So you've already bought the Diamond Engagement Ring and Wedding Bands.
The Tux is rented, the Dress is bought. The Banquet Hall, Food, Band, and Photographer are all ready to go... But are you?
Have you forgotten about the Gifts for the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, not to mention the Maid of Honor and the Best Man? Looks like you've got some shopping to do...

Don't worry, lots of couples forget that they need to buy presents and gifts for the Wedding Party. Some couples come into the Jewelry Store in a panic because they don't know what to buy and they don't even know what's appropriate.
Below is a list gathered from years of experience and what most couples end up buying. This list is the Top Ten Gifts for the Bridesmaids and the Top Ten Gifts for the Groomsmen. (The Maid of Honor and Best Man take a little different approach, but we'll get to them soon enough.) The items below can be found and ordered in most Jewelry Stores. Prices will vary, but I would attempt to stay under $100 for each member of the Wedding Party. (Note that the Maid of Honor and the Best Man will cost more!)
I also suggest that you get an early start and give yourself plenty of time, because chances are good that if you need 8 quantities of one item, the Jewelry Store will have to order them in. Plus if it needs to be engraved, that will take some time also. And as a rule of thumb, try to get the same types of gifts for all the Bridesmaids. Same with the Groomsmen. Color, Style, and Size may vary, but try to stay similar so no one screams "Unfair!" Now on to the Top Ten Lists! I'll give the top ten presents for both the Bride's side and the Groom's side and then I'll go more into detail of each item.
Here are the Top Ten Jewelry Gifts for the Bridesmaids:
- Freshwater Pearl Necklace
- Pearl Stud Earrings
- Pearl Pendant
- Freshwater Pearl Bracelet
- Gemstone Pendant
- Gemstone Earrings
- 14kt Gold Bracelet
- 14kt Gold Hoop Earrings
