Bridesmaid Gifts

I have robes for the bridesmaids to wear on the morning of the wedding as their gift along with their hair piece and a bracelet to wear. Do you think it's best to give them their presents the evening before (when we are all together for a couple of hours) so they know they have the robe to wear or just on the morning when we are getting ready at the venue? I cant decide what to do for the best!

I gave the night before x

I'd let them know they have robes the night before but give them everything on the day x

You could do robes the night before and the other bits on the day. 2 lots of gifts that ways 😁

I gave the night before as we were all together having cocktails in the hotel, It was nice for everyone to just relax and get ready in the morning without rushing as I felt it might distract from what needed doing 😊 I also felt doing it the night before was a way of making that part all about the bridal party xx

Robes night before and other gift on day when photographer arrives if you have one. Then you get a photo of their reaction

I was a bridesmaid this weekend just gone and the bride gave us our robes on the morning and our presents when the photographer arrived so he could take the photos of us opening them x

I'd do the night before! I did in the morning but we ran out of time so had to quickly do while getting ready but didnt get any photos with them, whereas if they had them before they could of had them on while getting ready you dont realise how quick the time goes xx

Night before. Too much going on in the morning and it's nice to have things ready for when you wake up

My bridesmaids rnt with me the night before apart from my daughter so mine will have them on the morning when they come to me

I did the night before so they could wear them in the morning, my sister could only host myself and my maid of honour but as my other sister and her daughter were also bridesmaids they got a pamper night together too and we all wore the robes in the morning so as not to smear the makeup or ruin hair. Best bit of advice I received:
Wear front opening items such as robe/zipup hoody/cardigans etc so you don't mess up your hair or make when changing into your dress

Give them robes night before and the other gift on the morning xx it will be least expected and their eeactions can be caught on photographs

I made boxes up for my bridesmaids, gave them it the night before. Then we all had our dressing gowns ready for the morning. The morning flew over, so it was good to have the time the night before
