I got my bridesmaids a bracelet and earrings to wear for the wedding. I was wondering if that is a good enough present for them or if I should get them something else?

    Get them something else in addition to this. It's not a gift if you're requiring them to wear it.

    That isn't a present to them - it's a present to you since it is to be used for your wedding. Please get them something else. Shop for them individually like you would for their birthdays or Christmas and the gifts do not have to be the same for each.

    Take your wedding out of the equation and get them something you would get them if it were their birthday or Christmas. In fact, I would take the jewelry back and just let them wear whatever jewelry they want. They do not need matchy matchy jewelry that they might not wear again, and you could put that money toward a better gift for 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

    I showed one of my maids of honor the earrings and bracelet and she said she would def wear them again. One of my friends gave everyone a necklace with a charm of their favorite book on it. I thought that was neet. Does anyone have any suggestions what else I can get them to add to the jewelry as a gift?

    Since each of my girls have a pandora bracelet - I am leaning towards picking out a special charm for them.  NOT wedding related, just something special that I think they would like.  I am getting them the jewely but not giving that as a gift, just part of the wedding apparel that they will be wearing.

    <div>I really love this idea.  I would've loved to do this for my bridesmaids!  I ended up getting mine cute tote bags from Land's End in their favorite color with their monogram.  They loved them!</div>

    I am actually debating the same thing! I got my girls each a bracelet that matches their dresses .. And I'm trying to decide what else to get them ... My thoughts are A. Coach wristlets which I use mine all the time!! B. a Diamond Candle if you don't know what they are look them up they are pretty cool! I have 8 maids so I know it's going to be expensive but I'm okay with that they are worth it! Other option is maybe think about each girl and get them the one they would most want I would be upset if I picked the wrong gift
