Bridesmaids' Gifts

  As a "thank you," the bride often purchases a gift for each of her attendants. These gifts are usually the same for each attendant, such as a necklace or jewelry set. Often times, the bride chooses a gift that is long-lasting and sentimental, yet something that she will use or look at often, such as a strand of pearls or a special photo in a frame.
  
  

Thank You Notes

  While thank you notes are often included in a photo package offered by the professional photographer for the wedding, the bride traditionally purchases the thank you cards that are not included. She may also purchase stationary to write letters to the different vendors for her wedding, such as the catering hall.

  The bride is always supposed to pay for her own hair and makeup, if they are being styled professionally. Sometimes, the bride likes to pay for her mother and future mother-in-law to have their hair styled and nails done as well. The bridesmaids are usually left to pay for their own hair and makeup, if they decide to have it done professionally.
