Your bridal party is there to love you and support you on your wedding day. If you’re looking for a way to thank them, give a token of your appreciation for standing beside you on your wedding day. One of the most practical and thematic gifts for a bridal party is accessories — your groomsmen and bridesmaids can wear these items on the day you get married, and then they’ll think of you every time they wear them after the big day. In this article, we’ll take a look at six creative groomsman and bridesmaid jewelry gift ideas to inspire you.
#1: Cufflinks
Cufflinks are a great gift for your bridal party. Your pals might not already have a good pair of their own, and cufflinks are a staple for anyone who loves to wear a suit or formal cuffed shirt. They’re an opportunity to spice up a classic look with just the right amount of personality, and they instantly elevate any outfit for a special occasion. Go above and beyond to get each pair engraved with your groomsmen’s initials, or go for extra sparkle with diamond encrusted cufflinks.
#2: Tie Clips or Tie Bars
If your bridal party is wearing ties with their suits, a tie clip or tie bar is another great accessory for them to wear on the day of the wedding. Weddings can be very active, and groomsmen are likely to be helping the photographer, wrangling nieces and nephews, and starting the party on the dancefloor, so an accessory that can help keep their outfit together is a very practical gift. Since tie clips have a fairly large surface area, you can get creative with an elaborate engraved design, an enamel coating, a monogram, or even get them shaped in a unique way — a mustache for your friend with facial hair or a sea bass for your angler pal, for example.
#3: Money Clips
In the same vein, a money clip is a versatile accessory that your bridal party can use all the time. This is a perfect gift if your wedding is more casual and your bridal party won’t be wearing ties, or if your reception has a cash bar and your loved ones will likely be carrying around a few extra bucks. A money clip is way less bulky than a wallet, and you can customize each one for the members of your bridal party — make them sparkle with a few gemstones, engrave them with each person’s name, or include a small date or logo to commemorate your wedding day.
#4: Initial Pendant Necklaces
If you want to give your bridal party matching necklaces, an initial pendant is a great way to personalize each one. Have each pendant engraved with the person’s first initial to create a cohesive theme that will look great in your wedding photos while still infusing each gift with a personal touch. You can find custom initial pendants in all kinds of styles depending on your wedding’s aesthetic — try tiny, minimalist letters engraved onto a charm, or look for elongated, diamond-studded letters that dangle from a chain.
#5: Birthstone Stud Earrings
Stud earrings are a simple, elegant staple of any jewelry collection. Not only does a tiny gemstone stud give just the right sparkle, but it also works with most hairstyles so your bridal party can wear their hair however they want while still showing off their birthstones on your wedding day. Find the birthstone of every bridesmaid in your bridal party using the list below:
- January: Garnet
- February: Amethyst
- March: Aquamarine
- April: Diamond
- May: Emerald
- June: Pearl
- July: Ruby
- August: Peridot
- September: Sapphire
- October: Opal
- November: Topaz
- December: Turquoise
#6: Permanent Bracelets
To give your crew an experience and a gift they’ll love, take your bridal party to get zapped with permanent bracelets. Despite the name, these bracelets don’t have to stay on your wrists forever — they’re soldered on without a clasp, but you can snip them off with a pair of regular scissors whenever you’re done wearing them. Getting these bracelets put on together can be a fun way to bond with your bridal party before they witness you walking down the aisle (fun bachelorette party activity, anyone?) and everyone can choose the style they want — silver, gold, elaborate charms, simple paperclip chain, the possibilities are endless.
Your bridal party has always been there for you, so it makes sense they’re supporting you on such an important day. Ready to express your gratitude with special groomsman and bridesmaid jewelry?
