    Whatever you put in it, it needs to be something not related to your wedding.  Don't give jewelry that you want them to wear to the wedding, for example.

    What would you give them if they were not in your wedding and you were giving them a birthday or Christmas gift?  THAT's what you should give them. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Shop like it's their birthday. Got a coffee lover? Maybe an awesome mug, some coffee and a gift card to Starbucks or some other place. Got a movie lover? Maybe a dvd or two, some popcorn and some candy and a gift card to a theater. See what I mean?

    I got each of my girls comfy clothes. One got a pair of Pink Sweatpants and a Pink winter hat, one got pajama pants and slippers from Gap, and one got a hoodie and I forget what from Aerie, all complete with gift receipts in case I guessed totally wrong.

    I would rethink the personalized portion of the bags. I wouldn't carry around a bag that had my name on it. If you get them all the same bag, maybe you could put in something different to match each person. If you have someone that likes make up, put that in hers. Someone who loves music, maybe an itunes gift card. The possibilities are endless!

    I'm putting together Oragami Owl living lockets for the gals so I can personalize each based off of their interests and personalities

    Who doesn't love Wine?? We did these wine carriers with two bottles for each bridesmaid and at that same shop, we did the beer carriers for the men. It matched the rustic feel of our wedding and it was something they definitely would enjoy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/120898438/wine-carrier-beer-carrier-perfect-gift
