The Best Gifts for Bridesmaids, Groomsmen and Engaged Couples

PeachBox’s Blush gift box

You get a gift! You get a gift! If you’re engaged or know someone who is engaged, it’s time to channel your inner Oprah, because engagement season is a season of gift-giving.

There are 3 groups of people who customarily receive gifts prior to the actual wedding. They are:

1.     The wedding party – often gifted from the couple

2.     The parents of the couple – also gifted from the couple

3.     The couple themselves – often gifted from the Maid of Honor, Best Man, parents, coworkers or friends

So, like we said, if you’re engaged yourself or you have a close friend who is engaged, it’s time to start thinking about what gifts to give them.

Luckily, we’ve made that decision SUPER easy for you.

We’ve teamed up with PeachBox – one of the best luxury wedding gift box suppliers available.

 We chatted with Alvania Lopez, the founder of PeachBox, to get her expert insight on giving gifts to bridesmaids, groomsmen, and of course, couples.

But first – PeachBox is a Latina-owned, woman-owned business making giving engagement gifts and wedding party gifts easy-peasy (or peachy, if we may).

PeachBox’s luxe gift boxes are as effortless for you as they are thoughtful for the recipients. Each box is environmentally friendly and easily repurposed. They come chock-full of expertly sourced, high-quality goodies for any occasion. Most of the product partners that PeachBox features are minority-owned or women-owned – so you can feel good about skipping the generic Amazon purchase.

Alvania says it best. She says, “We believe that changing the way people give gifts, by removing the work and the stress and allowing them to focus on the celebration, the emotions, and enjoying the moment makes us special. Our customers also love that our gift boxes can be repurposed and environment friendly. We also put a strong emphasis on the quality of our product offerings and the makers.”

Now, let’s chat about how to actually choose which gift box to give!  

Gifts for the wedding party.

Picking gifts for groomsmen, bridesmaids and other members of the wedding party is customary these days. Why?

As Alvania says, "Gifting to your wedding party is like giving back to them for dedicating their time to spend that special day with you.”

It takes a lot of time, money and effort to be a member of a wedding party, so giving gifts upfront ensures your wedding crew feel seen and appreciated.

So, which PeachBox makes the perfect bridesmaid gift?

Alvania recommends her top-seller: PeachBox Blush, saying, “We created this box with Brides in mind for when they pop the question to her besties being by her on that special day.”

If you’re big on your bride tribe, Alvania also offers a Team Bride gift box to send to all of yours bridesmaids.

And finally, you can even curate your own customizable bridesmaid gift box, which according to Alvania, “gives you the freedom to be creative and make each gift box according to that special someone's personality and interest.”

And of course, the gift boxes aren’t just for the ladies. PeachBox has tons of more masculine options for gift boxes, including some of our favorites: Truff Stuff and The Whiskey.

And, of course, if none of these feel quite right for your unique crew, PeachBox makes it so easy to build your own gift box.

 When choosing gifts for groomsmen, bridesmaids, mother-of-the-bride and all the other VIPs, be sure to choose items they’ll use and love (which PeachBox makes SO simple).

Gifts for engaged couples.

Engaged couples have a lot on their plate. You don’t know the stress of wedding planning until you’re right in the middle of it.

So, of course, PeachBox offers a ton of options to help with this. So many of PeachBox’s luxury items are focused on self-care and relaxation, which make it the ideal gift for newly engaged couples. Get them a box to share, or create one for each of them.

PeachBox offers a ton of ready-to-ship gift boxes so you can order one as soon as the happy couple make their engagement Facebook Official.

 When it comes to gift boxes for engaged couples, Alvania recommends Home Chef (which includes a gorgeous cookbook and lots of fun accessories), Date Night (another beautiful cookbook designed for couples, coasters, candles and more goodies), The Vows (designed to help couples write their wedding vows in luxury notebooks), and New Home (perfect for couples who need to cozy-up their new living quarters). 

Gifts for your fiancé.

You’re entering a new season of life, and you want to give your partner something extra special. PeachBox of course has you covered there, too. Alvania says, “Knowing that couples are so busy in the planning process, gifting each other on their wedding day or the days leading up to their wedding, it's such a wonderful tradition to keep implementing.”

Whether you’re giving your partner a gift box right after you’re engaged, on wedding day or sometime in-between, you can personalize your box just for them.

Giving a gift that’s more than a gift.  

When is a gift more than a gift? When it’s thoughtful and specific. It doesn’t hurt that PeachBox’s gift boxes help support minority-owned businesses and are shipped in biodegradable packaging.

Alvania says it best, “Gift boxes have the potential to make gift-giving magical. They are filled with a collection of themed items; the perfect gift box can deliver more joy than the sum of just one component.”
