Hi, loves! Today we’re talking about usher gifts. Have you picked out what you’ll give as gifts for your ushers yet? If not, we’re here to help! But first… if you haven’t picked out ushers for your ceremony yet, now is a great time to cross it off of the checklist.

A wedding usher is a person elected by the bride and groom to escort guests to seats at the ceremony. (While there isn’t a specific age or gender for an usher — any gender, any age is suitable! — most wedding ushers are typically male aged 14 and up.) Ushers are responsible for making sure guests are seated in the proper areas, as well as making sure close family members are seated in the appropriate reserved seating areas.

It is helpful to have at least two ushers at your wedding (four if your guest list exceeds 150) to make the seating process go smoothly. Ushers can help guests find places to hang coats (in fall/winter), assist the bride and groom with checking last-minute decorations, and escort grandparents or parents down the aisle at the beginning of the ceremony if needed. Wedding ushers are also responsible for passing out ceremony programs to guests (if applicable).

Ushers are tasked with so many things; it’s no wonder you’ll want to show your appreciation with a gift of thanks on the wedding day. Many couples wonder what to give as usher gifts, and it’s not very different than groomsman gifts, to be honest. An usher gift is smaller than a groomsman gift, and you can expect to spend approximately $15 to $40 for individual usher gifts.

If wondering what usher gifts are in high-demand and appropriate for gift-giving, we’re here to help! We’ve rounded up twelve amazing gift ideas your ushers will love. We’re sharing eight handpicked usher gifts for ushers aged 16 and up, along with four additional picks for the 21 and over crowd. We think you’re going to love what we’ve found. On to the list!
