Hi all,
I know this has been discussed a lot, but I could find a thread to help me figure out my particular dilemma.
I decided I wanted to pay for either hair or make up for each of my bridesmaids and that way if they wanted both, they'd only need to pay for one service. It will be around $100 plus tip to do that. I'm not expecting them to do so and it's likely my future sister-in-law won't be having either done.
Recently I got really excited when I found this cute stemless wine glasses that are etched with the city skyline. We are getting married at a place with a skyline view, so I thought it was a cute way to create a memory of the wedding and thank them for being a part of it. They came in sets of 2 for $40 each. I figured each girl only needed 1 since I am also going to be paying for hair or make up. I am planning to fill the glass with something fun like food or gift it with a bottle of wine, in other words, I wouldn't only gifting them the $20 glass plus hair or make up, I'd probably include a few other goodies.
My mom suggested giving each girl the set of 2. I'm also gifting them to my mom and future Mother in Law along with some other small gift. For some reason, the extra $20 feels like a lot. I wouldn't even think about gifting them two if they weren't sold as a set off on Esty, but my mom's comment has sent me on a tailspin!
Am I being stingy by not wanting to gift them two glasses in addition to hair or make up, especially when the only reason I am considering 2 in the first place is because they are sold as a set?
Does anyone know the average/expected price for bridesmaids gifts?
Thank you in advance!
