The Best Bridesmaid Gifts for Your Maid of Honor

Maybe she's your best friend. Maybe she's your sister. Whoever she is, one thing's for certain - your maid of honor is likely one of the most important women in your life, and that's why you've asked her to stand up with you on your big day. While you're choosing your bridesmaid gifts for the rest of your bridesmaids, you might want to consider getting your maid of honor an extra special gift for all the work she's doing to help you out with the wedding, and as a token of affection for all the years she's been so important to you.

With all the responsibilities that your maid of honor will have in helping you prepare for your wedding, she might get a bit overwhelmed. Reduce the risk of that with this High Polish Chrome Multi-tasker. It can't quite do the scheduling for her, but it'll keep all essentials in place, and it's a quick and handy way to calculate exactly how much she can reasonably spend on high heels to go with her dress and still be able to afford to eat. (Short answer: eat less. More shoes.) If your bridesmaids are similarly math-unfriendly, get these as bridesmaid gifts for them, too!

If you're getting coordinated bridesmaid gifts, feel free to include your maid of honor as a recipient of those gifts, just set her gift apart somehow. If your bridesmaids are getting Personalized Friendship Necklaces, for example, give them all one color and her another so she stands out. Or give her a little something extra to go along with the bridesmaid gifts - she'll love having the Personalized Friendship Earrings to match.

Want to give her something unique? After you've given out your bridesmaid gifts, take her aside and offer up a bottle of her favorite vintage in this Personalized Wine Box. Whether she favors pinot noir or a good Riesling, she'll appreciate getting something chosen specifically for her. Another elegant gift idea is this 3 Strand Pearl Necklace, which is especially perfect if your own bridal look involves pearls.

Once the honeymoon's over, why not send her a Thanks For Being My Maid of Honor card? While you're sending out all your thank you notes, take a moment to jot down a few of your special wedding memories that she helped create - if there was ever a time to get heartfelt, it's now. This sweet post-ceremony reminder of your appreciation for her help and friendship will go a long way to making sure that you keep the bond that led you to ask her to be your maid of honor in the first place. Then, when she marries, maybe you'll get that honor in return, and some sweet maid of honor and bridesmaid gifts to go along with it!
