Monogrammed tote bags are a perfect gift for bridesmaids. Brides can pick a bridesmaid’s favorite color and then have a bag personally monogrammed for her.

I find personalized bags to be particularly helpful on the wedding day so the bridesmaids can put all of their personal belongings in their bag and not mix up items in the frenzy of pre-ceremony preparations.

These totes from Ballard Designs are not only stylish, but they are reasonably priced, too.

The totes aren’t only perfect for weddings, though. They would make a great gift for a girlfriend, sister, mom…. You can even get creative with the monogramming: “Beach” for a friend with a beach house; “Yoga” for your sister who is mastering downward dog; and so on!
