BM Gifts

jodecii · June 2012

Just wondering what creative or really any idea all you ladies have for your BM gifts. I am freaking.

I have 7 bridesmaids. What is the appropriate amount to spend?

DeClue82 · June 2012

I have 5 bridesmaids, here's what I got them....

Michael Kors Necklace: $43

Robe for getting ready: $22

Made a hanger for their dresses: $2

So each girl I spent right around $70...

I don't think there is a right amount to spend, do what you can for them. I over spent a little bit, but I really liked the items that I found for them...I'll also be writing them each a personal note to thank them....

I like the idea of writing them a personal note. I think that is a very sweet touch.

I have 5 adult BM's and 2 younger BMs. The younger girls got cute little flower picture frames ($1/each) and both got name engraved bracelets which are super cute $14/eac.

I also got my FG a "Flowergirl" tote with her name ($11), and also a flowery picture frame.

Adult BMs got:

Champagne glasses from Xmas tree shop $6 for 8 glasses

Champagne glass sticker decals from Etsy which are pink & orange polka dots with black monogram of their initial and name on the base $18 for all glasses

Engraved circle necklaces from TK each $10 with personalization.

And of course a nice note telling them how much i appreciate their friendship. So I only spent around $60-$80 for all 5 BMs.Personally, I think it is outrageous to spend upwards of $100 per bridesmaid when you have so many attendants. But that's just me on a budget. Spend what you can!

I got my BMs these totes...they are great quality (I got one for myself that I've used as a work bag for over 6 months and it's still in great shape).

they have a lot of nice bright colors too. I personally got all black totes with different color names

Wow! Thank you so much for posting these!! I've been looking for bags like this but never thought to try eBay. Thanks again!!

For my bm's I have 2 I am doing totes, personalized wine glasses, bottle of wine, bracelet and possibly a clutch.

tuarceatha · June 2012

I haven't purchased anything yet, but I'm thinking of getting each of the 4 adult BMs a nice bottle of wine, and a couple of more personal items. One girl is really into wine and birds (Put a Bird on It). So I am getting her these: Makeup bag and Glass Identifiers. My fifth BM is 13 so I will likely get her something not related to wine... but no promises. jk I love the Paper Source for cute-girlie gifts.

rungirl12 · June 2012

I bought all 6 of my BMs a pair of running shorts. I chose different colors based on personalities/likes and spent $20/pair. They all run, so I know they will get used. I know it's not a pricey gift, but it's a gesture, and one they will all get use out of.

spazticrexe · June 2012

I got each of my girls a piece of really nice birthstone jewelry. That'll be it though, bc they were expensive lol

libby2483 · June 2012

I am not getting all of my girls the same gift, but I am going with an accessory theme. Two girls are getting scarves, two are getting a clutch, one is getting a cowboy hat, and my junior bridesmaid is getting jewelry from Claire's. I will also include a letter in each one. I can't see any of my girls using monogrammed purses or anything like that so I decided to go a different route. There is definitely nothing wrong with monogrammed stuff, I just know it is not a good fit for my girls.

bbalr · June 2012

I also have seven bridesmaids. I am getting them each a three month subsription to Birchbox. It's $30 per subscription. I have one and I love it!

Thank you for that!

So far I bought each of them a mug....I found them at the dollar store, but they were really cool looking, and I inspected them before I bought them. I'm probably going to put some tea bags in each one. I plan to add more to their gifts, I just don't know what yet. I feel like they've given me so much already (they bought our toasting glasses and the cake cutting set and got them engraved!) that I just feel that I need to return the favor in any way I can.

Also, I found this list on TK the other day, and it's a great list of gift ideas by category.

I purchased handmade earrings and personalized clutches from Etsy. I spent about $60 for each BM. I want to do something extra for my MOH. Any ideas?

saraschilling88 · June 2012

I am getting my BMs:
Totes (well, cute reusable grocery bags)
Kleenex
Lotion
Chapstick
Jewelry

My MOH and one BM will be getting additional gifts for helping SO much, but I'll probably end up getting my other BM a smaller extra gift so she doesn't feel bad..

Each one is also getting a handwritten thank you note

leamide · June 2012

I got mine charms bracelets with a charm that means something special to each of us personally. I also got them a cinch bag with their names on it from a Thirty-One party i had.
