I brought up bridesmaids gifts and outfits for the getting-ready photos to my mother and she was so confused by getting-ready outfits. The good news is that we live in the world of the internet, so I quickly took to Google to see what I could find.
Sure, robes are the go to, classic option, when it comes to getting ready attire for your bridesmaids. But there are so many other options out there now, like pajamas. And let’s be honest – you really can never have too many pairs of pajamas, right?
Getting your bridal party pajamas is getting them something practical, a gift that they will definitely use again.
Plus, by gifting your bridesmaids pajamas (or yes, a robe too) is a gift to yourself in a way. Why? Because they’ll be wearing them while getting ready on the wedding morning, which means all of your getting ready pics will have them looking uniformed, and beautiful!
With so many options out there, we’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up the fifteen best bridesmaids pajamas we were able to find. There’s something for every taste on this list!
Whichever one you end up choosing, don’t forget to buy yourself matching bridal pajamas too in white! And also make sure to tell your photographer you want group pics all together in your matching pajama sets.
