Your bridal party ladies have seen you at your worst. That breakup that you thought you’d never bounce back from, that sudden job loss, and the tragic loss of a close relative. But they’ve also seen you at your best. Welcoming your new nephew, landing your dream job so far, and finding the love of your life.
That love of your life is now your soon-to-be husband, and now is the time to show appreciation for your favorite ladies as they support you on your wedding day. Just a few easy-to-snag items are all it takes to make your big day just as special for your “girls” as it will be for you.
Let’s explore the best getting-ready goodies for your bridal party, gifts they’ll love and actually use.
1. Personalized Pajama Sets
Your girls’ glam-up time before the wedding ceremony deserves a personal touch. Personalized pajamas to the rescue! These monogrammed pajamas offer both flair and function, making them the perfect gift for getting dolled up and lounging around before your big day.
Choose pajama sets with button tops so that your bridal party ladies don’t mess up their makeup and hair, and make sure your wedding-day photographer takes plenty of snapshots of them in their personalized matching PJs. The best pajamas are also made of breathable fabrics such as cotton and come in various sizes and colors to ensure they accommodate all body shapes/sizes, and styles. Don’t be surprised if your girls wear these pajamas long after your big day.
2. Tailor-Made Toiletry Bags
Speaking of getting dolled up, make sure your bridal party ladies have customized toiletry bags to go with their personalized PJs on your wedding day. These toiletry bags are ideal for keeping makeup essentials like mascara, foundation, concealer, and more organized during your makeup application time.
The best toiletry bags feature a waterproof lining and zip compartments for added convenience. Monograms with your ladies’ first names add a touch of elegance to the bags, making them stand-out gifts for the wedding day and the days beyond it. These travel-friendly gifts can also come in handy for a bachelorette trip before the big day or a girls’ weekend trip after you become a Mrs.
3. Bridesmaid Sweatshirts
Looking for an alternative to PJs? Look no further than custom bridal gifts like bridesmaid sweatshirts. These practical, fashionable, and cozy pieces are comfortable enough to get ready in, especially during an autumn or winter wedding. Your ladies may also enjoy sporting these matching sweatshirts during your bachelorette party or during a girls’ outing following the wedding day.
Look for sweatshirts with an oversized fit for extra comfort, a blend of polyester and cotton for moisture management and wrinkle resistance, and phrases like “Bridesmaid” and your wedding date to cultivate a sense of identity and unity among your bride tribe.
4. Totes? Totally
Make it easier for your girls to get to their glam-up spot in time for the wedding with a bridesmaid tote gift. These are gifts your favorite ladies will be glad to use on the wedding day and afterward. They can easily store essentials like hairspray, bobby pins, safety pins, dancing flats, mints, a water bottle, and more. The best totes have roomy interior sections and sturdy handles to ensure they stand the test of time and the weight of your girls’ necessities.
5. Runway-Worthy Robe

Add a touch of sophistication to your ladies’ prep time and prep-time photos with picture-worthy robes. Lightweight satin robes are a classic choice thanks to their luxurious look and feel, as well as their convenience. They’re easy to slip off and on! Select a robe color that matches your wedding colors for a look that complements your wedding theme seamlessly. After the wedding day, your bridal party ladies are sure to enjoy using the robes on their spa days.
6. Baseball Caps for the “Babes”
Let your girls know how much you love them by surprising them with these classic caps. They’re practical yet fashionable, making them ideal for events before the wedding ceremony, a run around town after the wedding, and future travel on sunny or rainy days.
Matching caps can make your party look coordinated in photos, and since these caps are generally adjustable, sizing your friends for them is effortless. Add a personal touch with monograms that highlight the names, roles, and wedding dates of the ladies in your bridal party.
7. Sisters Slaying in Slippers
Make sure your bridal party is taken care of from head to toe with this popular bridal party gift. “Sisters Slippers” can help them feel at home as they prepare their makeup before the ceremony or enjoy spa time as a bridal party ahead of the day’s festivities.
Consider wearing slippers with sparkles for an extra touch of pizzazz in the photos, and ensure they’re breathable for added comfort. Either plush or faux fur slippers can add a luxurious look and feel to the big day, making them a perfect gift for bridal parties of all sizes.
Surprise Your Ladies With the Best Gifts
Your bridal party ladies deserve love on your wedding day. Fortunately, multiple getting-ready gifts are simple ways to show them you’re thinking about them as they focus on you on the big day. From cozy slippers to totes and personalized PJs, a wide variety of gift options are available to make getting ready for the wedding ceremony a photo-ready and unifying moment for your girls.
