What are you doing for

Carykay · January 2012

So Ive been thinking about gifts for bridesmaids. I am not sure what I am going to do for them.. What is everyone else doing..? Please share.

OoPs.. I just saw there is already a post Kinda Like this!

Yes, there's a similar post below. Here it is again...

I got all 7 of my bridesmaids a necklace and earrings for the wedding day (which I think they'll love enough to wear in the future), pashminas, a really nice monogram totebag, hangers with their names, and bridesmaid tank tops.

I'm also doing a little something extra for my sister who's traveling a lot for the bachelorette in Vegas and wedding here in AZ, as well as my MOH who is going above and beyond what any normal MOH should be doing. I got my sister a manicure/pedicure gift certificate. I haven't decided what to get my MOH yet, but it will be something nice. If I can't think of anything, I may just pay for her makeup the day of the wedding. I'm also having a Paradise Bakery lunch catered the day of the wedding for all the girls.

I've got them all rings. They are beautiful. I hope they like them (although one of my girls hates jewelry) oh well.

ETA: I also got them necklaces for the wedding, but I am not counting that as their gift. I'm going to get them shirts for the bachelorette too.

I got them make up bags! I bought their shoes for them too (although I agree with Kerry, I'm not counting it) but it was costly so it drove down the price of the gift because i have 10 bm lol

elidellio · January 2012

I made all my girls hangers with their names and I'm buying them these wristlets of Etsy: Clicky! I'm choosing a different fabric for each girl so they (hopefully) have something they'll love. I may buy them some an inexpensive pair of earrings or necklace, too, but I haven't decided for sure.

For my BM's, Personalized wine glasses, Earrings/bracelet set/Personalized hangers, and Totes too..I'm also, having a luncheon for them...

Rachmarie23 · January 2012

I'm getting the girls earrings and pearl necklaces. I'm having the necklaces custom made by a friend so they will be unique to them. I am also contemplating getting them pashminas.

jbrook12 · January 2012

I am doing personalized wine glasses for each of them as well as a their favorite bottle of wine to go with it. I am then going to get them each a nice thank you kind of card and write them a personal letter in there.

I have a little extra something for my MOH, I made her a photo album with pictures of use through the years. I will give that to her in private since the other girls aren't getting anything extra.

mrsmustard12 · January 2012

All of my BMs are into cooking so I got them each a cute apron that has a print related to something else they like as well as a nice cookbook. I am also paying for all of their hair and makeup so I am sort of counting that as part of the gift.

HobokensFury · January 2012

So far I got them makeup mirrors. I've also in the process of choosing a necklace and earrings for the wedding. I'm probably going to get gift cards as well.

lisa&sean · January 2012

I only have a MOH...but I got her pearl earrings and necklace to wear day of and made her a DIY cute v neck t-shirt with super sparkly iron on from Hobby Lobby that said Matron of Honor...

cmac3504 · January 2012

I just ordered this bracelet for my BMs from Etsy (<- click) for the wedding (I'll be wearing the same one)... my friend will be making earrings to match. I'm still struggling with the rest, but I'm thinking about getting them each a bottle of wine and a gift card to a favorite restaurant that I've been to with each of them. My MOH (sister) is flying in from CA for the wedding & shower so I want to give her something extra. Also, one of my BMs is going to be the cantor for our wedding, so I' plan on giving her a gift card for a mani/pedi or one that she can put toward the hair/ make-up for the wedding.

I know etiquette says you shouldn't consider a WR gift...... but I'd rather give something to the girls that is practical and will limit the $ they have to spend, then give them something that is going to collect dust on their dresser or attic!!

amberr110 · January 2012

I got them necklaces (not for the wedding).

jml1981 · January 2012

I bought my girls Coach black leather wristlets, made them name hangers, made them a a monogrammed tote bag and I'm going to fill it with stuff for the wedding day - a "Bridemaid's survival kit". I may get them another small item too.

Aks3131 · January 2012

I got my two girls earrings they picked out themselves to wear the day of the wedding, a clutch from coach not for the wedding day, the hangers with their names on it from etsy, and champagne glasses with their names on it.

adrienne0925 · January 2012

I got them:

1-Earrings and bracelet to wear the day of the wedding (but they can def be worn anytime!) Earrings are plain gold balls (like the tiffany's look), and the bracelets are personalized from Etsy. Gold leaf, with name inital and gold pearls.

2-Flip-flops

3- Gold flower hairclip

4-I am paying a $20 deposit for each girls make-up for the wedding

I think that is plenty! I spent about $65 on each girl total.

Nice choice. I really wanted to do this, but wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much since I have 7 bridesmaids. In the long run though, I've now spent WAY more than I intended and totally should have done that from the start. lol

miranda1211 · January 2012

I'm getting them earrings that they can wear to the wedding... if they want. I'm not asking them to have matching shoes, hairstyles, jewelry, etc... just the dress. But the earrings are dark blue crystals, and their dresses are navy, so I'm hoping they will like them enough to wear them at the wedding

I'm also getting them a little OPI pouch with nail polish, and will pay for manis/pedis the day of the wedding.
