BM and GM gifts

jfox113 · October 2012

What are you purchasing and how much are you spending on gifts for your BMs/GMs? When do you give them the gift? Wondering if it's too early to buy?

I am thinking a coach wristlet with an Alex & Ani or Pandora bracelet inside.

wow you are very generous.

I only have one BM and FI has only one GM. Yes we will do a gift. I was thinking a cute clutch or wristlet like you and FI will probably buy an engraved beer stein or something like that for his GM.

I ordered custom made clutches from JennyGirlDesigns on Etsy and will also buy necklace and/or earrings depending on the dress necklines. Not sure what FI wants to do yet. The only thing I don't like is the flasks. Who's ever gonna use that??

I ordered our BM gifts. My brother owns an embroidery business, so I ordered some zipper tote bags in colors that match their dresses, and my brother is embroidering first names on them.

I also ordered them each a necklace from Premier Jewelry.

FI has talked about GM gifts, but hasn't gotten anything yet. Will probably do beer steins and top hats.

BM:
Clutch purses off of Etsy
Jewlery
Dress hanger
Mini bottle of Champagen

GM:
Superhero T shirt (we are doing that pic where they pull oen their tux shirts to show the superhero)
Cufflinks
cool socks
2 bottles of their favorite beer for nerves

I'm debating on giving them the day of just because they contain stuff they need to wear that day. Otherwise we will do it at the rehersal dinner.

I've gradually started buying BM gifts when I see good deals :-) I also have access to a specialty buyer's market that's starting their sample sale soon so I'll get a few things there too.

I haven't completely decided, but I would like to do the traditional picture frame and give them a pic of us from the wedding. I already bought them all a bracelet. I want to get them personalized hangers. I'm also considering the clutch idea.

FI is doing an engraved flask for his BM (becky, he will use it. lol just depends on the person. He actually takes it to weddings where there isn't an open bar... not a bad idea), an engraved pen set for another, and I can't remember what he decided on for the third.

I am planning on getting them a tote bag with flip flops and some small things in it. Probably some piece of jewelry as well.
The guys, who knows FI changes his mind daily.

I think your choice is excellent. It was really really important to me to give my girls something that I would like to receive myself, and that wasn't just something for them to use the day of the wedding and then never again, because my girls are traveling a LONG way for my bachelorette party AND for my wedding, and I really wanted to show my appreciation. I ended up with some coach wristlets, and some super cute silver rings with a knot on them. I'll probably throw random little things in as well, like each girls' favorite liquor in a mini bottle, and general wedding crap like nail file, tylenol, gum, etc.

Total cost, it'll end up being around $60 per girl at least, but it will depend on the little things. The wristlets have been $30-40, and the rings are small and simple and I got them for a steal at $11 each.

I'm not sure what the GMs are gonna get yet. My man is taking care of that. The price will likely be comparable to the girls though.

I don't think it's ever too early to start shopping! I've been buying the wristlets on ebay, and have the ebay app on my phone sending me a notification when the particular wristlet is listed.

I'm probably doing the a personalized wine glass with a mini bottle of champagne, wire name hanger and possibly a gift card for a coffee shop. I also plan on giving each girl 100$ to use towards any wedding purchase.
