Opinion on BM gifts

gpapale1

I really wanted to get my girls something fabulous, but it's just not in my budget.   I bought a Groupon to Vistaprint ($17 for $70, score!), and I plan on getting them each a tote bag with their initials.  They look like this:




I plan on adding their favorite wine/beer and a pretty wine/beer glass blinged out with crystals (I have a bunch left over from my cake topper).  I will also be including their fascinators and earrings for the wedding, but I know those really don't count as "gifts".  Is this enough?  I really can't afford to do much more.

I think that's a lovely gift! Your girls will definitely appreciate it, I can't imagine anyone complaining. Don't worry about how much you spend, it's the thoughtfulness that matters.

I think it's definitely enough.  I know people on TK will flip their sh#t if you call something for the wedding a "gift", but I haven't talked to anyone IRL who wouldn't consider it a gift (jewelry, etc.).  I bought my girls Coach wristlets (30% off of the already lowered outlet price!), a bottle of each of their favorite wine, and the earring/bracelet sets my mom made for my BMs.  I'm sure they aren't in your wedding only to get a gift =]

I had custom bracelets/earrings made for my 2 MOH and put together totes with stuff they might need the day of the wedding.  I am also paying for hair/makeup.  As far as I am concerned, good enough.

Yes it is enough, don't worry, these people are your friends, I doubt they are thinking their gift is going to be a digital camera.
