Remember, it is still necessary to set parameters to ensure the wedding party is a cohesive team. This includes choosing a matching color and length of the gowns to maintain consistency.
Gifts for Your Bridesmaids

For instance, if one of your bridesmaids loves cats then give her a cat-related gift on top of the regular present. She will enjoy the well-thought, personalization of the gift, and how much she means to you.
Give Your Bridesmaids a Day Off

Therefore, her superhero status should not go unnoticed and you must make her feel special. One way to do so is having her wear a unique bridesmaid dress which could range from a floral pattern to a longer-style dress. You can also give her a personalized gift or treat her to a spa day.
Offer Snacks and Drinks
Between the makeup, getting ready, going through the ceremony, and having the reception, wedding days are long for all members of the wedding party. Therefore, to keep up the team’s energy level, and keep everyone looking great, provide healthy snacks while getting ready. The idea pre-wedding snacks are high in protein like finger sandwiches, meat and cheese platters, and deviled eggs. Make sure to include some fruit and vegetables along with plenty of water so everyone stays hydrated during the day.
Pamper Your Bridesmaids
Staying at home with a few face masks or giving them an all-out spa day is a win-win for all. Your maids will appreciate the relaxation time, they will get to know each other better, and the party will look and feel like goddesses on the wedding day.
Write Each a Personalized Note
If you have ever received a personalized note or letter, then you understand the impact it can have. By writing a thoughtful and personalized note to each bridesmaid with specific information relevant to them will go a long way in making them happy and excited for the big day. No matter how minute the task may seem, ensure you appreciate the little things you two share. These notes are a great compliment to personalized wedding gifts so get the tissues ready!
