September 2012 Weddings

Re: What are you purchasing for your bridesmaids?

  • I am thinking about getting these for my BM.  http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/birth-month-flower-necklaces

    Do you think your girls will use the robes again or get much use out of them, besides wedding day prep?

  • I made them each a basket filled with bath and body works products.  I also got them each a pair of flip flops to wear at the reception and i will be paying for their hair.  I really like those robes, those are a very cute idea!
  • I'm struggling to figure out what to get... I love the flip flop/b&b basket idea, maybe I could come up with a deviation of that...
  • Those are really pretty!

    I just have one MoH and I was struggling with what to get her. She isn't the monogramed item kind of girl which rules out most traditional BM items. She can generally afford something if she wants it and since she lives so far away I don't know what she already has. Plus, she'll be moving cross country about 2 months after the wedding so I don't want to get her something bulky. She's also trying to get pregnant so a really nice bottle of wine/booze is out. 

    Anyway, I remembered like an hour ago that she loves taking baths. I think i am going to get her a mix of bath stuff and salts/spices. I may even throw in one of those robes!

  • So far I have gotten my bridesmaids monogrammed lunch totes, jewelry travel rolls and earrings, and a wet swimsuit travel case.  I tried to get things that were useful that they wouldn't normally get themselves.

  • I love love the basket ideas! I think I may do that with their robes!

    I think they would reuse them, it's a very light robe, and their adorable so I think they would :)

    Another good idea might be to get each of them a personalized hanger to go with their robe?!
  • I got my girls coach make up bags with little goodies inside- starbucks gift card, lip gloss, mini candle

  • I decided to get my girls the Victoria's secret supermodel swears....I just wanted the white set with the angel wings for me...lol ...we all are getting white vs cropped pants, and I got them a colored hoodie with the wings and a white one for me...I didn't want to get the "bride" one....I am only having one day : I also got matching cute flip flops and a monogram tote for each of them I only have 2 girls I love the bath salts and robe ideas too! God this last 2 months is flying by....at least this is one less thing on the list!!!!
  • Hate posting from my phone! None of the symbols u type show up! Can u say RUN ON SENTENCE!!!!! Lol
  • I got my girls cute tote bags from Target and am putting flip flops, a beach towel, and a personalized glass for their beverage of choice (cocktail/wine/beer).  We're having a beach wedding, so those things are appropriate.  I also made them each a dress hanger, which I gave them when their dresses came in.
  •   I tried to make their gifts personal, but not "personalized."  I bought them a tote bag from Etsy (different bags for each girl based on their stye).  Inside I'll be putting a gift card to their favorite restaurant, lotion, chapstick, chocolate, and mints.  I might include a scarf for each of them if I have enough money left over:)

  • I really want to get hoodies for me and all my girls.  All of my bridesmaids are married, so I want to get Mrs. Hislastname hoodies with each of their wedding dates on theirs.  None of them had anything special like that to wear when they got married, so I was thinking it would be fun for all of us to have them.

    I'm just having trouble finding someone who does embroidery at a reasonable price.

    So In Love
