Wedding Party Gifts

If you are doing them, what are you doing?

I had tote bags made with the BMs names on them, and so far have flip flops (that match their dresses so they can wear them at the reception if they want) and some lotion, and I will be getting some jewelry. I also picked up those hand sanitizer holders from Bath and Body Works (they were the perfect colors and on clearance for 50 cents!) that I will put some hand sanitizer in and attach to the bags. What else do you think I should put in there?

For the FGs (6 and 10), I have no clue. I got a couple of things for the 6 yr old to do while getting ready if she's bored (or even for her flight home after our wedding), but I have no clue what to get the 10 yr old. I got them both tote bags as well, and the hand sanitizer holders too. And our RB is only going to be about 19 months when we get married, so I'm at a total loss for him!!! Maybe just a nice toy he could play with the morning of? His mom is a BM, so she will be there but kind of busy as well...I assume his dad will have him until we get ready for pictures.

And FI hasn't made a decion of GM gifts, but I'm leaving that one up to him!!

Well we're having just a best man and

maybe a bridesmaid,not even maid of honor.

Things are a bit of classical for options here..

Jewellery,watch,camera or something just 

good to be a present.We will just ask him what

he would like to have as a present.For my flower

girl,I'll gift her the dress,which I'll make and the top

will be easy to wear for her later..for her ''mate'' as

long as we don't gave ring bearer here,I think we

will gift the little suit.Oh for the girl there will be a kissing

ball too!I was thinking though for a flower bracelet for my

mother and my mother in law.

For my BM's I orderd tote bags and robes. They are personalized. Then inside the bags will be a "bridesmaids survival kit". Basically travel size stuff that might be usefull like painkillers, tums, toothbrush/toothpatse, hand sanitizer, sewing kit, etc. Then I'm planning on doing flip-flops, earings which they can use for the weding if they want to, and probably a gift card to something they use a lot.

For FG/RB, I'm giving each two gifts. They are 3 years old. So I'm doing a toy they will like now, and then something nice (possibly a music box for FG and a sliver bank for RB) that they will appreciate when they're older.

For Groomsmen, technically FI is doing this but he never does anything so I'm helping. He wants to get them pocket watches that have something fun on them that they like. Like one of them is obssessed with nightmare before christmas, so we're getting him a nightmare watch. We haven't figured out the other two or ordered them yet though.

I'm bought some robes from etsy and will also be buying some gold earrings, too. I'm also paying for their hair and makeup for the day of, but that's not really a present for them - that's more like pampering which I think they'll enjoy (and will benefit my pictures!). I'm probably going to give everything to them at a bridesmaids' luncheon I'm trying to schedule for the day before the wedding.

Fiance's on his own for the GM - that's his thing

I am giving my girls earrings and a bracelet, plus I got them cute little cosmetic bags in our wedding colors with their initial on them. They are a little bit cheesy, but no one has too many cosmetic bags and I got them from this amazing seller on Etsy so they were super cheap. I am also HOPING to be able to pay for their hair and makeup...but so far I haven't found anyone who would be available that would be within my budget for this. So we will see! 

My fiance has no idea what he is doing, except we love the photos where all the GMs lift up their slacks and show off cute socks - so we think we are going to get all the groomsmen matching socks that are dorky (argyle or something) hopefully in our wedding colors. other than that....not sure!!

butterfly  & bridetobe - what etsy sellers did you use? I was thinking about doing robes and cosmetic bags to put in the vp totes I got them.

Hi Chelsea -

Here's the etsy seller I'm using for robes: http://www.etsy.com/listing/92348804/set-of-6-kimono-crossover-robe-spa-wrap I got 8 of them in teal, though. My mom was disappointed I didn't get her one, so I may have to get one for her, too. Ugh.

Butterfly, I'd love to know about the cosmetic bags!

Here is the seller I am using for cosmetic bags:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/81153823/pkg-of-6-gifts-6-monogrammed-cosmetic

She totally customizes all colors and thread choices. I am getting purple bags with a silver lining and ivory monogram. i got one for myself too For 9 cosmetic bags I think it was like...$120ish, so not bad at all. She has been super prompt and responsive which is always important to me on Etsy

she has been totally awesome so far, I will let you know what I think once I get my cosmetic bags! She should have then done within a week or two.

Thanks for the responses, ladies! TK had eaten my post for a while too, so I just now got back to reading these. You've got me thinking now that I want to put something more personal in each bag, as well. I still need to figure something out for the kids, though!
