Good Morning everyone! 

I ws wondering if you gals would be willing to tell me what you got your bridesmiads as gifts.  I need some creative ideas.  I was thinking some handpainted wine glasses but I wanted some more ideas.  I am so not creative btw....

    I'm doing something personal.. Something I would get them for a normal occasion. My sisters (MOHs) love purses so I'm doing that. Certain BM are getting games, movies, ect. I think I'm buying their sairs and jewerly too.

    Mine got a necklace (that they can wear for the wedding if they want, but is not meant for it), a champagne flute with their initial on it, and "bridesmaid" written on the bottom, a bag with their monogram, and other little goodies like nail files, tissues, advil, ... there's something else i'm forgetting i'm sure...

    I am not creative - at all.  I got my bridesmaids a Coach coin purse from the Coach outlet store.  The outlet store has pretty good prices, plus they usually always have an additional 20% off coupon. 

    I like the painted wine glass idea.  You can also buy them painted and personalized - try etsy. 

    If you are set on painting them yourself, I am of no help.  Sorry.

    The day before the wedding, we're doing brunch (on me) and mani/pedis (on my mom). I felt like that was a lot already, so I just got them the shea-infused socks and mini foot scrub and foot lotion from Bath & Body Works. I'm going to write a little note with something about treating their feet after a night of dancing!

    Someone on here (I can't remember who - Marissa maybe) used initial and polka dot stickers on wine glasses and they looked really cute, so that's an alternative if you aren't confident in painting them.

    My sister did red leather flasks with an engraving and rhinestones, as well as coordinated jewelry to wear at the wedding.

    I'm (so far) buying their dresses, paper fans (plan to customize) for Vegas (where our ceremony is), and will probably add something else fun/personal (including a special note)...

    I took my BMs for a spa day and lunch the day before the wedding.  It was so fun!  I also got them monogrammed towel wraps to get ready in the day of.

    I bought them on Etsy and everyone has LOVED the glasses!  They are really inexpensive and she replaces them for free if it breaks during shipping.  Etsy seller <span style="font-size:11px;" class="dark_grey_text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/scrapsoflovebyjen">www.etsy.com/shop/scrapsoflovebyjen</a>"><u><font color="#0000ff">scrapsoflovebyjen</font></u> .

    Oh yeah I also get them each a pair of flip flops, the wedding day jewelry, a bottle of wine and a wine stopper.  And I put it all in a tote that I bought at Sam Moon and had monogrammed.

    I got them soft wool wraps because although my wedding is early november their dresses are sleevless and it could still be cold.

    I plan to also get them some mini champagne, some nice chocolates, (probably godiva assortment), and then each one will get a cookie decorated like their dress from here. 

    I figured everyone likes gifts they can consume!

    I then plan to write something like "thanks for making my special day so sweet"

    I did the wine glasses with the vinyl stick-ons....no creativity needed! I got the stickers on Etsy.com and the glasses at Bed Bath and Beyond.
    I also got them earrings, a tank and snacks in their wedding day bags I made. All the pics are in my bio link.

    Wow!!!  You guys have some amazing ideas!  I actually went to Sam Moon today to look. Couldn't find a thing but did find two rhinestone head bands for my two flower girls. 

    I am taking them the day before for a pedicure and manicure then lunch.  Maybe that is enough and I am overthinking.  I might go ahead and pull the trigger on the wine glass idea that's probably enough.

    Disclaimer: Please excuse the above comment. I'm probably freaking out because there is less than one month to go. Thank you.

    Well, I got the gifts yesterday.  I was at the mall buying more makeup and I went into Hallmark and they had some beautiful handpainted glasses that I was able to get different ones for each girls personality. 

    They are so cute....http://www.lolitaglasses.com/

    Thanks for all your help everyone!  Im getting close and freaking out with the little details I am  missing.
