    I got my gals cute little clutches (for anytime use, not wedding really), different colors that match the kinds of colors they wear, with some L'Occitane hand lotion, lip gloss, nail polish (again, not for the wedding, just colors I think they'd like for fall- picked ones specifically for each), and those little rubber monsters that go on your finger, like you got when you were a kid. Saw them at a store and they made me laugh.

    He got his brothers (the groomsmen) & his dad engraved beer steins.

    I have nooo clue what to get my folks. None. Not sure about the readers either. Guess I have 3 weeks to sort that one out. :P

    We got FI's two groomsmen custom beer steins - they have their favorite NFL team on it, and a small medallion that says "Best Man" and their first name (they're both "best men")

    We got my brother (who is taking the role of MOH) a horseback riding trip with his girlfriend.  We also got them custom coasters with their favorite pictures from their relationship for their birthdays.  I am also giving him a nice tie.

    We got FI's Dad a custom mug that says "Father of the Groom" then his first name and the date.

    For FMIL, we'll give her a small album after.  We'll also give that to FFIL, though he would have felt left out if he hadn't gotten a mug.

    We'll also get my parents something nice.  A huge thank you note, to start with.  My Mom deserves an extra special thank you, so I'm going to get her jewelry as a thank you.

    Still trying to get FI to decide what he wants to get his GM's.. :/

    All of my BM's are getting custom hand-painted wine glasses or coffee mugs from a girl I found on Etsy, a bottle of wine or bag of coffee and also something more along the lines of what I would get them for Christmas/birthday. The wine glasses and coffee mugs are all individualized to their hobbies/interests and the girl also used a photo I provided of each BM to paint a caricature of each girl.
