what are you giving your bridal party as gifts??

karaovercash · August 2012

Hey everyone, i was wondering what you are giving your bridal party as gifts? our wedding is in 24 days and i need some help and ideas of what to get. so far for the BMs i have a 1)small make up clutch that says "Bridesmaid" 2)a pair of flip flops so they can kick their shoes off at the reception and 3) a necklace with a heart on it. all 3 are super cute but i only have $8 tied up on each BM. they had to buy their dress and i feel i need to spend a little more on each.

the groomsmen, he has no idea what to give as a gift for each of them. he was thinking about giving each a large bottle of their favorite wiskeybut is it okay to do that?

for the flower girl, Jr BM, Ring bearer, and bell ringer we thought about getting them a nice Legos set (they all like Legos) but these can be expensive. we have already bought the dresses and suits for these guys (because thier parents are all in the wedding also)

what are you getting your bridal party as a thank you?

oh, i almost forgot... we are toasting with "redneck wine glasses" (mason jar wine glasses) each BM and GM will get to keep their glass and will be given an extra so they have a set of them

your gifts sound fine to me. I think alcohol is okay, if it's what he likes. Why spend $$$ on something someone doesn't like... it's your wedding.

I just have a MOH and best man, not sure what we are getting. I will probably get my sister a nice white gold something, and for the best man, whatever my fiance decides will be fine with me.

The kids, not sure... probably a lego type thing for the ring bearer, and then some doll clothes, etc for the flower girl. So much to think about yet.

FI is getting his GM a case of some quality beer. (Which will go over VERY well.)

I am trying to figure out all of mine too. As of now, I'm going with a necklace, a 31 product (thermal totes), and hopefully an alphabet name photography print (with each of their last names) through etsy. I might throw in something else like a bottle of wine or a gift card to Starbucks.

Flower girls . . . TBD! Probably some costume jewelry and maybe something toy related. The most recent movie they saw was Brave, so many something with that.

There is a custom engraved wine glass at each seat for every adult member of our wedding party.

Bridesmaids - Necklace/earrings set, tote with a few small items (pen, notepad, chocolate, etc), frame with pictures of us through the years
Man of Honour - The same except that there is cufflinks instead of the jewellery, and I put a scrapbook together of us over the years (we've been best friends since grade 9)

Groomsmen & Best Man - Cufflinks & colourful socks. FI doesn't know but I'm putting together a 'beer cake' (like a diaper cake but with beer cans) for the getting ready time for everyone as well

Flowergirls and Ring bearers - We're doing toys for everyone, stuff they enjoy playing with, and may enjoy at the result. For the flower girls I also got them each a cute little bracelet engraved with their names

I am giving my bridesmaids their wedding jewelry ( bracelet and earrings), a pair of ballet flats in a cute little wristlet bag, pashmina's to wrap up in if it gets chilly, and personalzed hangers for their dresses. Still contmplating throwing in a survival kit and a bottle of wine.

The guys are getting a personalized flask, corresponding pint of their favorite liquor, and a cigar.

They are all also getting a personalized wine glass/ beer stine with a marker charm at their place setting at the wedding.

FI only has 2 guys done but they are twins who love craft beer so we got them either a wheat or IPA at home brew set for each of them. The other 2 he has no idea.

I got my girls a wedding day emergancy kit, personalized note pads, totes with their initials (both from VP) and then each a personal gift.

1.) Wristlet and wallet
2.) Star Wars Tervis Tumbler
3.) Plastic Tumbers and Vera Bradley zip id holder
4.) Sorority tumber, post its and frame set

I spent about $25 on each with their personalized gifts and about $20 on each with the things they all got.

We don't have FG or RB.

BM: Each is getting two chalkboard wine glasses (base is covered with chalkboard paint), a satin robe, and one of those personalized with wire hangers.

GM: Each is getting two chalkboard beer steins. Then 4 of them are getting grilling aprons that have a beer bottle holder and a beer bottle opener attached. The other two don't grill so we haven't gotten these yet. One just bought a house so we are thinking just a Lowes gift card would be great. The other we are totally stuck on and I keep reminding FI he needs to come up with it ASAP.

I made each BM a basket with stuff from Bath & Body works, flip flops and Dunkin Donuts GC (they all love their coffee)

FI's GM are all into hunting and fishing so he got them all stuff related to that.

for BMs, we bought their dresses, I made each one a wine glass with glittered stem and their name painted on it, as well as the hanger

for GM, FI is planning on buying each one a bottle of liquor or something

Our bridal party is just 2 people so I think we've decided to just stick with:

MOH: Pearl earrings (I got her a pearl necklace for college graduation and these earrings will match so now she has a set- she's been wearing fake ones for years and I know she'd like them) and possibly a new robe and def a picture frame

BM: Hysterical etsy cufflinks. He's big into cycling so my FI found ones that were made out of bike gear pieces-

Also- BEER CAKE A LA DIAPER CAKE???!?!? BRILLIANT!!! This is worth yelling about. I have never been so dorkily excited for a beer related craft EVER.
