Throwing an amazing bachelorette party for your bride-to-be is a great way to show some love and pamper the future Mrs. But adding some fun bachelorette gifts for the bride-to-be to the mix is even better if you wish to take the party to a whole new level.

Bachelorette party gifts can come in many forms, from planning an unforgettable bachelorette weekend with the help of the trusty Batch app to showering the bride with various knick-knacks and trinkets.

So, no matter if you're the bride-to-be looking to treat your besties with some awesome bachelorette party favors, or you're a bridesmaid looking to wow your best friend before her big day, here are some of the best bachelorette gift ideas you should definitely check out.

Personalized Keepsakes

Personalized keepsakes make for cherished bachelorette party gifts for the bride because they have the power to capture unique memories and relationships in tangible form. Their custom nature ensures that they resonate deeply with the recipient, making them feel more special and valued. These keepsakes also serve as lasting mementos, allowing the bride-to-be to relive the joy of her pre-wedding celebrations for years to come.

Jewelry With Initial and Date

Simply put, jewelry is every girl's best friend. So, think customized necklaces, bracelets or pendants that feature the bride's—or bridesmaids'—initials or the wedding date. These simple yet timeless pieces carry a deep sentimental value that all of you can wear close to your heart. 

Our suggestion: Check out the Personalized Permanent Jewelry Party option to make creating jewelry a group experience that everyone is sure to remember for a long time.

Custom Robes

Custom robes don't just offer comfort and elegance but are also a very practical gift that will serve a purpose even after the bachelorette party is over. You will look super cute during the party in your matchy-matchy robes while sipping on mimosas. They’re also perfect for the bridal party's pre-wedding prep.

Our suggestion: Go for Luxury Custom Robes for your bride squad to make your bachelorette party truly stand out.

Personalized Tote Bags

Is there a better way to personalize a gift bag than to make the actual bag completely customized? There are so many options here, from decking the bags with a picture of the bride and her future spouse to embellishing it with their initials. You can use a custom design or theme created specifically for the bachelorette bash or add a cute picture of their pet. Such a practical gift will be perfect for carrying essentials during the party or even on the wedding day itself.

Our recommendation: Book the On-Site Bachelorette Tote Bag Paint Party so that you can truly get ready for all of your planned bachelorette party activities and let everyone know that you’re a part of the most epic bride squad in the world. 

Sentimental Bachelorette Gifts for Everlasting Memories

Sentimental gifts for the bride at a bachelorette party serve as time capsules, capturing all the laughter, love and shared memories. They're the ultimate "Remember when..." conversation starters, ensuring that every moment, from the silly to the sublime, gets an encore. Whether it's pages of memories or heartfelt messages, they're a heartwarming VIP ticket to the past! 

Memory Scrapbook

Create a journey through time by compiling photos, heartfelt letters, and cherished mementos from your past. You can also schedule a photo booth session and eternalize your bachelorette party with your favorite bride surrounded by all the guests. This type of gift is a keepsake that will be treasured forever.

Our suggestion: Book the Captured Moments Photoshoot Package to add some new memories to the already-existing ones.

Video Messages

Even those who can't attend can join the celebration. Collaborate to create a heartwarming video filled with well-wishes and love. This gesture does wonders and allows you to become a part of the bride's big day even if you can't attend it in person.

Our suggestion: Create some party videos for your crew to capture every moment of your bachelorette trip with hype girls for hire, whose main job will be to ensure that your socials are covered and that you no longer have to have an attendee dedicated solely to creating content for your social media.

Cozy Bachelorette Gifts for Relaxation and Pampering

Who doesn't like to be pampered? The answer is no one. So, consider filling your bachelorette party bag of goodies with all of the essentials necessary for a good and relaxing pampering session. Think spa sets, bath bombs, scented candles, wines and bubblies, and the mandatory personalized glasses. Think of these gifts as the bride's ticket to the relaxation station! 

Spa Sets

Help the bride relax and unwind before her big day with a spa set filled with bath bombs, essential oils, luxurious lotions and soothing face masks. A gift like this is sure to kick the pre-wedding jitters to the curb.

Our top pick: Book the Customizable In-Home Spa Massages so that all of you can take a moment for yourself and relax with a custom in-home massage at your desired location.

Scented Candles

Help the bride-to-be and her future spouse set the mood with scented candles that create a calming ambiance, perfect for relaxing before the big day. Think jasmine, lavender, tea tree or eucalyptus to help them feel more at ease and grounded.

Our recommendation: Instead of simply gifting a pre-made scented candle, take the bride-to-be to the Energy Candle Workshop and have her learn the basics of making hand-poured soy candles infused with healing energy crystals and natural fragrances.

Subscription Box

If you don't feel creative enough to put together something on your own, or you know that the future bride likes some particular products, you can always choose to treat her to a monthly beauty or wellness subscription box. These come in many different shapes and sizes, so make sure you choose the best one that your bestie will enjoy even after the wedding is over.

