Spend more on bm/moh?

I was wondering if any of you are, if you should, or if it's wrong to spend more money on your MOH & Best Man then the bms & gms.  And, if you do should everyone receive their gifts at the same time?

I'm shopping as if it were their birthday with a general idea of how much I would like to spend. If my MOH has expensive taste than I suppose her gift could cost more, but the same would go for my BM's. I also intend to give the gifts at the same time during the RD.

We spent the most on parents, BMs, FG, RB and GMs, and then we still got smaller presents for ushers and program girls, etc.  It's really your call.  If you're not getting them all the same thing, I think it's fine within reason.

We did a little something extra for the MOH and BM because they did so much more than the rest of the bridal party. My MOH planned my shower and she and the BM planned the bachelor and bachelorette party. They both spent a lot more money and time on these events and we wanted to show our appreciation.

I spent roughly the same on all of my girls.  My sister was my MOH, and threw a shower.  As a shower thank you gift, I gave her concert tickets, which was really the biggest gift I got her.  But I made them the shower gift because I wanted to give them to her separate, as they were the most expensive gift I bought.

MOH got what I thought was a slightly nicer edition of the book I got for all of them.  I don't know what DH ended up spending on each guy, but they all got something different.

We are spending the same amount on each bridesmaid/groomsmen, the moh and bestman are getting a bit more spent on them than the others but we are talking maybe an extra $25.  They are doing so much for us, and my moh is my sister and his bm is his best friend in the entire world.  As we have been planning they have been the only two that have asked if we need any help or who we have asked for help. They love us dearly and we love them back more they deserve it!

Thanks for the answers.  We were planning on spending the same, or close, but I just wanted to be sure we were doing the right thing.

It actually turns out I'll be spending less on my MOH. I decided to get them all charm bracelets to wear and the charms that match our colors. But I'm gettinf the MOH the bracelet for christmas this year with different charms so all I'll do is buy her the charms as a gift.

I might end up getting her something extra though.

I am going to be spending more on my MOH because she is my sister and I love her I was her MOH and she is gonna be mine.  had it planned since childhood. I just feel like she deserves more than everybody else, for everything she has done for me over 26 years of my existence. Not sure about what FI is doing for his groomsmen though, thats his dept.

I spent just about the same on all of my BM's. I got my MOH one extra thing that was special to her from me. I think H spent a little more on some of his GM's than I did my BM's. I think as long as it is something they will enjoy and/or use and it is from the heart, you can't go wrong.
