    I'll probably end up spending $100ish on each (a little more for the MOH).  Their dresses were about $200.

    I spent probably a little over $100. They picked their own dresses, but I think they were probably $100-150ish.

    My MOH's gift is $350 and the BMs are total about $100 each.  We aren't going over $150 for their dresses.

    I'm spending about $350 on both MOH's & $100 on each BM, plus paying for everyone's hair. Dresses are around $200.

    Wow I feel cheap, but I couldn't afford more( I also have a huge wedding party). I spent 100 each on the MOHs and 50 each on the Bridesmaids. I'm also paying for everyone's make-up.

    I'm scared to add it up but yes it's way over their dress price.

    thanks for all your responses! i was just trying to gauge bc my girls dresses are a little over 200, but i have 7 BMs plus MOH so it will add up quickly. i think i will end up spending about 150 per BM and more for MOH, but i was worrying that maybe i should spend more bc their dresses are expensive. do you girls think this sounds ok? the gifts will all be meaningful to my relationship with each girl.

    I would spend a million on each,...but one can only dream. Here is my BM gifts on a budget~

     I made my bridesmaid jewelry from Brooklyn Charm Shop and AC moore supplies. 5 necklaces, 2 bracelets, 4 pairs of earrings, = $120 (Amethsyt and gold plated items)
    I am going to pay a part of their hair and makeup so they only have to pay like 50 for both with is like almost $125
    and handmade monogrammed boxes for $25 in total. 
    Also planning totes with flip flops, survivor kits, and umbrellas that my parents can get from their store whole sale. $50

    I guess 300 in total...their dresses are 175 ish..

    Lastly, I am writing really really long letters on how much I appreciate them and all that weepy stuff...

    That's a nice idea.  I will buy something to my bridesmaids and MOH.  But I like the idea of writting a long letter telling how much I appreciate all they have done for me.  My MOF specially is doing so much! She is out of this world amazing!!!
