Best Bachelorette Gift Ideas for Every Kind of Bride-to-Be

Brides / Alli Waataja

A bachelorette party is a once-in-a-lifetime joy. Get the girl a gift.

Wedding planners agree. “It is a nice gesture to give the bachelorette a gift that she'll look back on and think about all the fun she had celebrating this milestone in her life,” says Lia Bancroft, owner of luxury wedding planning firm Lia Bancroft Events in Boston, Massachusetts, who suggests either a gift that is “so her” that she'll wear or use constantly, or a gift that can be used for her wedding, like a champagne bucket, piece of jewelry, or photo album.

Michelle Norwood, owner of Michelle Norwood Events in New Orleans, LA, riffs on that sentiment, saying gifting is a must and showering the future bride with a little something special makes a lasting impression. “I recommend gifting a bride with a gift that she can use on her wedding day and for years to come,” suggests Norwood. As the NOLA wedding planner points out, it can be difficult figuring out what to get this wedding VIP. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide to the absolute best bachelorette gift ideas for brides. With presents this fun, thoughtful, practical, and special, you may very well want to pick up a few for yourself, too.

What to Look for in Bachelorette Gifts for Brides

Get her something she can use on her wedding weekend while keeping in mind her aesthetic preferences.

“Don't run to Google for a quick list of bachelorette gift ideas for the bride-to-be. Consider their personal style and taste,” says Norwood. If I were a bride I would love the gift of the Olivia Von Halle Casablanca Kiki Silk Crepe De Chine Faux Fur Pajama Set,” says Norwood, noting that since brides tend to get ready in “these decadent pajamas” it will be perfect for the wedding day, plus something she can wear again. You can also coordinate with other members of the bachelorette party to get various items in a set or from a specific collection, for instance, one person can pick up the pajamas, and another person can buy the lady of the hour the Olivia Von Halle Silk Crepe De Chine Eye Mask.

Or, give her a gift she can use at her bachelorette party.

Bancroft recommends the following as fun options if you decide not to get the bride a gift for her wedding day: “Tailor the gift to something she could use during her trip / party,” she says. “For example, a fun sun hat with her new last name, "Mrs" Jack Rogers sandals, or a custom handbag from Mark & Graham are some of my go-to summer bachelorette gifts. For a winter bachelorette, try a cozy sweater, mittens, or a  hat, says Bancroft.

When in doubt, go for a monogrammed gift.

Norwood says the David Yurman Initial Charm Necklace “is a cute gift with the letter of her soon-to-be last name.” Paravel’s Fold-Up Belt Bag embroidered with up to three initials is a practical option she can use on her bachelorette. And regardless of whether the bride is changing her last name, a monogrammed gift shows you went the extra mile to get her something just for her and will be wholeheartedly appreciated.

FAQ
  • Should I give cash?

    Norwood advises steering clear of giving cash as a bachelorette gift. “Put some effort into choosing a gift that reflects the bride's personality and interests, rather than taking the easy way out and giving cash,” says Norwood, noting that this gesture comes across as thoughtless and lacking in effort.

  • Are novelty gifts okay?

    We’re taking the words out of Norwood’s rule book for this one: “Skip gifts that will be embarrassing (you know what I mean), stick to gifts that are tasteful,” she says.  Or, as Bancroft puts it, don’t buy anything too tacky, like sashes, tee shirts in wacky fonts, or costume-like accessories and call it a day. “These might be fun to be silly with, but should not be the ‘gift,’” says Bancroft.

  • What about gifts she’ll wear on her wedding day?

    For some brides, knocking a piece of apparel or accessory off her wedding-day list like a bag or shoes will be a welcome relief. With all the decisions a bride has to make an easy gift is shoes. “The Loeffler Randall Camellia has been a very popular shoe choice for many brides,” says Norwood. Still, for brides that are more particular about fashion, you might want to ask if there’s anything they’ve been eyeing before their big day that you and other members of the bachelorette party can chip in on to purchase for her.
