  No, I think that's all fine, but it really depends on what's norm in your family/social circle.

  It is only too much if you went over your budget.
  
  I know it is a bit late to say this seeing as you most likely bought everything, but did you even consider whether or not the items in your gift are things your girls will actually want/use in the future?  BM gifts should be less matchy-matchy and more individualized to each person's likes and dislikes.
  
  Ask yourself this...would these gifts be something you would typically buy/think of when getting them something for their birthday or for Christmas?

  </div><div>But for your list as is, as long as you didn't go over your budget though, then I wouldn't think the amount of different items you've is too over the top.  However, if you've not yet purchased any of these things, I'd urge you to reconsider going the matchy/personalized route as it's usually not stuff people use after the wedding.</div>

  I don't think it's too much.

  Tons of cute unique gift ideas! check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/moonstonecreation. it is such a cute shop with tons of handstamped jewelry, bottle openers, military related jewelry, keychains, cufflinks, etc... Makes great wedding gifts for bridesmaids & groomsmen. I really like the handstamped necklaces for the BMs.
