Bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts

A lot of people recommend you shop for them like you would for their birthday. You don't have to give identical gifts, just gifts that you know they would like. Set a budget of x amount per person that you're comfortable spending and go from there.

View Quoted Comment Very true!

I am currently living in mississippi while my MoH and one bridesmaid both live up in Indiana. I sent them these and a card (friendship story from how we met till now) asking "when the time comes, will you be my MoH/BM?" Third watch is for FSIL who lives down here. The night before the wedding, I'll give them a little box with a necklace and a dual birthstone ring (february and april/june/july), and a purple plaid (maybe white plaid?) shirt for getting ready in.

Meant to attatch this. Sent these. Got them at walmart for $14 each.

I’m giving my ladies ages 18, 17, and 11. This little collection. Plus I’m giving them nail polish, a robe to wear while we get ready. It’s not much but their teenagers!! Oh and they love little stuff like this. I also got them their own bag with their Initial on it and I’ll give them their bag the day we go for a spa day.

THESE ARE AMAZING!

I am going to do totes with their names and put different things in each of them because they're all pretty different. I am going to buy a necklace and bracelet for them to wear the day of but their main gifts will all be different. I am also paying for all of them to get their nails done. I will probably pay for my MOH to get her hair and/or makeup done too cause god knows she's going above and beyond.

I just finished sewing backpack tote bags for my bridesmaids that I'll fill with a getting-ready-flannel, S'well bottle, and something else still TBD. Next up is making dopp kits for the guys. I went a little crazy with the DIY but the way I see it, I'd be crafting something regardless, so if I can make something that's useful for the wedding, it's a win!

I'm still deciding on what else to get them, but so far, I've gotten everyone 8mm pink freshwater pearl earrings! All of my girls love jewelry and pearls so I know they'll love these! I got them from Etsy.

I actually gave mine gifts after every event.

after my bridal shower: bath salts - from my shower to yours and a gift card

after bachelorette: bride tribe t shirt and a hangover kit and a gift card

rehearsal dinner day before wedding: bridesmaid tote bag, compact mirror, face mask, lotion, knot necklace, knot bracelet, hair ties. [the knot jewelry and hair ties say thanks for helping me tie the knot] and some themed socks

for the groomsmen, my husband got them gift cards, alcohol, and a custom swiss army knife

Bridesmaids gifts: blanket scarf, robe, earrings and necklace, and makeup brushes. The robes and jewelry are different to fit each one's style.

Groomsmens gifts: a tankard from AleHorn engraved with the Tree of Gondor from LOTR.

I tried to make things personalized for them. If im spending the money might as well make sure they like it.
I have Maid and matron of honor and 2 Jr. Bridesmaids... not sure ab Jrs yet but for maid and matron:
1. Stemless wine glasses with their monogram on them (Bought the Stemless wine glasses at dollar tree and bought the monogram off of ebay for $1.50)
2. Their favorite bottle brand of wine
3. Robes
4. Burt's Bees Wax Melts
5. A candle
6. Monogrammed Beach towel
7. White Gold Monogrammed necklace
8. And my favorite thing I've got them so far, a "Best Friend" mad libs book. I will fill out one for each of them about things i love hate, think is funny, good, etc about them.

If you want to DIY, how talented are you artwise? You could do painted wineglasses with their names on them or taylored to a special interest of theirs (if you don't feel artsy, then go Etsy). I'm giving each lady a tote bag with their name embroidered, a wine stopper that suits their personality (one girl is a horse owner--she gets a horse wine stopper), and painted wine glasses that suit the wedding theme (it's a nautical theme, so sailboats and beaches etc.)

For the little kids (BM's daughter, future sister in law's son, both under 24 months) I'm getting a little stuffed animal with their name on it. The older kids (SIL's older boys, and my Godchild), I'm getting them favors that are age appropriate--lego surprise bags, coloring kits etc.) I am also planning to get one of those kid kits from Oriental trading to keep them busy during the reception.

The ceremony venue host is getting a personalized decanter.
