What do you think of this idea?

For my BM I am getting them a satin robe, personalized hangers, and a set of chalkboard painted wine glasses.  Instead of trying to wrap these or getting gift bags, I was thinking of presenting them by hangin each girls robe on her hanger and then either below them, next to them (if I laid them on the hotel bed for instance), or over on a table, have the wine glasses with their name written in chalk on their glasses and their thnak you note.  What do you think?  We aren't having a RD so we will have to have them come to a room to give them their gifts (want to do it privately).  I personally think wrapping paper and tissue paper are wasteful so I was trying to think of something different but didn't know if opening something was half the fun.  I know guys don't care so setting out their grilling aprons and chalkboard beer mugs will be fine.

  • Sounds great! I am giving each girl a card at the rehearsal dinner. The night before the wedding we're all hanging out, so I'll give them their personal shirts then. Everything else ( I made them these personalized table top mirrors, mugs with thier names on them, etc) will be set up in the conference room we're getting ready in for when they come as a surprise :)
  • I like that idea better than just gift boxing it; it really brings everyone together :)

  • I love the idea :)

    The only reason I'm doing gifts at the RD instead of the morning of is so the BMs don't have to worry about keeping track of their gifts when going from salon, to hotel, to venue etc.
  • Great idea...I should have read this post before I posted mine asking for suggestions for BM gifts!
  • Cute!  What about filling the wine glass with champagne so you guys can toast before the wedding?

  • I think that is a great idea and very similar to what I'm doing! I also agree its not necessary to wrap everything and this seems cute and different. I made them personalized hangers that I will hang their dress from, I made their earrings so I will have those attached with a little note about the stone, I am also buying their shoe so that will be placed somehow. I thought it would be cute to get a pic with all the dresses like that. I also got them lotion and soaps from bath and body works along with a robe from Victoria secret that they can wear the day of. I thought about putting them together in these super cute recycled burlap bags that I found on etsy.
