Gifts for when I ask my bridesmaids

[mj512]

I bought some cute little like cosmetic bags to give to my girls, jr. bridesmaid included, for when I ask them to be in my wedding. I am going to ask them in about 3 weeks. My question to you guys is what do you think I should put into the bags? candy? cosmetic things? lotions? Any ideas ladies?! Also I got my flower girl a little like cute box thing that umm kind of looks like chinese take out box but it is frosty clear with stars on it if that makes since, any ideas for her box?

How old are the girls?
Also are you giving them the gift before instead of after?

For the bms your age lotions, sprays, and jewelry are always good.
For my wedding I made my BM's a goody bag full of stuff. I have been in 4 diff. weddings and 1 of my friends gave me a Victoria Secret bag w/ a spray and lotion in it, my sis gave me Gloria Vanderbelt perfume set and a beautiful "Sister" plaque for being her maidtren of honor, and another of my friends also did a goody bag. Hers had stuff like a purse, incense, and each of us jewelry which was for the wedding and for us to keep afterwards.
If you decide to go w/ jewelry then you could get them all matching sets and or colors for your wedding.

Also, you could get them a manicure gift cert. and then if they wanted to do it for the wedding they could.

I liked your idea for the younger girls! :)

I think 1 nice gift would be enough, I don't nec. think everyone needs a goody bag either.

Go get some of those little lotions and soaps from Bath and Body Works. They had their big sale not to long ago, to bad you missed that. They had some great deals.

Also, another quick and simple idea for the bm's is a gift cert. to Chili's, AppleBees, or some kind of nice restaurant if you don't want to make up any bags or baskets.

Thanks guys, I think I will still visit bath and body works to see if they have any cheap bottles of lotion and such

The gift cert. is a good idea, but I have 5 bridesmaids and a jr. bridesmaid, AND I am a poor college student :) so They could get about $1 off of their meal ;)

That's exactly why I didn't do gft certificates, they can get expensive!
