September 2013 Weddings

Bridesmaids gifts...?

Has anyone started thinking about bridesmaids gifts?  I plan to either purchase or make them jewelry to wear the day of, but what about a formal gift?  My MOH, who got married over a year ago, bought nice household gifts for us-  things we would really use on a daily basis.  So far I'm not inspired to get my BM's nice, practical gifts.  (I'd rather get frilly, girly things, hehe.)  Does anyone have ideas for BM's gifts or actually put together their gifts?

  • So far I've gotten them Coach wristlets, and my MOH a big wine set (she's my wine lover); not sure what to get my other BM yet.  I'm also going to get them gift certificates for a spa day.

  • I made them personalized bags along with making a bridesmaid survival kit. You can google it and there is tons of ideas.

    I am having a horrible time thinking of these - and i know FI has not thought of groomsmen gifts yet either especially since he hasn't asked his last guy ... 
    I am thinking of bags with stuff in them that we will use and then they can use the bags later - I was thinking of wristlets I am just not sure if they will be in the budget -

    I am also considering paying for the converse - since I want all of us to have them - and we are going to cover them for the guys too I am pretty sure

    My MOH (sister) and I are both covering the hair and make up I think - they don't have to if they don't want to but I know my one bridesmaid would love to utilize the hair and make up people - but fairly sure she just doesnt have the money ... plus if she does pay for the hair and make up she won't be able to afford a room at the hotel for the night - since both will cost about the same I think if I tell her I am covering the hair and make-up she will be able to get a room

  • I wanted to give really sentimental gifts, so I'm putting together Shutterfly books for each of my BMs and MOH. They'll show pictures throughout our friendship and will include a text page explaining why they mean so much to me, etc. In addition, I think I'll be giving them fun travel bags, as they're all coming from Oregon to Colorado for the special day.

  • I am getting my MOH a new purse that I saw here eyeing when we went out recently, filled with some comfy shoes for the day of and some other small items that she loves (chocolates, etc.) For my sister, my only BM, I am going to get her a bunch of nice nail polish, a pick punch for her gituar and probalby something else, but I haven't decided.  She is 14 and I would rather get her something she would use than a bathrobe or a personalized beach bag.

    </div><div>Bummer! I'm sorry you lost all your photos!!! I wonder if you could go through some friends' Facebook photos and salvage some usable pics? If not, the wedding will be the perfect time to take new memorable ones <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> Best wishes on your quest for the perfect gifts!</div>
