Groomsmen and Bridesmaid Gift Box Ideas

Asking someone to stand beside you on your wedding day deserves more than a text. A small gift box makes the ask memorable, and it doesn't have to be expensive. The best ones follow a simple formula.

The formula: keepsake, useful, personal

• A keepsake: something they'll keep on a shelf or dresser after the wedding.
• Something useful: an item they'll reach for at the bachelor or bachelorette party and long after.
• A personal touch: a handwritten note about why you picked them.

Groomsmen box ideas

Start with a bottle opener that fits his interests. Each one arrives in its own gift box, which makes a neat centerpiece for a larger box.

• The boat guy: ship's wheel or anchor opener, plus his favorite beer.
• The pilot or veteran: jet or antique airplane opener.
• The cyclist: bicycle opener with a pair of cycling socks.
• The tech guy: a walnut Apple Watch band organizer for the friend who owns too many bands.

Bridesmaid box ideas

• The crown: our crown opener is a fun fit for the bachelorette weekend.
• The keepsake: a marble jewelry tree gives her a place to hang the necklace she wears on the big day.
• For the maid of honor: pair the jewelry tree with a marble vanity tray for a gift that looks as special as her role.

Packing tips

• Use the same box and tissue for everyone, then vary what's inside.
• Put the note on top so it's the first thing they read.
• Order everything at once so the boxes are ready at the same time. Orders of $75 or more ship free.
