Gifts for bridesmaids

Does anybody have any idea if I should get some type of gift for the maid of honor who is planning the Bachelorette party? Just to say thank you for being such a help for the wedding? (In addition to the typical bridesmaid gift)?

  • I think it would be nice - but make sure you know if ALL of the BMs pitched in financially.  Also, I'd send it afteward with a thank you card.  If you gave it to her in front of the others it might be a little awkward
  • Shop for her like it's her birthday.  She'll appreciate a thoughtful gift so much more than some generic cliche BM gift.  For example, I gave my sister/MOH concert tickets to a show she was dying to see.  So much better than a monogrammed tote.
  • I agree.  As my mom would say, "a small token gift" to say thank you would be nice. 
  • all of my girls already know what they are getting...homemade pearl jewerly sets, according to what they like and what they might wear again.  every girl is getting either a necklace or a bracelet and earings.  This was partly for budget reasons...necklace and bracelet for everyone is a lot of extra pearls...but my MOH does not have pierced ears.  She is the only one out of 10 girls (every girl in the wedding is getting one of these sets) who is getting the more expensive combo.  They are also all getting homemade stained glass jewelry boxes with their first initial etched into the glass.  That part is a total supprise.  Good Luck, remember, if she was not a good friend or close family she would not be your MOH, you know her and what she likes...give her something she will appriciate.
