Gift Cards it is....

rebeccaa12

For the BM's gift. Except one BM is getting married next Monday, so she also got a check Technically, the check is a wedding present for her wedding, not mine and she's getting it this weekend, not at the RD. Everyone got a GC to Victoria's Secret. I know you shouldn't get them all the same thing, but I've shopped with each of my girls and know they all love that place One, for instance always buys shoes there...another one buys all her swimsuits there...another one buys her workout clothes there (etc.)

My MOH #1= Is getting a charm from James Avery for her charm bracelet I got her

My MOH #2= Is getting a gift card to an awesome steakhouse here in Houston.

FGs (The same age, so they must get the same thing so they don't fight over them lol=The Little Flower Girl Book, and an earrings and necklace set.

RB- Something Green Lantern Lol

I'm also doing the same thing, and they are also getting VS gift cards : )  .... I know it's not very personal but so much easier and to be honest, if I was a bm in a wedding i would LOVE a gift card!

Those sound like really nice gifts.  I'm going back and forth between the idea of getting my BM's gift cards.  I also thought about getting one of my bridesmaids a personalized hand painted tea cup and saucer, with a variety of teas.  She absolutely loves tea.  So I would like to do something personal for each bridesmaid as well.  I'm just not sure what to get the others.

Hehe, yea, I decided I'm not going to worry about this anymore as I have more pressing issues to deal with. Also, they fit in that little envelope thingy I made

amber & rebecca-- If you don't mind me asking, how much are you giving with your GCs? I had been budgeting for ~$50 on each of my 6 bridesmaids but I feel like I've seen a lot of posts for up to $100 for each.  I NEED to get on this, as well as my FI... I want to get gifts completely done within the next 2-3 weeks.  Gifts for special occasions ALWAYS stress me out!

rebeccaa12

I'm doing $50 a piece...but I also got unrelated gift wedding-stuff for each of them (sashes, jewelry, tank). I think that even without all that, that $50 is reasonable.

I'm also kind of debating the price as well.  I've only got two bm's.  BUT i'm paying for them to get their hair and makeup done - not because I'm requiring a certain hairstyle but because I know my friend wanted her hair done but couldn't afford the makeup, and my sister could not afford either and I thought it would just be a nice gesture and would be fun for all of us to hang out together the morning of the wedding.  I also paid for half of both of their dresses - again I know not technically part of the gift but still.  I also got them jewelry - no it doesn't match and no they don't have to wear it to the wedding but just thought it was nice and if they wanted to wear it on that day they could....  Now with that said I was just going to get them 50$ gift cards but I'm feeling slightly bad about that ..... So I may do like $75 and was thinking about maybe getting them a couple smaller things.  Also I'm doing a DW so I feel like I should do slightly more for them.

With that said I think you giving your girls 50$ is just fine.  I mean if I was in your wedding I would be sooo happy to get that!  The last couple weddings I've been in I've just gotten the wedding jewelry (apparently they haven't heard of that rule that wedding jewelry shouldn't be the gift....) 

And Rebecca that card is so ridiculously cute!  I was just planning on giving the GC's in a hallmark card

Thanks! I know this isn't even important at all, LOL but I got them each a DIFFERENT gift card Sooooo unique.
