if before, how far before? I don't even know what to get the bm's, still trying to think of a unique idea. But lemmie know your thoughts, thanks!!

Yes, we will be together the night before at my house and the day of as well. So even though we do not have a rehersal dinner, I have other wedding-related events going on the night before so I might just give it to them then or day of. I just didn't realize people did it that close to the wedding. I thought it would be like the week before or something like that.

I think its a personal preference. I've seen both ways. Some people want it to be more private than others and feel that doing it separately keeps it more personal.

Re: When do you give the bridal party gifts?
When I was MOH in my best friends wedding, she gave it to me and one other bm two days before the wedding because we were with her, and the other bm's the night before or morning of. She got us all different things, and told us privately 'Don't buy earings' or 'don't buy a purse!' She gave me a beautiful hairclip with stones that that matched the dress and a beautiful pair of earings that also matched. Other BMs got either a purse or earings. I loved it. My stupid future ex SIL (my brother's soon to be ex) gave us bathrobes, the day of the wedding. That was ridiculous. We had these boxes with us that we had to keep in her suite and remember to bring home, and it was not at all wedding related. I'm not bitter at all about her, huh? So I recommend doing it a few days before, and I don't think they all have to be together, I think its fine if you give the gifts privately.

If you're not having a rehearsal dinner b/c its not culturally necessary, why dont you take the BP out for brunch or something the weekend before and do them then?

Re: When do you give the bridal party gifts?
Brunch sounds like an awesome idea, I think I might do it then, but only if I can get them all together. Thanks for the ideas!!
