Jewelry Boxes: A Cool Gift for Bridesmaids

Give Your Bridesmaid A Cool Gift

Giving your bridesmaid a cool gift that is unique to her is a great way to express your gratitude for her support leading up to the wedding and show how much she means to you.
Jewelry intended to be worn on the day of the wedding has become a traditional and expected bridesmaid gift. Because of this, you should still buy jewelry if you haven’t told your bridesmaids to choose their own accessories for your wedding. Go beyond earrings and a necklace by packaging the wedding jewelry in a nice jewelry box. That will make the gift more personal and transform it from a useful gift to a cool gift.

Choosing Jewelry Boxes For Your Bridesmaids

When it comes to choosing jewelry boxes for your bridesmaids, you have three options: get everyone the same box, get everyone different boxes, or get one style for the bridesmaids and a different style for the maid-of-honor.

If you opt to get everyone the same box, you might consider having each box personalized with the attendant’s name. Avoid having it engraved with your wedding date because it will mean more to her if it’s personal to her rather than you.

Getting different boxes for your attendants is a better choice than buying them identical boxes. Consider their personal styles, décor, and tastes when selecting their boxes. You could get a wooden box for the girl who likes classic styles and a leather box for the ultra-trendy girl. You should also take their jewelry preferences into account. Look for a box with several ring slots if you have a friend who wears a lot of rings. Go for a box with lots of earring compartments for the attendant who wears earrings, but never rings or bracelets.

Each jewelry box should be about the same size and price, although no one will mind if the maid-of-honor’s box is a little fancier. She did have more work to do planning your shower and bachelorette party.
