Hi everyone,
I am having a hard time deciding what to do for wedding party gifts. We are on a TIGHT budget, so I am attempting to come up with nice ideas that won't break the budget.
For my maids I was thinking about getting each a pearl pendant and matching pearl stud earrings. I can get the sets for under $40 each...does that sound like a good idea? (I would not require them to wear these for the ceremony).
My fiance keeps coming up with really costly ideas for his groomsmen (like nice bottles of scotch whiskey, new watches etc), and I am not sure how to get him to come up with more realistic ideas. I would love to get our party members such nice gifts, but we legitimately do not have the money! The wedding is small and as simple as possible so I know our party members will understand getting slightly smaller/simpler gifts than we would really like to give.
Anyone have ideas of things I could suggest for the groomsmen? Or other ideas for the maids?

But yes, my one BM geo-caches, and she was very excited to get them.
A lot of this sounds sweet, but please at least make sure the nail kits are high quality, otherwise you're just junking up their houses. I never use the beauty or makeup items I get in bridesmaid totes. I'd also skip the mason jar because I don't understand how it fits in.
Also, robes are not the greatest idea. A lot of people aren't comfortable with them, or being photographed in them (If you're stuck on the idea, the shirts work out better and are less awkward).
I personally don't care for light weight silk robes, I don't use them, and I'd never be photographed in one.

My one BM lived with me in NYC for a number of years and I found a cool shelf on fab.com that looks like a fire escape.
My sister is a HUGE Harry Potter fan- I got her a cool, handmade mirror that looks like the Deathly Hallows symbol. So HP-esq, but classy and pretty.
For my SIL, I got a really cool custom made cooler. It is wood, with the Colorado flag painted on it. They love Colorado, beer, and entertaining- so it seemed perfect for her.
I am actually really excited to give them their gifts because I have gotten so many generic BM gifts over the years and these really suit them.
Also, I hate pearls.
