Unique Ideas For Your Wedding Party Gifts (That are all $50 or less!)

Your wedding party are truly a special group of people. They’ve stood by your side through thick and thin and now you’ve asked them to stand by you as you say your vows. To help thank them, here are a few wedding party gift ideas for these incredible men and women in your life!

For Your Bridesmaids

Fair trade jewelry to fit all your bridesmaids personalities. We love 31bits and the company Able. They have some of the prettiest jewelry and so many other items that any bridesmaid will love.

Reusable Tote Bags: I love things that are fair trade and sustainable. Everyone needs a reusable tote and what better way than to have a cute saying for each of your bridesmaids. You could even fill them with lots of goodies or items they might need on the wedding day in an emergency. Think lip gloss, safety pins, Advil, etc.

Coffee Mug: Every girl needs a reusable coffee mug and better yet you can engrave their name right on the mug. Such a cool gift that your girls can use everyday.

Spa Day: Your bridesmaids have helped you so much leading up to this day, why not treat them to a little spa day all together. Take all your girls to get manicures/pedicures for some much needed pampering before the big day.

For Your Groomsmen

Personalized Poker Set: Calling all gamers, these sleek game sets are for you. I love that these pieces are sleek enough for groomsmen to showcase post wedding and are a great conversation piece. Pro tip: to help calm the pre-wedding jitters and keep your mind busy, challenge your guys to a round or two of poker before the festivities. If games aren’t your deal, check out this groom who gifted all his groomsmen personalized axes…yes, for real!

Cufflinks and socks: The best part about gifting your groomsmen cufflinks and socks is that you can customize them however you’d like. You can give everyone their favorite superhero, or you can choose to add a pop of color. Either way, these little items are a bonding moment with you and your guys.

For Your Co-Ed Wedding Party

Couples can also choose to have both men and women as part of their respective wedding parties. I love this twist on the tradition! With that in mind, below are a few neutral wedding party gift ideas for anyone you want to thank:

Swell Water Bottles: With tons of color and pattern choices, these water bottles are great gift for everyone. Not to mention, they’re eco-friendly. Double win!

Personalized travel tech case: We are living in an age where technology is king. These personalized cases help keep cords and tech in one neat place making it easy to access and travel with. Perfect for destination weddings.

City Map Engraved Rocks Glasses: Give your wedding party a gift they can use more than once! These glasses are engraved with incredible map details of your city of choice. Choose the city you’re getting married in or the cities where your wedding party live for a personalized touch. Cheers!

I hope this list of wedding party gift ideas helps you shower your special friends and family with special treats!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
