in Wedding Party
Hi, I am buying my girls Juicy tracksuits for their Bridesmaid gifts.  Once I purchase them, where should I have them personalized?  I live in NYC area and would be willing to go to Manhattan or the boroughs for personalization OR if you know of a good online company with a website that maybe I can send these to to have them personalized, and shipped back to me.  Thank you!!!

    From my answer on the favor board. 

    This doesn't answer your question, but personalized with what?  Their names or their role in the WP.  I'm not a fan of either, actually.  I quite some time ago outgrew the need to have my name on my clothing.  But I can promise you that if I were given a track suit with "Bridesmaid" embroidered on it, it would end up in my church's clothing drive as soon as the wedding was over.

    How about you save the $$ and not have it personalized at all?
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    Do your friends normally wear things embroidered with their names? Or are you planning to embroider "Bridesmaid" on them?

    Anyway, check out those mall kiosks that do embroidery. Or get iron-on letters or rhinestones from a craft store and do it at home.

    But I'd highly suggest that you think twice about giving these things as gifts, if your friends don't normally wear monogrammed items. And it's REALLY not a gift if it says "Bridesmaid," because it's something that's useless aside from your wedding.

    But if this is in addition to personal and heartfelt gifts that have nothing to do with your wedding, and you want them for a photo op, go nuts.

    It's bad netiquette to post the same question in multiple forums without at least mentioning that it's a cross-post. You're basically spamming the boards.

    If you don't want opinions, don't post on a public forum. Giving opinions =/= being bitchy.

    A tracksuit is a personal preference kind of thing. I know people who love them and I know people who hate them. I've seen people who look awesome and I have seen far too many people who should not be wearing them.  I am willing to bet there are one of each of the above in your wedding party.  If you are giving them something to wear FOR pictures and on YOUR wedding day, it's not a gift for them, it's a moment for you.  Your BMs are individuals and you have them as friends because of all of their unique personailities.  Why would you make them all clones because you can't seek that uniqueness in gifts?

    <div>A lot of times brides will buy the jewelry or shoes for their wedding party and consider that their gift.  Also, I have seen brides pay for their hair/makeup for the big day and that was their gift.  I have also had a friend who got married in the winter and gave her wedding party Burberry scarves.  What else would you suggest for Bridesmaids?  I don't have the time to pick out specific gifts for each girl, plus I don't want to have to deal with anyone being jealous or upset because they thought someone else's gift was better than theirs, etc.  I'm really open to another idea if you have one.</div><div>
    </div><div>I did think of forfeiting the JC tracksuits (since I've gotten such a negative response about them), and maybe buying them the Badgley Mischka shoes I will be wearing, but in a different color. What about that?</div><div>

    Gifts for the WP to use in the wedding aren't gifts to them, they're gifts to you.

    What would you be buying them if it was Christmas?  Shop accordingly.  And I'll thank you not to lecture me on netiquette.

    Just because that's what a lot of brainless people do doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.  The main point here is that if it is FOR YOUR wedding, it is not a gift for your girls.  Will they ever wear the jewelry or the shoes or the hair again? No. 

    It doesn't take a lot of time to think of what your friends like.  Set a limit- say $50pp and think of things that suit them and their personalities.  If they get jealous because someone else got a "better" gift, well that's their immaturity.  But if you got them something that suits them and what they like, I doubt you will get jealousy.  Someone reads, B&N gift card.  Someone is a sports fan, gc of their fave team.  Someone loves Olive Garden, GC to OG. Get it?  That doesn't take a lot of time.

    OP, there's no need to refer to the people who gave you advice as "bitchy".  And language like that is against the rules of TK.  Consider this a warning.

    As far as what PPs have said, make sure that anything you give as a gift really fits your BMs.  When I was planning my wedding I was stressed too.  BUT, the last thing I wanted to do was buy something that my three best friends would not have liked.

    And do remember that anything you give with strings attached ceases being a gift.  Jewelry for the day of, treating friends to hair and makeup or paying for something wedding related are not gifts to your BMs.  I understand that others may have done this but they weren't really great gifts.

    If your friends are into JC tracksuits then great.  I wouldn't personalize them though. If you really want to make them feel "fun" for the day of then go to a party store and buy the banners you can get for bachelorette parties in case they want to wear those things on top of their attire.

    But make sure that what you buy fits the recipients.  If that means different gifts for different BMs then that's fine.  And with a wedding that isn't until May of next year, you have ample time to find different gifts for your BMs if need be.

    I'm very sorry you feel that way.  I would just hate you to waste your money on something your BMs will never use again after your wedding, particularly something as expensive as what you're planning.  I wouldn't want to waste my money that way.  Big deal?  No.  But why half-ass it?

    Also, name calling isn't acceptable either even if it doesn't involve profanity.

    One last thing:  For the future, please do as PP stated and if you're going to post the same thread in multiple forums, begin the thread with XP so those here know it's a cross post.  That's just good netiquette.

    What is so wrong and difficult about picking out a gift for each friend that speaks to them.

    Do you give everyone you know matching useless items for Christmas too?  These are your friends!  They deserve a gift with a little thought to it.

    I once had a friend tell me she was so busy she barely had time to wipe her own ass.  Now I am a busy person and if anyone understands busy and no time, I surely do. But, I can take the time to do what's important in life, and ass wiping is at the top of those  important things.

    Well, everything that I would've said has been said very well so far.

    1. Don't buy tracksuits.....

    2. If you DO buy tracksuits, don't get them personalized because I can almost guarantee that they won't be worn very many times.

    3. Be thoughtful and buy people things that THEY like, things that aren't related to YOUR wedding or YOU in general.

    My first thought on this was Troll because I didn't think people still bought/wore juicy track suits.  But since nobody else called it, I will go ahead and respond...

    But regardless, I can give you my opinion, which agrees with most of the people you referred to as b!tchy.  Personally, if I were given a juicy track suit, it would either be returned to the store, or given to good will.  Not my style at all.  But if you know your WP and you know they would wear it then go with it.  Same with the embroidering.  Do your BMs normally wear personalized stuff?  Again, I wouldn't be caught dead in something that had my name across it, or even worse, against my butt.  I have to wear enough stuff with my name on it when teaching or coaching. 

    Only you know your BP.  But to say you don't have time to shop individually for them when your wedding is that far away makes you seem selfish.
