BM gifts - How much did you $$?

crushme8602 · April 2010

So I wanted to get my girls a nice necklace and earrings (pearl) to wear on the day of the wedding. Also, a few little things like all the stuff that say BM, etc. The boys I'm not so concerned about, lol, but how much did you spend (average) on each of your girls (gifts)?

Thanks!

I set a budget between $50-$60 each (for guys & girls) I could easily spend $200-$300 on each of my girls, so I really have to be strict with the budget!

Just remember, if you're giving it to them and saying, "You have to wear this on the wedding day," then it's not their gift. Giving them jewelry that you know they'll love and will probably wear on the wedding day is fine as a gift though.

FWIW, I think I spent about $70 on each BM.

hmmm i probably spend about $70 or so on each (one a bit less b/c she was my slacker BM. she didn't find out about it though!! i gave the other 2 gift cards on the sly lol)

Breakdown of what I spent:

~$10 necklace and earring set from Etsy (PIB under The Look)

~$4 personalized gift bag

~Wine glass with vinyl initial and dots break down of cost was about $7 each (PIB under DIY)

~I'm also treating the girl to a mani-pedi on the day of the wedding

~On top of all that, I'm also giving my MOH a cocktail ring and a scrapbook I've been working on this past year comprised of all the pictures of us over the years.

So after all is said and done I spent about $50 on each BM. HTH!

I forgot to add that my flower girl and Jr. Bridesmaid obviously won't be getting the wine glasses so I'm getting them itunes gift cards for their ipods along with the necklace and earring set.

FI is getting the GM a bottle of their favorite liquor and a framed photo of all of them together on the party bus next month. He's planning on doing something extra for his BM but he's not sure yet.

I got my BMs a necklace w/ a matching bracelet for $6 each. I have a resale cert so I got them at wholesale price.
The flower girls got bracelets from Etsy and the grooms are getting flasks also wholesale price.
The ring bearer got a baseball bat engraved

I spent about $50/$60 pp and I did get jewelry they could wear to the wedding and after, and a few other things just for them.

This.

That's why I posted about $20 to $25 jewelry from JCPenneys...because I don't view that as their gift.

I haven't been on here in ages... but I spent around $100 each of my 3 BMs and a tad more, maybe $120, on my MOH. Can't remember exactly now. They were all gifts and not stuff "required" for the wedding. Hope everyone's doing well on here!

I spoke to my BMs...and asked if they'd like their hair and makeup done for the wedding (I will surprise them with something small as a keepsake). they were all VERY excited about it. But more than anything, i want everyone to feel beautiful and relaxed that day, not like hard workers! now...to find hair and make-up that's reasonable! riiiiight. i've already started saving.....
