What's an average price to spend on the wedding party? I don't want to spend too much, but I don't want to look cheap either. And should I spend about the same amount on my junior bridesmaid and flower girl and ring bearer?

    There is no average. It's what YOU can afford. Some girls on here spend over $100, some spend less than $20.And no you don't have to spend the same amount. The gift should come from the heart, something you would buy them for their birthdays. Something they'll enjoy and get a kick out of.

    ditto stina.  The amount will vary based on the person and their budget.  I don't think you can say what the average is.

    What is important is to walk into a store and say "What would Casey really love?  What would Sandy really love?  What would Allison want?"  And then get that.

    WP gifts don't have to be, nor should they be, matchy-matchy.  Get each member of your WP what you might get them if you were birthday shopping or Christmas shopping.

    Just be sure that whatever you get them is for THEM and not for YOUR wedding.

    No average.  Whatever you'd normally spend on a gift for them.

    It should be in line with your wedding budget, I think.  If you're having a lavish, black-tie event and pulling out all the stops, a $20 BM gift is kind of cold.  But for a low-key DIY affair, that budget would be fine.  The important thing is that the gift is heartfelt.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Ours are related, but not the same... Everyone is getting certian things, matching necklace (the only thing they will have to match), their own jewelry - bracelets or earrings depending on the BM, their own purse or luggage bag, and something unique to them.

    For my MOH, I'm stumped.  But she's my sister, so I'll figure something.
    For my BMs/college roommates (there are 3), I'm getting one lotion, one a blender, and one a set of candles.
    For FH's sister... I'm still a bit stumped.  But she and I are a lot alike, so I'm sure I'll think of something!

    Overall, I'm spending around $75 on each BM, and I'm half way there getting everything!
