By joining together with as the bridal party or as a team of co-workers you'll be able to gift a larger gift! We're sharing our favorite group gifts for bridal showers and wedding gifts from the group, plus a few tips for how to give a group gift.


    This wedding planning advice and Garter Girl Loves post goes out to the bridal party and wedding guests, or maybe even co-workers or extended family, whoever decides to band together to purchase a group gift for bridal showers, couples showers or wedding gifts.

    Group gifts for brides getting married or the wedding couple themselves are a trend gaining popularity. Sometimes, pooling your spending budgets together and presenting a larger gift or a larger gift box filled with lots of goodies can be extra special for the bride to be or the couple.

    Does The Wedding Party Give A Group Gift?

    It is customary for bridesmaids and groomsmen to give gifts to the bride or groom or wedding couple for a shower and/or the wedding. Joining together as a group to purchase and give a gift can be a great way to gift a larger gift.

    How Much Should We Spend On A Group Wedding Gift?

    Budgets are always up to you! What you feel comfortable spending or pitching in for the group gift is perfect. But, we will tell you that group gift contributions can vary depending on your relationship to the bride or couple.

    This is not a specific rule that must be followed, but a good budget idea can be $50-$75 per person for co-workers, $75-$100 per person for friends or relatives, and $100-$150 per person for bridal party, close friends and close family.

    Determine what everyone is comfortable contributing and then see what that adds up to!


    How To Tell Them It's A Group Gift

    Make sure you let the bride or couple know that this is a group gift. Some ideas for letting them know it's a group gift could be a card where everyone has signed their names, a large gift tag with the names of all of the contributors, or a special presentation of the gift together at a bridesmaids lunch or other event like the wedding shower.
