Hi There,
I have a question regarding a possible gift for my MOH and a bridesmaid (my sister and cousin respectfully). I know the consensus on getting jewelry is pretty much a no but I was wondering what the thoughts were on this idea?
My Grandmother passed away 2 years ago. About a month ago it was decided by my mom and uncles that I would inherit the necklace that she always wore, it was what my grandfather gave her on their first wedding anniversary. I'll be wearing this as my something old. However, I know that this necklace is something that holds special meaning to both my sister and my cousin.
What I would like to do is take the necklace to a jeweler and ask them to make 2 duplicates of the necklace to give to my sister and cousin. This obviously wouldn't be their only gift and they would NOT be required to wear it day of, but could if they wanted to, of course. They are also each getting a couple things that are more specific to their personality. I am not giving jewelry to my other 2 bridesmaids.
I know that the necklace would be something they would value, we talked about getting duplicates made about a year ago, but didn't know where the necklace was (my grandmothers death was really unexpected and nobody was ready to process so we packed up her possessions into boxes until the family was ready). I just don't know if this would be an appropriate time to give this gift. Do you think it is an okay gift to give as part of a BP gift or should I just skip it?
