Brides maids gifts

[blueeyedbride]

What is everyone getting their bridesmaids as gifts? Just wondering here maybe looking for a few suggestions I have already bought thm thier Jewerly Necklace, earing and braclet, Tote bags with their names on it, Candles about being a brides mais and some little lotions and stuff for their totes. My mom says I need to get something else.

I got my girls each a necklace. They were all designed in white gold with their birthstones. I have never been in a wedding where I got more that a piece of cheap jewelry or a trinket box. I think you have done more than enough as is.

[blueeyedbride]

Thanks, my thoughts to but Momzilla thought other wise....

[ladymelissa]

Wow! You have already gotten them a lot. I gave my BMs their jewlery set, a box and their matching gloves.

I think yours are getting plenty. I didnt realy have the money for much. Mine got one of our center pieces and their glasses that were made for them. And I gave them all a thank you card the day of. They know I love them all and was happy to have them there. And if I could have gotten them more I would have.

I got mine a little jewelry box with a bridesmaid pin inside.

[AngelinLove]

I think that you are definitely doing plenty!!! I am getting my BM's all tote bags that remind me of them...they will all be different...and I am filling with them with different things that they will need for the day and some littles extras...including lotion, tissue, gum, bottled water, body spray, a journal, a picture frame, some slippers/or flip-flops, a shot of liqueur, a shot glass, and some other little things!!!!

I gave my girls monogrammed tote bags and fleece throws from L.L. Bean, with a pair of flip flops to wear to the reception and goodies from Bath and Body Works inside.

Wow, sounds like you have gotten them some really great gifts already. I don't know that you really need to get them something eles. But if you do, maybe get them a nice picture frame so they can frame a photo of the two of you after the wedding.
I just got my bridesmaids a necklase, earings, and braclet that all matched. And I made them bags for them to put all their things in for the wedding. they matched the fabric of their skirts.

Now that I think about it, I did have a couple bridesmaids that are lucky that they didn't just end up with a kick to the teeth and no necklace. As for the two who didn't bother to show up at the rehearsal dinner, I still have their gifts.

I have one bridesmaid that I shouldn't buy anything for. She just doesn't care about standing up and has done NOTHING; the other 4 girls are really helpful and are doing everything. :realmad: So I know what you mean! ;)

I bought my girls an earring and necklace set for the wedding and an antique silver jewelry box with their first initial engraved on it. Blueeyedbride, you got them plenty!

First let me say to Amy that I think what you got your girls was enough, and I wouldn't think they would expect anything more.

We treated our girls to getting their hair and makeup done on the wedding day, and paid for their jewelry and shoes.

I'm planning on making boxes with a mosaic top for them. My ideas for other stuff are a Yankee candle in their favorite scent, some lotion, bath stuff, a perfume atomizer (if I can find them cheap enough), a picture frame. Also, I've thought about local items (shot glass, bbq sauce, etc), since they aren't from this part of the country. I'm also doing tote bags with their inital embroidered on it.

It sounds like a ton of stuff, but I'm actually making 90% of it myself. I'm guessing the most expensive thing will be the candles.

All my girls are getting monogrammed totes stuffed with Bath and Body goodies, the flower girl is getting the same tote but in a "mini" size with a little outfit from the Disney Store, the groomsmen and other men in the wedding party are getting engraved knives and the ringbearers are getting engraved yo-yo's.

IMO you have more than enough!

I was going to give the BM bracelets, but I think I am going to find little trincket boxes maybe from things remembered, and find matching necklaces for the wedding. THey can wear thier own earrings but I want to find them necklaces.

[SoontobeMrsClark07]

I'm going to be doing a tote with their first names embroidered on it. I'm going to fill the bag with things that are both personal and fun. Everyone will get some of the same stuff and some will not. They are all my best friends and sister (and FSIL) so I want to splurge on them. Most of them have helped me a ton already.

We bought ours a necklace with a heart shaped locket and then had them engraved. Come to think of it, I still have one of the BMs because she turned into a total biotch after the wedding but had given me the necklace to have the chain replaced because it had broke. So now I have a locket with "K" on it and no one to give it to! lol. I'm thinking of keeping it since our first daughter we have will be named Kaitlynn.

Well, I guess that worked out for you, huh??

Not really but kind of. By the time I have children and they are old enough for a locket it'll probably be 15 years and by that time, I'll have lost it! lol. wait I think a year later I already have!!

Oops. well, it's the thought that counts, I guess??

I'm planning on making boxes with a mosaic top for them.
As I bridesmaid I received a box that the bride made to hold our jewelry. It's not mosaic, but the same idea. I loved it and still have it. Another bride for a different wedding gave us each a different figurine based on our tastes and book about girlfriends with a note inside. I was very touched by that as well.

Personally, I feel like any gift is fine as long as the bride takes the time to get across how grateful she feels that her friends are willing to stand up with her on the big day.

I'm only have two bridesmaids and I'm paying for their dresses, hair, makeup, and accomodations for the maid of honor. That's mostly because the wedding is in England and I'm just really pleasantly surprised that anyone can make it at all! I feel like it wouldn't be fair to make them for all of that on top of airfare from the west coast. I'm also planning to give them each a pendant that they can choose to wear that day...but now you've got me thinking about giving them some sort of personalized box too.

I think you have put together a really nice little bundle of gifts for your girls! I wouldn't think you NEED to add anything, the only thing I could think of is maybe a jewelry bag or jewelry box. We put our girls jewelry in a jewelry box and then put everything else in a jewelry bag
