Planning a bachelorette party is a lot of work, so the one thing you don’t want to have to think about is what are good bachelorette gifts for the bride, for bridesmaids, and for guests. That’s why I compiled this list to help you out by category.
best Bachelorette Party Gifts for the bride
1. Message from the groom
We are starting with a free gift – woo! Work with the groom in advance to get something from him to give the bride during the bachelorette party. Trust us, this gift always goes over well with the bride.
Sometimes the groom will sign a card and give it to the Maid of Honor along with a bottle of champagne to give to the bride. Of course, the groom doesn’t actually think to do this himself and it’s all coordinated by the bridal party. So work with the groom in advance to arrange it and maybe even give him ideas of what to say if he doesn’t know.
Are you reading this post last-minute? Ask the groom to record a quick video message telling the bride that he hopes she has fun and can’t wait to marry her. Have him send it to you and then play it for the bride the first night of the party!
2. A personalized robe
Buy the bride a gorgeous robe like this personalized one on Etsy as a gift. She can wear it again as she’s getting ready for the wedding. A robe is also less embarrassing than lingerie although if you think that is what she would be into, go for it.
3. Fanny Pack
This combo fanny pack for the bride comes with a matching bride tattoo as well. You can get black or white fanny packs for the entire crew as well.
4. lingerie
You have to really know the bride to know if this will go over well but it could be fun to buy her some classy lingerie. Make sure you know her size in advance because you don’t want to get her something that will totally embarrass her by being the wrong size.
Also, some people are just embarrassed by this gift in general so you really have to think about how lingerie will go over.
The lingerie with the groom’s last name on it pictured above is from Etsy and you can buy it here. Brides tend to like gifts like these if they plan to take the groom’s last name. It’s a classy way to give lingerie as a gift!
5. Gift basket
Consider buying a basket from the Dollar Store and putting all of the bride’s gifts in there including the bottle of champagne, lingerie, robe, a card, and her outfit and accessories for the weekend. That will go along way and look great with the welcome decor and in pictures.
Where to buy bachelorette party gifts for the bride
- If you’re buying the bride lingerie, try to get her something from a more mature brand and not tacky stuff that you would find in any department store sales rack.
- Try to get her something that she will use again and is not just a throwaway joke gift.
- Anything from Etsy is always good. It feels handmade and personalized.
- You can get her a bottle of champagne, wine, or rosé from a liquor store and just tie a fancy thick white bow around the top with a card.
Gifts for bride do not have to be fancy! She knows that you are spending a lot to host the party so something small and thoughtful will be perfect.
should you buy Bachelorette Party Gifts for bridesmaids?
Our opinion is that you should NOT buy special bachelorette party gifts for the bridesmaids. It is very common for a few girls to feel hurt that they weren’t chosen for the bridal party and they will probably be at the bachelorette. It can make them feel extra left out when the bridesmaids have special gifts that not everyone else gets.
The reason this matters is that the bride will have fun when all of her girls are having fun. You don’t want to set off any bad vibes at the party with special bridesmaid gifts.
That being said, we’ve seen special bridesmaid outfits for the bachelorette party and some bridal parties like to wear sashes along with the bride. If you plan to do that, we recommend these custom sashes on Etsy for the bridal party that let you pick the color.
Bachelorette Gift Ideas for Guests
You can buy bachelorette gifts for the guests and include them the favor bags. Typically it’s the bridal party who purchases these for the guests although the guests chip in for the matching outfits sometimes.
Hair Ties
Because you always need a hair tie and there never seems to be one around when you do. You can find them here on Etsy. These are a staple at most of the bachelorette parties I’ve attended.
Hand Sanitizer
No matter where you go, at least you’ll stay clean. You can find custom hand sanitizer here on Etsy. You can get the classy rose gold ones or the naughty ones depending on the vibe of the group.
gold tattoos
These tattoos from Amazon look great and are a fairly inexpensive gift for the attendees to wear that night.
Pedicure in a Jar
A spa weekend with the girls doesn’t mean you have to pay for all the bells and whistles. How fun would it be to spend the night in with a couple of bottles of champagne and of course, pedicures? Evermine shows you how to make this super simple gift.
instant pictures
Get a camera that prints out pictures instantly and let all of the girls take home pictures of themselves and the bride from the party. Everything is so digital nowadays, this style of picture is super refreshing and fun.
Glitter Bottles of Champagne
Even the bubbly should sparkle at a bachelorette party. This blog post shows you how to make sparkly champagne bottles that are a perfect way to get the evening started.
If you aren’t the DIY type of person, considering buying sparkly bottle labels like the ones pictured here on Etsy. In this case they will ship you the personalized labels and you buy the mini champagne bottles and assemble them yourself.
Beach Bachelorette Gift Ideas
Sunglasses
If a trip to the beach is in order, then sunglasses are perfect for your crew. They’re matching and cheap enough that you won’t feel bad if they get lost or break. You can find them here on Etsy.
Sun Hats
Speaking of the beach, matching sun hats are another great way to go. You can find some customizable ones here on Etsy.
Hangover Kit
Give your guests something that will help them out the morning after the big night. You can go to your local Dollar Store or Walmart and pick up everything you would need (individual Advil packs, mini-Gatorades, bandaids, eye masks – you name it!). You can then purchase personalized bags on Etsy like the ones pictured here.
Spiked Lollipops
Fun and classy doesn’t mean any drinking. Why not get the ladies together to make some spiked lollipops. They’re the perfect on the go treat. Sugar and Cloth shows you how to make them.
