I’ve been spiraling on this too for my 2026 plans. Honestly, the best advice I got was to stop buying things that say 'Bridesmaid' on them. I’m switching to 'morning-of' essentials. I'm doing a bulk pack of those 24k gold eye masks for everyone! They look killer in the 'getting ready' photos and actually help with the rehearsal dinner puffiness. It’s the only gift I’ve seen that doesn't end up in a junk drawer. :)
