Do I have to buy gifts for my Bridesmaids?

 I love my Bridesmaids!

No, you don't need to buy your bridesmaids gifts. However, it is a wonderful way to thank them for wearing your dress of choice, taking time out of their busy schedule to share in the planning process with you and probably even organized your bridal shower. A day at the spa, personalized (monogrammed) gifts, wedding related costs like hotel room or transportation costs are all great gift ideas to think about.
