When do you plan on giving the bridal party their gifts?

i believe they are typically distributed at the rehersal dinner, but I want to do it earlier -- is that bad?

My rehearsal is also on a Friday, but so many are traveling from out of state that they'll be coming up that morning :)

i had no idea you give the bridal party gifts on RD. I did it on our wedding day while getting ready and it all worked out because the videographer include it into the wedding video highlights and it was fun to see their faces, screaming while opening gifts on video :)

We did it at the rehersal dinner. Nothing wrong with doing it early though! Maybe take them out to lunch? Or have a small gathering to thank them?

what happens if you don't have a Rehearsal Dinner? i'm getting married at the place, so i don't think i need one...

Im on the fence with this one too--- esp bc I have bm's who dont live around here so they most likely wont be in the area til the day before and Id like to give them their gifts together- we may just have a regular dinner ??? idk im not seeing my FH for a week before the wedding (jewish thang) so it may just have to be a 'girls only' dinner??????

We gave ours out at the RD because that is when everyone was together. I didn't want to give them to people separately and then people know what they got before they even got the gifts. RD was easier and 2 days before the wedding.
