We gave the bridal party gifts:- my sisters & DH's cousin received jewelry and monogrammed cosmetic bags.- his brother's and my cousin received beer football mugs with their names along with some other guy stuff, lol.Then we gave our parents:- DH's mom; a spa certificate with a nice card- My parents (who paid for a large portion of our wedding); we gave them a cruise gift!To the rest of those in attendance at the Rehearsal Dinner, we bought Godiva chocolate bars (they were on sale at the Godiva store), wrapped them in free super cute bags we got from Godiva, and cards.HTH!

LOL Jill! And I think you marrying their son should also qualify as the in-law gift.

LOL Jillian!!!  I think we are going to create wedding albums on Kodak or maybe Blurb since everyone raves about them.

I gave all of our parents a double frame and on 1 side was one of us as a toddler and the other side was an epic with the both of us. for the girls, I have them a personal note of thanks, some personalized notepads and earrings in a porcelain box. I had bought their dresses as their main gift for the guys, we got them all handmade wooden pens. my cousin is an aazing wooder worker and he made them for the guys as a gift to us.

I didn't know you were supposed to give those gifts at the rd...I was gonna give them on the morning of the wedding... Hmm... do you give them in front of other people???

Pats&Adri

avmn - we gave our readers really special cards & a special box of chocolate truffles from Godiva. Kinda corny, but they loved them lol.

Pats&Adri

Jamie - I don't know if this helps, but we gave them at the RD. They just didn't open them there!

Jaime NO WONDER why you were freaking about the bewb glasses!!!!! I didnt get it until now. I was like "how will they be in your wedding pics???"

cinthia122

I'm with you Jaime I thought it was the morning after. 

Vicki2914

I gave the gifts at the RD, b/c I wanted to show our appreciation for their hard work and support in front of everyone. It felt great to acknowledge them in front of a ton of ppl.

i gave the girls monogrammed tote bags with gifts - a monogrammed robe, pashminas, make-up bags, lip gloss, pretty cards and something else i can't remember. wedding day i gave them earrings and a necklace.matt gave his guys their gifts the day of the wedding, b/c a couple of the guys were late to our welcome dinner (delayed flights), haha. we gave our parents cards and told them we're getting them albums from Lux - which they are sooo excited about!

Michaels didn't have them??)Groomsmen - Monogrammed wallets & lotto tickets.Flowergirls & Ringbearer - Unsure? Probably toys, lol.And all will get handwritten notes!!

I gave my BMs and GMs their gifts at the rehearsal dinner. I called them each up and gave them out that way. For the GMs I got beer mugs with their names engraved on them (for $4 each!!!). I also had their ties for the wedding made, so that was part of their gift too (But because I didn't trust them to bring it with them the next day, we just told them about the ties at the rehearsal lol).For the BMs I got tote bags with each of their names embroidered on them, and inside I put Old Navy Sandals to match their dresses (which they all ended up changing into during the reception)! I also got them hair accessories and earrings to wear the next day, but I think I also didn't include those in their totes because I was worried about them forgetting that too! I also told them I would be paying for their hair/makeup. I included thank you cards in each as well. In addition, I got my MOHs/Best Man engraved wood frames with a quote and included that with their gifts. I also gave my mom and MIL a handkerchief with a quote; I called them up at the rehearsal to give that out as well!HTH
