Engagement parties and bridal showers are a great opportunity to get any bride-to-be a little congratulations gift, but sometimes it’s hard to wait for these opportune moments when the excitement of the proposal is alive. Once you get the “he finally popped the question” call, you might want to gift something small, especially if it’s for a woman who you’re close with. The budget here is minimal – look to spend anywhere from $25-$50. While the gift should be something that’s thoughtful, it doesn’t need to be extravagant or expensive.
We’ve put together a few gift guides for bride’s so if you don’t find what you’re looking for her check out some gift ideas for her something blue or one of these personalized wedding gifts.
