If you have been a bridesmaid before, then you know the amount of work that goes into it. From organizing the bridal shower and planning the bachelorette party, to making sure that the bride is taken care of and catered to on the special day, being a member of the bridal party is so much more than getting to wear a pretty dress. Many brides show their appreciation by giving a small gift as a token of appreciation for all their bridesmaids have done throughout the engagement.
