Can pre-wedding beauty treatments be a bridesmaids gift?

I want to get a facial the day before my wedding, and I thought it might be fun to bring my bridesmaids along. Should I pay for their facials, and if so, can this count as their bridesmaids gift? I think I would enjoy this gift if it were given to me, but since the event they would be looking gorgeous for is my wedding, is it lame to call this a present for them? The groomsmen will probably get something tangible and fun such as flasks or movie passes.





The other option would be to invite them to come if they wish, at their own expense, and get them tangible presents. I can't afford to do both.Can pre-wedding beauty treatments be a bridesmaids gift?
Not really.


Get them lovely jewellery to wear for the wedding.


Anything you are requiring them to do regarding beauty, you pay for. Usually the bride pays for the hairdos, regardless, but if you are requiring professional makeup or manicure, you pay for those too.Can pre-wedding beauty treatments be a bridesmaids gift?
I wouldn't suggest getting a facial the day before your wedding. You never know how your skin will react, especially since you are under pressure. You may not feel stressed, but you want you day to go perfect, and what if this is the one snafu you hit. If you want to give them something to make them look pretty the day of the wedding, take them for manicure and/or pedicures. If you are not sure about that, give your girls a keepsake gift. A compact, jewelry box, frame, necklace.......you can always engrave these to make it seem more personal.
A facial is a great gift and you will all be together to enjoy each other! My daughter who is getting married in Aug is paying for each bridesmaid to get her hair styled on the morning of the wedding at her home. It will be a fun time for them to socialize before the event! go for it. I have many trinkets from weddings I was in and you can get too many of those ';things';. You are putting special thought into this gift. have fun and good luck in your wedded life.
I think it would be a fun gift, especally if they hve never had one before. I would like it if it were me. Or you could consider paying for their hair, nails and makeup as a bridesmaid gift? They may like this better because then they don't have to pay for it and they know they will look good. If its a gift, make sure they get choices on what they want to wear.
First I would schedule the facial a week before the wedding. Second I would ask the girls if they would prefer going with you and you treating them to a facial .Tell them it would be their gift from you but you understand if they prefer not to join you. In that case select a gift for them.
DO NOT GET A FACIAL THE DAY BEFORE YOUR WEDDING! You must give your face at least a week to adjust to what is done to it during a facial, unless you want to be a very blotchy bride. Other than that, spa treatments make a luscious gift!
I think spa services would be a fantastic gift. Since some people don't care for facials, you could offer a couple of (similarly priced) options - say a facial, mani-pedi, or mini-massage.
Sorry, but as it is before your wedding, and FOR your wedding, I wouldn't consider it a gift. Just part of the wedding costs.
I know a lot of women would like a facial but I'm not one of them. I would not only not appreciate the gift but I wouldn't even want to go. It's something to think about.
i have extremely sensitive skin so would not want a facial and would not go... i would get your girls a tangiable present and just ask them if they want to come with you but ensure they know they are to pay!
Uhhh, no. But you could give them a wrapped package with little slippers, lotions, etc. to accompany the spa package.
It would be a great gift, but if you've never had one, don't do it the day before.
I would love that as a bridesmaid gift if it were me. When I was a bridesmaid I got a lot of cosmetic type things from Avon, but haven't used them at all.


I'm sure your girls want to look good for your wedding, but I would suggest maybe giving them a gift certificate (so you can limit the amount you spend) so they can choose to do what they want, whether it's manicure, pedicure, massage, etc.


However, I've heard that you absolutely should not get a facial any earlier than 5 days before your wedding. I think you're on the right track with pre-wedding beauty, but it might be hard to organize, if some girls want a manicure or pedicure that is best done the day before the wedding. Also, you might want to plan to go out somewhere after, or have a movie night at home or something.





I don't think paying for their hair or make-up on wedding day could be their gift. Unless they've all stated that they would like to have it done but can't afford it. That is generally one of those things where if a bride wants it done to her 'maids, she should pay to have it done, and thus wouldn't count as a gift.
