Bridesmaid/WP gifts?

redfallon

Our wedding party is my sister, my niece (who's 11), FI's cousin is best man. Then I have one of my girl cousins as my photog plus one of my teenage boy cousins as usher and my FSIL's husband as usher. 

I want to get gifts for the girls, and maybe FSIL too, but not sure what to get. I've been going through the Knot Shop for ideas, but nothing sticks out to me. Probably will get some things for the guys, too, but focusing on the girls at the moment.

What are you giving as gifts for your WP?

I'm getting each of my girls a personal gift (haven't figured it out yet but I'm going to shop for each of them separately as if it was their birthday), and include a framed photo of us as well as a nice personal note telling them how much they mean to me and thanking them for being there on my wedding day.   I also got them each a makeup bag and I'm going to fill it with goodies.

As far as the guys, Nooooooo clue yet. The girls are much easier, lol.

FI is taking care of the guys, with the exception of our ring bearer. I got each BM a piece of jewelry off Amazon, and I got my MOH a nice accessory organizer dealie for traveling that I found on Etsy. I got my Flower girl a little jewelry box with her name engraved on it and a sports memorabilia/whatever box for my ring bearer with his name engraved on it from Exclusively weddings.

FI says he's getting the groomsmen engraved knives.  Since 2 of our GM are underage (one is his son and the other is our nephew), drinking paraphenalia wasn't really appropriate. 

I got earrings for one of my friends that's doing a reading in the ceremony, and for a friend who's acting as my DOC, and my FSIL who's doing some stuff I got an engraved picture frame that says sisters on it (she's an only child and so excited to finally have a sister!).

We're not spending tons on gifts for everyone because we're paying for dresses and tux rentals, so that was a pretty large expense for us already.

HTH!

I got each BM a nice beach towel in their favorite color, each with their first initial monogrammed. They all love the beach/pool and like monogrammed things, so I thought that was a nice gift. I also got them a few personal touches like a mug for the coffee nut, bookmark for the bookwork, etc. 

FI got each GM a gift card for Microsoft Live/Xbox points. It lets you buy expansion packs for games and stuff. They all play Xbox so he thought that would be something they'd enjoy.

<div>That's a great idea for FSIL that I hadn't thought of! She just had FI so no sisters growing up. </div>

I got my girls each a personalized tote bag, earrings, and a bracelet. I also made them each a picture frame, and got them personalized jewelry bags too (to put the earrings/bracelet in). I'm getting each of them a gift card to their favorite store as well (i.e. one bridesmaid is obsessed w/ her Nook so she's getting one to Barnes & Noble, and another is in love w/ The Container Store).
