Bridal Party Gifts/Limo

SweetPea1126

I'm just curious as to what people gave their bridal party as gifts! I'm thinking about filling a tote with a bunch of goodies for my girls, but I'd like other ideas please! Any particular websites you're using, or have used?

Also, I'm looking for limo companies.  Problem is we need to be able to fit about 18 people.  Any recommendations? TIA!

Since we got married on MV, I got the Vineyard Vines totes. Pics are in my planning bio. I got my maid of honor a Lauren Merkin clutch as a special thank you. I knew they all loved VV stuff so I was comfortable getting them the same thing, but sometimes it is even best to shop for them as you would their birthday. Why not fill their totes with things they individually love like perfume, candy, tickets to the movies, a good book or fun jewelry?

For limo companies we used Andrew's Limo Company.  I can't say how much I loved using them.  They were easy to work with and affordable compared to other companies.  We use them for everything now - in particular a driver named Bob who is fabulous.  He came prepared for everything like he was a wedding consultant - it made my day so special.  www.andrewslimousine.com

For the bridesmaids I used a tote ordered from the Knot.  I cut out wood and covered it with fabric for each for the bottom of the tote to make it hard so the tote could stand on it's own.  Inside I had a really nice spa robe that was embroidered with names/nicknames and with the date.  Inside I also puts lots of other goodies like jewelery for the wedding among other things.  For my MOH (my sister) I also got her her own margaritaville because she pined over mine for so long.  

Hope that helps!

I bought each girl a Marc Jacobs tote in their favorite color and filled it with a monogrammed make up bag and their favorite Bath & Body Works stuff. I also made their jewelry for the wedding, included a hair flower I had made from Etsy for them and Fit in Cloud shoes to change into for dancing. I also made tank tops with "bridesmaid" and "maid of honor" on them to get ready the morning of the wedding.

Jonnysbride, how were the fit in cloud shoes? I saw them before and thought about getting them for the girls.  I'd love to get a pair for myself but I wear a size 11 so they're not big enough! haha

I love them BUT they run small. I ordered myself a size Medium and I am a size 8 shoe and they are tight! Super comfy and cute and fit perfectly in a purse!

I don't have gift recs but for a Limo we are using Expo Limo

I rented a stretch Hummer for the night of our rehearsal (fits up to 24)
They gave me the best price.

Okay so if they run tight then I definitely can't fit into an 11! haha

Thanks mcononico! I'll definitely check them out! It's been tough with limo's because I'd like to have an old fashioned car also, but it's almost impossible to find a company that has both! I may have to lose that idea!

Oops, I meant definitely can't fit into a 10! Yikes, my brain has not been working lately! I think it's the antibiotics!

I had jewelry made for each of them on etsy and the pieces are GORGEOUS.. totally something they can hold on to after the wedding. I also had custom clutches made for each of them which ended up being GORGEEEEOUS. I dunno if I am doing anything else yet. what I got them wasn't cheap...
