BM gifts

I got my bms a canvas tote and a spa robe with their initials on them. is that not enough ? do i need to get them something else to put in the tote? if so, any suggestions? 

Re: BM gifts

  • I am doing a tote too. I am going to probably just get some odds and ends here and there and make it into a thanks for surviving and gift tote. :)

  • I was told that you should gift your BMs as if it's their birthday. I'm planning on a Coach wallet, a giftcard (to Dunkin for one, to a restaurant for another), and probably a bottle of their favorite alcohol. 
  • I got totes, robes, necklace, earrings, wine, and little odds and ends for all 6 of them....maybe I went overboard, but they've been amazing!
  • I got them all hangers and I think I'll be getting them a personalized wine glass with a bottle of nice wine.  It's still a little up in the air.

  • i'm doing these really pretty mother of pearl rings from etsy, not part of their "wedding stuff" just because pearls are classic. and a pair of flip flops or sandels and probably some little "goodies" i will pick out from target to put in the gift bags as well...
  • I know I went over board for their gifts. But I have a small party and really wanted to pamper each of my girls. I got them customized clutches in their favorite colors, cute ballet flats, personalized hoodies, their jewelry for the wedding, bags of coffee from my trip to Costa Rica, and personalized coffee mugs. I will also include day of stuff.

  • OP, I think what you purchased for them will work just fine : )

  • I'm getting mine them hangers, flip flops, and tumblers with their names on them in addition to their jewelry. :)
  • I think it's just fine what you got them. Base it on your budget and of course get them something you know they'll like. If you want maybe you could add something different for each one. It doesn't need to be expensive.

    I've made them wine glasses with their initial, earrings and bracelet, working on personnalized hangers. I'll add a bottle of wine and gift card to a fav place of theirs. Since I made the first three things it didn't cost too much.

  • weeeellllll, don't i feel cheap.

    OP, that sounds good.

    i'm giving mine personalized hangars and handmade (but nice, i'm often not a fan of handmade jewelery so i'm picky) necklaces and earrings to match their dresses.  and possibly wine glass charms with handmade glass beads if that friend comes through....

    the guys are getting personalized glass mugs and a small bottle of whisky.
