    FI is getting his groomsmen pocket watches, and I am starting my BM's Pandora bracelets.

    Shop as if it's their birthday or Christmas...  For mine, one collects Peanuts figurines from Hallmark so I got her the most expensive one. Another I stalked her Pinterest page and purchased two necklaces she had pinned from Etsy. Another I think I'm doing a winery gift certificate and my MOH I'm up in the air on.

    My fiancé is having a hard time grasping this whole "you don't need to get them the same thing" crap...hopefully he comes around.

    We got everyone books specific to their interests. A knitting book for MOH, a book of poetry for another bridesmaid, a play for another, a sci-fi novel for one groomsman, etc.

    I'm doing engraved watches of their choosing with our date. 

    I only have 2 BM's, and both are obsessed with watches, which is perfect.

    Why the fluck would they want a watch with YOUR wedding date on it? Why not just put "To BM, Love Allie".

    No one wants anything with your wedding date on it.

    I got my girls bracelets and then I am planning on adding something personal for each of them.  My FMIL showed these awesome candle holders last night that have a photo frame in them so I am thinking of including those too. I know all my girls would love it. 

    My FI has no idea yet.

    I got my girls Kate Spade wallets in different colors and patterns to match their personalities, with a $15.00 Starbucks gift card tucked inside. My FI is giving his guys Swiss Army travel bags with Kiehls shaving products inside.

    I love my pandora bracelet! I got one as a gift and got both my BM's one when I asked them to be in the wedding. They love them and wear them all of the time. Both of them have even purchased a charm or two each since!

    They will each be getting a charm again as a gift and GM are getting ties and a gift card to a favorite place.

    I love my Pandora too. All of my close friends have one so I won't get buying them for them but I would've loved to have it as a gift. I got it from FI. He gets me a new charm at different milestones. I even have a Kermit

    You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.

    Please don't get your bridesmaids all the same gift. It is so not thoughtful. Plus, who wants the exact same gift of 4 other girls? I definitely wouldn't.

    All of my girls had very different personalities, so I got them each individual gifts that suit their tastes.

    MOH (The Traveler): New carry on Samsonite Suitcase
    BM#1 (The Photographer): The new Polaroid Camera with lots of film
    BM#2 (The Girly Girl): 2 pairs of Kate Spade earrings
    BM#3 (The Sports lover): A Baltimore Ravens rug and desk set for her office and a pair of shorts
    BM#4 (The Fashionista): A Michael Kors Wristlet

    I am getting my 3 bridesmaids gift cards to the Metropolitan Opera in an amount enough that she can choose 1 really nice ticket or 2 mid-tier seats or more tickets but cheaper seats. I know some people here don't like the idea of the same gift for everyone but I know my girls and they all love the opera but can't often justify the splurge.

    Agree with most PPs regarding Pandora bracelets. I'm 31, and I'd love a charm bracelet! Again, you've got to know your BMs. As long as you think they'd like having it, then it's a good gift.

    I also agree with avoiding anything personalized for your wedding. Avoid giving anything with your names, your monogram, your wedding date, or their role. Twenty years from now, they're not going to care that they were a groomsman on December 21, 2013.

    I haven't settled on wedding party gifts yet. One friend I'm pretty sure will be getting a nice bottle of wine. Another friend we're thinking of giving a membership to the Bacon of the Month club. Another might get a DVD box set or video games. We're looking for things that will appeal to them personally and that they'll truly appreciate having.
