    This isn't really something you'd make, but what if you get them little compact mirrors, and when they open them up, your coupon is inside?  If you want the mirrors to be extra-cute, I know there's some on Etsy, but I don't know how much $$.

    I would just tell them. I know if I was a BM I would want to know ahead of time, so I can plan for it. If they are the type that want to pay, just pay the artist ahead and tell her only to charge your card.

    i would just tell them. otherwise it starts to cut it close and they might make other plans for makeup.

    well both of the people have asked that they only receive payments from the bride.. so i told them they owe me x amount on the night before the wedding. our rehearsal dinner is 2 nights before.. so i was going to give gifts that night.

    i guess i should just tell them but then i guess it just feelsl ike there isn't much to my present..

    Sarack do you think you could make a coupon type thing and send it to them early? You could mail it to them and say "here is a part of your BM gift as a thank you". Something like that. I think it would be fun to do something more formal since it is a lot of money and a big part of your present to them. I think it would be fun to get in the mail. Then they will call you up and thank you and you will have a bag with a few goodies they day of!
