Bridesmaid Tote Bags by Personalization
While it’s common for bridesmaid tote bags to be personalized with your girls’ names or initials, there is no one way to go about adding this feature. To help you pick your preferred look, we’ve narrowed it down to these seven styles:
Matte or Foil Script Tote
The most common way to customize bridesmaid totes is with a classic script font. This cotton canvas option can be ordered in five different bag and text color combinations, with up to 12 characters included.
Initial + First Name Bag
Add an extra feature to your bridal party tote bags with this initial and first name option. This cotton tote can be printed in 24 different color choices in two sizes for an all-around custom look.
Name + Title Tote Bag
If you like the look of the script font but want to add even more personalization to your bags, then this is the pick for you! Available in 20 bag colors and 35 vinyl colors, these totes can feature your bestie’s name and official title (plus a matching bow!)
Embroidered Monogram Tote
Instead of personalizing these totes with your bridesmaids’ full names, you can opt for using their monogram instead. We love this canvas embroidered option that comes in five colors and two sizes, with 9 monogram styles and over 60 thread colors to choose from!
Floral Monogram Tote Bag
Custom and elegant without costing an arm and a leg? Yes, please! Available in four colors, this canvas floral monogram bag is perfect for those looking to add a unique twist to their bridesmaid totes.
Letter Patches Tote Bag
The old-school letter patches are making quite a comeback and bridesmaid tote bags are no exception! These burlap bags can be personalized with either ivory or pink patches and horizontal or diagonal patch placement.
Leather Label Tote
If you want your bridal party totes to be personalized, but don’t want that to be the focal point of the gift, then this is the choice for you. Made of natural cotton canvas and available in six colors, these bags feature a small leather label that can fit full first names or just initials.
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.
