Frequently Asked Questions
Who buys the bridesmaid tote bags?
As we mentioned a few times throughout this article, the bridesmaid totes should be purchased by the bride as a, or part of a, bridal party gift. Because these bags are not a mandatory part of the wedding day, they should never be bought by the bridesmaids themselves.
What do you put in a bridesmaid tote bag?
Oftentimes, the bride will use these bags to put her other bridal party gifts into to create one larger gift. Other times, the bride will leave them empty so her bridesmaids can use them to carry their wedding day necessities- shoes, makeup, cosmetics, change of clothes, etc.
What can you get instead of tote bags for your bridesmaids?
If a tote bag is not big enough, you could go with a larger duffle or weekender-style bag. If you’re looking for something on the smaller side, consider giving your girls a makeup or cosmetic bag instead.
