Bridesmaid gifts!

daisy667 · January 2012

What did everyone get/ is everyone getting for bridesmaid gifts?

So far I have cosmetic bags from etsy, each one in a different style to fit the bridemaid, and bracelets. I still want to get a few more things that I can put in the bag.

I haven't gotten mine yet but yours sound nice. Maybe something that's a personal connection between you and each of them. Something individualized to a memory you two share.

I picked out some handmade sterling silver earrings for each girl from a shop in downtown Concord. I liked that there were different styles so I could pick one that 'fit' each girl, but that they were the same in that they each got one of the same item, if that makes sense. I got each girl a clutch for the wedding,and also got matching bathrobes for getting ready (lightweight knit ones from the GAP outlet). They all seemed to love those things!

Good ideas, might steal that!

I still haven't purchased anything yet, but I was figuring a jewelry item to each girls taste, maybe a bag and day of emergency kit, and maybe some other small items.

So glad I could help! The pictures of us all with our 'done' hair in matching bathrobes are cute! I didn't even worry about getting a 'wedding' color.. just found ones I like. It was nice to have something comfy to wear that you didn't have to pull over your head to get off (don't want to ruin) said hair.

The girls also appreciated not needing to purchase a bag/clutch to go with their dresses. I did tell them ahead of time that this was covered, though, so that they knew. I also found the clutches at the GAP outlet and added big flower pins from NY and Co. that matched the color of the dresses.

I packaged their gifts in an LL Bean tote bag (from the Concord outlet store). I picked a different one for each girl, in a color I thought they'd use. They loved that, too!

Lastly, I put in a handwritten card to thank them for their friendship and help!

I got my BMs earrings and necklaces and my MIL (who is a quilter) made them little purses to match their dresses so they could carry them down the aisle on their wrists. I also got them some black bags that I decorated and gave to them to keep their things organized on the day of the wedding. They really did come in handy!

I think I'm going to head up to the Tilton outlets this weekend and look around!

I got them pashminas and cute little sandals to wear for our mani-pedi appointments, (also part of their gift), and then for the reception/after party (when the heels came off!) I got them from www.shoesthatloveyou.com

mariegra- where did you get the pashminas?

mariegra · January 2012

I ordered them from http://www.beltoutlet.com/woclpashasco.html

For under $6 each, you really can't beat the price!

Thank you!! That is an amazing price!
