6 Cool Gift Ideas Your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen Will Never Forget

The coolest gifts that your bridesmaids and groomsmen could receive include items for their hobbies and collections, tickets or coupons, breakfast with the whole group, personalized apparel, pledge coupons, and accessories they can use on your wedding day.

Bridesmaid gifts and groomsmen gifts are things you would not want to be of lesser importance during your preparations.  The support they give you on your wedding, as well as their friendship, is something you want to truly thank them for.  To show your gratitude perfectly to your bridesmaids and groomsmen, here are the coolest gift ideas you can consider:

Get them something for their hobbies and collections

Do a little research and remember what things your bridesmaids and your groomsmen might be interested in.  Think of the different hobbies or collections they have in order to come up with the coolest gift.  For example, if your bridesmaids love cooking, you can give them recipe books.  If they love to party often, you can give them trendy clothes or accessories.  Your groomsmen may also be delighted to receive logo-themed shirts or decors of their favorite sports team if they love collecting sports memorabilia.  You can also consider giving them CDs and DVDs if they love listening to music and enjoy watching movies during their spare time.

Entertain them with tickets or coupons

Entertainment tickets and coupons also make great gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen.  Whatever you think would be more entertaining to them is something you can decide on.  You can give your girls theatrical tickets and your guys game tickets or you can give everyone movie or concert tickets.  Alternately, you can think of giving your bridesmaids discount coupons or gift certificates to their favorite spa or parlor or their favorite clothes shop and shoe store.  Your groomsmen may also find it very cool to receive dinner coupons for them and their dates to their favorite restaurant or coffee shop.

Breakfast with the whole group

Instead of dinner coupons, you can treat your bridesmaids and groomsmen for breakfast on your wedding day.  The bride can dine separately with the girls and the groom with the groomsmen or you can all have your breakfast together as one big group.  This will surely be a very fun and memorable time to bond with your closest friends and relatives before you tie the knot.

Personalized apparel

One interesting gift idea for your bridesmaids and groomsmen are personalized apparel, like shirts and caps.  You can give them cool uniform-printed shirts such as “hot bridesmaid” and “funky groomsman” or you can personalize the print for each bridesmaid and groomsman.  You can also choose to give them different colored shirts, depending on what their favorite color might be.  There are no limits to personalizing their apparel.  As long as you know they will love it, go for it.

Pledge coupons

A pledge coupon makes a really inexpensive yet very cool gift to your groomsmen according to Melissa Mayntz.  I believe this also holds true to your bridesmaids.  Imagine the surprise to their faces when they receive a promissory note from you to do their laundry for one whole week or a pledge to wash their cars for a few days.  This will surely be the most memorable gift they will ever receive.

Accessories they can use on your wedding day

Another practical yet equally great gift idea you can give your bridesmaids and groomsmen are stuff they can use on your wedding day.  You can give your groomsmen personalized cuff links, neck ties, or even tuxedos if it fits your budget.  Your bridesmaids will also love getting accessories or jewelry sets they can wear on your wedding ceremony.

Whatever you decide to give, remember that the coolest gifts are always those that come from the heart.  Whether wedding-related gifts or not, it would not matter so much for them.  What is most important is that you are able to show your appreciation to your bridesmaids and groomsmen in the most interesting way you can and with much thoughtfulness.
