I sent a little questionnaire I made up to my bridesmaids to help me get some ideas for bridesmaid gifts. I'm glad I did because I learned little things about them I never knew before, like that after my MOHs seizure, she can no longer have caffeine or alcohol and that one of my bridesmaids doesn't have their ears pierced. I'm glad I asked because I was planning on putting a bottle of wine in each bag with personalized wine glasses and also providing their jewelry for the day of. I would have provided them with these things that they wouldn't have been able to use.
Here's a copy of the questions I asked and the reasoning I asked them in case you want to do the same for your bridesmaids.
What's your shoe size? (I plan on getting them flip-flops to change into during the reception.)
What size shirt do you wear? (I'm going to make personalized tank tops for them to wear while getting ready.)
What's your favorite candy? (I might provide candy in the room while we're getting ready.)
Do you like soda? If so, what kind? (I want to make sure they have soda they like at the reception and rehearsal dinner.)
Would you be interested in getting your hair/make-up done the day of the wedding? (This one is obvious. I want to figure out who would be interested in scheduling an appointment on the day of.)
What's your favorite song? (I wanted to play their favorite song at the reception. No one was able to provide me with an answer to this one though.)
What's your favorite color? (I'm thinking about getting them pashminas and I plan on getting them in their favorite colors.)
Wine of choice: Red, white, or blush? (I was originally planning on getting a bottle of wine for part of their gift.)
What's your favorite kind of sandwich? (I might provide them with lunch on the day of.)
What's your favorite breakfast food? (Or I might provide them with the breakfast the day of.)
Do you have pierced ears? (I plan on getting them their jewelry for the day of.)
Do you have any kind of jewelry or food allergies? (I plan on getting them jewelry and I also want to make sure there's something for them to eat at every event.)
