Bridesmaids' Gifts

I'm completely stumped here.  I kept telling myself I didn't want to buy them all anything matching... but when I start shopping around, I draw a complete blank... what are you gifting your girls?

Re: Bridesmaids' Gifts

  • I am doing kind of matching - but also individualizing it.  They all got notebooks, notepads and pens - each have a different style on the items, with either their names or initials on them.(thank you vista print) I am going to get them all cosmetic bags - each a different style/print.  I love those purse hook things so I am going to get everyone a different one, and a few other small things.  Hope this helps!
  • I got them clutches to use the day of the wedding, i got the bracelets, also in the clutch i am going to put a mirror tissues and other must needs. Also I am getting them a hanger with their name for the wire and I am in the process of getting large men's button down t'shirts with there initials embroidered in it for when we are getting our makeup and hair done.

    I have two bridesmaids - one is my best friend and the other is my sister.... Well my sister hasn't talked to me in over two weeks- it will be three weeks this saturday.  So i'm not even sure she is going to go/be in the wedding.  So anyways - i'm not sure if and what I'm going to get my sister...

    I bought them jewlery they can wear on the wedding day or not... It doesn't match but it goes well together.  I paid for the rest of my best friends dress.  I also am paying for her hair and makeup for the wedding (I KNOW this isn't supposed to be part of the gift - but she really wanted to get it done so I just decided to pay for it for her / and i decided to pay for the rest of her dress because i felt bad that the dresses were a little more than i thought they'd be) .  Then I was just thinking about getting her a gift card to Victorias Secret.  I know I would love that so I know she will too :)

  • I'm buying their bridesmaid sarees but also not counting that as their gift. So far I have bought them all clutches (same clutch but in different colors for each BM). For my two MOH, I was thinking of giving them each really nice earrings. For my 3 other bridesmaids, I was thinking of getting them gift certificates to a spa. Not sure yet though!
  • I got all my girls earrings, personalized bracelets, flip flops and a cute flower clip for their hair! I also hope to put some money towards the make-up for the wedding since I only spent about $40 per girl so far..

  • I got each of my girls a personalized canvas tote bag, a pashmina, and a silver bracelet with their initial on it. I'll also give each of them a bottle of wine and a pair of flip flops to wear at the reception if they want to. If I can, I'm going to get each of them a little something that's personalized to them, but I haven't decided what yet.

    Not sure yet! I've only looked into a bit. I love the white ceramic band ones. They are gorgeous, but expensive! I don't want to spend over $150 per girl...that's for sure!

    May I ask why large/ men's?? If it's button down I would think it doesn't have to be large (meaning larger than their actual size).... and would they be able to wear them again?

  • All 3 of my BMs love cooking so I am getting them cooking things.  Already I got them each an apron with a pattern that has something they love on it.

  • I dont have bridesmaid, I do however have 3 bridesmen who happen to be my brothers.

    They are each getting shirts from Philavania (Philly sports teams) and gift cards to restuarants.

    Their wives who have each helped out in their own ways will be getting coach bracelets. FI has a groomslady and she will also be getting one of these and a coach purse. My best friend who has been a godsend will be getting a bracelet and purse also.

  • Around here it's totally customary to get them jewelry for their gifts. I've been a BM a couple of times and it's the only thing I've received. I've known a handful of others to have received the same thing for being in the WP as well.

    So, I got all of my girls necklaces and earrings for the wedding day. I also made them hangers and BM shirts. I'm going to get them either a personalized tote in their style/color or a little clutch in their style/color preference. I keep going back and forth with both options. I plan to do something a little extra for my MOH as well.

  • You ladies are going all out for your girls! I guess I'm not as generous :P

    But I got a canvas tote for the giftbag (to be used the day of the wedding) and I bought them their jewelry for the wedding day, which is very customary in my circle. I'm not sure what else little thing I'm going to do.
