Are bridal party robes worth it? Are robes a good bridesmaid gift? And if so, where can you buy bridal party robes cheap — without them looking cheap?
After all, you don’t want to waste money on robes for your bridesmaids that are bad quality.
Best Bridal Party Robes
If any of these questions resonate with you, then you’ve come to the right place. As someone who considers herself an expert in wedding party robes — rocking them, wearing them, buying them, and chatting with our brides about where to buy bridal party robes — I’ve come to find out exactly why some robes are better than others.
Here are a few tips to help you BEFORE you buy wedding party robes.
Are Robes a Good Bridesmaid Gift?
First, do bridal party robes make a good gift? Yes! A robe is the best option to wear while getting ready before the wedding day, for yourself as the bride and for your bridesmaids.
Why?
Unlike t-shirts, tank tops, or other clothing items that are removed over your head, a robe is tied at the waist and is easy to remove when it’s time to put on your gown or bridesmaid dress.
If you choose a robe, you won’t mess up your hair and makeup when changing into your attire.
If you don’t, when it is time to get dressed you’ll hurriedly lift it up and over your head, creating a frizzy hair mess and smudging foundation and mascara all over the place.
Yikes! Don’t let it happen to you!
That’s why they are such a popular gift item: in addition to the functionality of a robe (hey, who doesn’t love a luxury robe to wear at home?) it is also helpful on the day of the wedding. That’s a win-win for me.
Should You Buy Robes That Say Bridesmaid?
A word of advice: if you’re going to buy bridal party robes for bridesmaid gifts, err on the side of NOT choosing robes that say “bridesmaid”. Why?
Although it can be a fun photo op for the day of, your robes make a good gift if bridesmaids will want to wear them again.
Will they want to wear a robe to lounge around the home or as a bathing suit wrap if it has ‘bridesmaid’ emblazoned on it? Perhaps, but they’ll get more use if you do not choose robes that say “bridesmaid”. A neutral robe or one that simply has no title on it will be a better gift, IMO.
Where to Buy Bridal Party Robes Cheap
Ok, now that you know some answers to frequent questions about robes for your bridal party, let’s talk about where to buy some that are cheap — but not in quality, of course!

Do You Need Luxury Bridal Robes?
Many times, we’ve seen extremely expensive luxury robes and there’s a pressure to spend more because it’s a wedding. But here’s the thing: cheap robes for your bridal party attendants are just as good as a luxury brand, as long as the quality is there.
If you spend more on a robe, chances are, it won’t necessarily be enjoyed more or worn more than a cheaper priced robe. A robe is a robe! And if you find a good quality robe at an affordable price, especially when you’re going to buy bridal party robes in bulk, why not save a little money?