Our recommendation: Book the Online Thai Cooking Class with Optional Ingredient Kits and have the necessary ingredients delivered to the future bride, so that she can enjoy an interactive online cooking class right from the comfort of her own home.

Practical and Essential Gifts for the Honeymoon

Since many couples head off to their honeymoon right after the ceremony, you can also think a few steps ahead when choosing bride gifts for the bachelorette party. So, instead of gifting her something she can enjoy before her big day, choose something she can use afterward.

Travel Accessories

Enhance the honeymoon experience with personalized travel bags so that the future bride can travel in style. Add customized luggage tags and passport covers, as well as a bag with travel-sized cosmetics. It's all about adding a personal touch to their adventures.

Our recommendation: You can treat the newlyweds to a Store & Explore Luggage Storage service so that they can set off to explore their destination, even if their hotel/Airbnb rooms are not ready yet. 

Gift Cards and Vouchers

Help the newlyweds make the most of their honeymoon by giving them gift cards for popular travel or booking sites. Alternatively, see if you can get your hands on vouchers, gift cards, and coupon codes they can use once they arrive at their destination.

Our recommendation: Check out local live shows and see if you can find some good deals and discounted tickets.

Honeymoon Survival Kit

Create a thoughtful kit filled with sunscreen, beachwear, travel guidebooks, and destination-specific goodies. It's the ultimate travel companion.

Experiences—Gifts That Keep On Giving

An experiential gift for bachelorette parties is the confetti on the pre-wedding party cake! They're not just presents; they're memory-making machines. Instead of gifting just another item, you'll be wrapping up laughter, new skills, and unforgettable moments in a bow. Bachelorette party gifts like these can also double as great bachelorette weekend activities, perfect for any bridal party.

Classes

Cooking, dance, wine-tasting sessions, and cake-making classes are great bachelorette party gifts where you and your girls will potentially acquire a new skill and have loads of fun doing so. It's a chance to bond and create lasting memories and skills.

Our recommendation: Book a mixology class and embark on a culinary and mixology adventure where you’ll get to learn how to prepare lots of great food and drinks in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. 

Concert or Show Tickets

Concert tickets are another very popular bachelorette gift option. Whether you only purchase two tickets for the newlyweds or take your entire bachelorette party out, you will definitely put a big smile on the bride's face.

Our recommendation: If you really love the bride, surprise her with tickets to the unforgettable Hunk-O-Mania. Trust us, you simply can’t go wrong with this one.

Fun and Playful Gifts for the Not-So-Serious

Simply put, bachelorette party favors and wedding gifts don't need to be serious, regardless of the cost of the bachelorette party. Yes, you do want to give the future bride something nice, but there's really no reason to overthink it.

So, why just give a gift when you can sprinkle joy, spark memories, and serve up sass? It's all about turning the bride's journey to the aisle into one big joyful dance party! Here are some ideas: 

  • Bachelorette party games: Spice up the party with fun games that'll have everyone laughing and bonding. Some of our all-time favorites include Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever and Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt.
  • Customized wine/champagne glasses: Elegant glassware for toasts on the wedding day and beyond because every celebration deserves a clink (and just booze, really).
  • Bride merchandise: Make the bride feel like the star she is with fun tees, hats or sashes proclaiming her "bride" status. It's all about celebrating her in style.

DIY Gift Ideas to Infuse Your Heart With Creativity

Buying premade bachelorette gifts is all well and fine. But if you're rather crafty, you can also choose to treat the participants with something unique, creative and hand-made with love.

  • Handmade jewelry: Custom earrings, a dainty necklace, a bridal sun hat, or a hand-crafted veil are all gorgeous and heartfelt gift ideas that the bride will surely cherish.
  • Recipe book: Compile personal recipes from all the bridesmaids or close friends, creating a cookbook filled with love and nostalgia.
  • DIY beauty kits: Whip up homemade lip balms, scrubs, face masks or even scented candles to help the bride relax and rejuvenate whenever she feels like she needs a good pick-me-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you bring a gift for the bride at a bachelorette party?

Since there are no strict rules when it comes to bachelorette gifts, the best course of action would be to ask the host of the party whether you should bring a gift or not. If, for whatever reason, you're unable to do so, keep in mind that everyone loves receiving gifts.

How much do you spend on a bachelorette gift?

How much you end up spending on a bachelorette party gift will depend on your budget. If you can afford to splurge, spend as much as you wish, but if you can't, a simple, thoughtful DIY gift will be more than enough.

Does the bride pay for gifts for the bachelorette party?

If she chooses to do so, the bride may purchase gifts or party favors for all of her maids, but she is not obliged. It all depends on the organization and the budget the bride-to-be has at her disposal.

Do you buy the bride a gift?

You can buy the bride a gift if it's something everyone else will be doing as well. If other bachelorette party guests are not bringing any gifts, you won't be obligated to do so, but you still can if you wish.
