They’ve thrown you a shower, planned the perfect bachelorette bash, and watched you try on dozens of gowns before finally saying “yes” to the dress. Now it’s time to show your bridesmaids some love with gifts of gratitude.As my wedding approached, I wanted to do something super special for my bridesmaids. After all, they graciously gave up weekends to attend one or more of my four showers, planned a killer bachelorette weekend in Mammoth, and listened to me talk about all things “wedding” for over a year. I owed it to them. So, inspired by Hoda and Kathie Lee’s “favorite things” segment, I compiled a bag of my most favorite things to share with them, and wrote each friend a very personal letter that they would open during our bridal party pampering on my wedding day.
