Gift Timing
Consider when to give bridal party gifts for maximum impact.
Rehearsal dinner: Traditional timing. Present gifts during dinner or after, with personal thanks.
Wedding day: Some couples give gifts during getting-ready time, especially items worn that day.
Proposal boxes: Some gifts given when asking. Just ensure you also thank them at the wedding.

Budget Considerations
Gift budgets typically range $50-$150 per person, but meaningful gifts exist at every price point.
Budget-friendly: $25-$50. Handwritten notes with small meaningful items. Quality over quantity.
Mid-range: $50-$100. Personalized items, experience gifts, or quality accessories.
Generous: $100-$200+. Higher-end items or covering expenses like dress/suit costs.
Don't go into debt. Heartfelt thanks matter more than expensive gifts.
