Bridal party gifts?

As I've said before, our wedding is quite traditional in some respects, and not so much in others. I personally wasn't planning on getting gifts for my bridal party...I never knew it was really a big deal. But today the FH said we should. Now I'm really at a loss. I mean the second he said that, I knew exactly what I was going to get for my BFFE. I'd say what it is, but she's also on here helping me plan stuff. Hehe. Thing is...I have NO IDEA what to get for my MOH, which is my FH's sister. I want to do something nice that she'll appreciate, but reflecting on her past birthdays and Christmas that I've spent with her, no gift I have ever seen her get was really super personal. It's like all the women in Stephen's side of the family give each other nothing but bakeware. Not good enough. I know she likes...well...beer. Hehe. Not gonna happen either. Any good ideas on something personal and sweet? Also am I supposed to get everyone the same thing or is it okay to pick different things?

By the way, if it isn't rude to get different gifts for each person, I WILL plan on spending about the same amount on each gift. Not like I'm gonna spend $200 on one person and $20 on another. So um...yeah. Lol.

I have heard you can pick different gifts, but traditionally its all the same gifts. I am planning on doing jewerly that they can wear to the wedding. But some different ideas that I have saw are picture frames, jewerly boxes, tote bags and many other things. So I say do anything you want.

im putting a gift basket together for my two bridesmaids! some here there things that i keep finding :) They are inexpensive small gifts. I spray painted one white, the other black. the black one has pink and zebra print ribbon. the other has red and cheetah print ribbon. Its like my personal way of saying thank you! They each have different things in them, but all together its not more than $30 on each.

I am making personalized scrapbooks for my 3 girls, I have known them all quite a while and so I think that it will mean a lot to them not only because it is full of memories together but it is personalized

Congratulations on your upcoming weddings. I personally like to see a piece of jewelry given to each of the bridal party to wear in the ceremony and something they can wear again. Additionally, perhaps you can give a more personalized gift to each person. For example, if you have a BM that loves wine, maybe a gift certificate for a tasting at a local winery. Keep it personal and make sure it comes from the heart and you'll never go wrong. Best, Heather

Carmen, I'm right there with you! We weren't doing bridal party gifts either until the FH said that we should. I can come up with endless ideas for my bridesmaids and MOHs (I'm having 2), but I'm clueless on what we should get for the BM's and groomsmen! But since you want your gift to be personal for MOH, think back to a time when you guys shared a special moment and get her something that either reflects that moment or that memorable place. It may be a gift basket filled with small goodies and bath and body works with a simple ornament or figurine from that place, but it will definitely mean something to her.
