I need help figuring out what to get my bridal party, both guys and girls. What are you all doing? We're on a tight budget and we have 4 girls and 4 guys in the wedding. What is appropriate to spend? What are some unique ideas? We are getting married in April

I gave each of my girls a fun wine glass that represented their personality. I bought a few from www.lakeside.com (great website with inexpensive gifts) and some at the Christmas Tree Shop. My mom also made them a bracelet to wear for the wedding. I also gave each some personalized stationary. I had 6 girls, and I spent between 15-20 on each girl.

For the guys, DH got 3 them beer steins from Shipyard. He had four guys - he got his best man some obscure old school Nintendo game.

Even though I didn't do it, shop for each girl like it's her birthday. It doesn't have to all be the same thing. I only did that out of convenience, but I was really able to tap into their interests/personality with the wine glasses. If one of my girls didn't drink wine, I would have done something different for her.

You can definitely keep it simple! Shop for them like you would a holiday. Etsy is deifnitely a great option. Also, a sincere thank you card goes a long way. Someone had a great idea of baskets- movie night, Italian food night, spa night, etc.

I got my girls Vera Bradley purses because I happened to be on their website one day and they were $20 each. I snatched them up as quickly as I could!! I got my MOH a gift certificate to Macy's in addition as she loves their boots.

We got the guys lethermen's that were engraved with their names. The best man got a nice humidor because he loves cigars.

We also had Air Force guys do a Saber Arch for us, so we got them nice flasks.

We also got gift certificates for our parents and an IOU for a photo book, which we ended up giving them when we were home for Christmas.

We're doing shirts and possibly the camp mugs for the guys from this store: http://shop.livememaine.com/products

For the girls, I think I am going to do pendant necklaces from Lovell Designs, and my man of honor gets the compass cufflinks from there.
