Bridesmaid Luncheon

I'm planning on hosting a fairly casual lunch at a restaurant for my girls the day before the wedding.  I know that if you're doing one of these it's pretty normal to give out the gifts during that time.  No problem except the mothers and my grandmother are also invited.  Is it weird to give my girls gifts and not the older ladies? 

We obviously have gifts for our parents, but will give those at the RD and I wasn't planning on getting a gift for grandma at all.  Our groomsmen and readers would be getting gifts at the RD too, I guess.  Maybe I should just wait and do it all at the RD?  But will the BMs be expecting them at the lunch?

I don't know.  Thoughts?

Wel... I see your concern, but TBH the BM's really shouldn't be "expecting" a gift at all.  I think waiting until the RD should be fine.

If you decide to do gifts at the BM luncheon, maybe just a nice card for the other ladies?

Maybe you could get flowers for the other ladies? Like a corsage or something similar to make  them feel like guests of honor? I like Monica's idea of a card as well. Your BMs will be glad to get a gift whenever you decide to give it. So waiting until the RD should be fine too.

Hmm, maybe it's just easier to do it at the RD.
