Maid of Honor Gift Ideas

Most brides follow the customary practice to present each of her attendants with a bridesmaid gift. Usually this gift will consist of a small token of appreciation such as bridal jewelry, a picture frame, jewelry box, or a tote bag. Because the maid of honor takes on more responsibilities than the bridesmaids, her gift may vary slightly from the others. Can a bride acknowledge her maid of honor's hard work without making her bridesmaids feel slighted? Let's explore some possible gift ideas that are suitable for a maid of honor but not so extravagant that it will outshine the bridesmaids.

It is apparent that a maid of honor plays a very important role in helping the bride plan her wedding day. Not only is she responsible for communicating wedding related topics to the other bridesmaids, but also she is also responsible for planning the bridal shower and/or bachelorette party. With this said, every maid of honor deserves something extra special in the way of a bridesmaid gift.

Bridal Jewelry

If a bride elects to buy bridal jewelry for her bridesmaids as a gift of appreciation and to wear on the wedding day, she might consider choosing a more detailed jewelry set for the maid of honor. For example, the bridesmaids may wear a single strand of pearls while the maid of honor wears a double strand.

Tote Bag

Personalized gifts are always fun. A monogrammed tote bag is a wonderful bridesmaid gift idea. There are a few ways that a bride can personalize a tote for her girlfriends. She might consider having the phrases "Bridesmaids" and "Maid of Honor" stamped on the bag. This option will distinguish the maid of honor from the other girls. She might also elect to have their names or initials embossed on the tote. Another alternative for the maid of honor is to place an extra token of appreciation inside of her tote bag.

Picture Frame

A special way to honor a bridesmaid is to give her a picture frame with an inserted photo of the bride and herself. A double picture frame would be a nice alternative for the maid of honor. The bride may include two photos or leave one side of the frame blank for the maid of honor to choose her own photo to insert.

There are several ways to acknowledge the maid of honor's hard work without overshadowing the bridesmaids. As long as a bride puts thought and time into choosing the appropriate bridesmaid gift for each of her girlfriends, they will be much obliged.
