Bridesmaids Gifts? - What did you (or what do you plan to) give to your Bridesmaids?

My sister was my only attendant, other than my FG. I got her a bracelet from Things Remembered that had lots of little dangly hearts, and one larger one on which I had her 1st initial engraved. It came in a pretty silver box that was engraveable as well. It wasn't the jewelry for her to wear in the wedding--it was just for her. Lots of brides do give their BMs their jewelry for the wedding as their gift, though.

My bridal party is my sister-in-law (MOH) and our nieces (FG's). Since it is a small party, and my sister in law at that, I was able to get my MOH a pair of nice earrings to match a bracelet/necklace set she has. Our FG's we got heart shaped lockets from Things Remembered with their first initial engraved on the front.

A cute gift I got once was a wedding day survival bag from my friend. We got these adorable bags with our names embroidered and it was full of all sorts of things we would use throughout her wedding.

I am going to get them their jewelry and make them personalized dress hangers. Check out etsy.com for some other great bridemaid gift ideas. They also have awesome groomsmen gifts.

Well since I waited until the last minute and ran out of $$..ultimately I made my BM's and MOH hangers, personalized tanks and i'll be framing a pic of me with each of them with a note attached.

We have 5 girls and we are giving them overnight totes, bridesmaid wine glasses, a bottle of wine, my 4 bridesmaids are getting a philosophy gift set and my moh is getting a jo malone one I am also gifting them paying for their make up, personalized hangers, and robes to get ready in

We gave both our maid of honor and our dude of honor Swiss army knives. Not very traditional, but both of them were thrilled.

Well according to my mum i went overboard BUT i dont think so, i had the money to spend so i did. i got them each a us army/acu top purse and i got them their favorite B&BW when they were on special for the buy 3 get 3 free and i had a 30% off w/ free shipping when buying offline so i got the stuff super cheap! which i am going to put inside their purse these pictures arent mine, but to show what i am talking about

So far pearl bracelets, but it's quickly becoming apparent that this is not enough. They have been so generous with time and gifts I need to find more to give them, I feel guilty.

We're getting the shoes for all our BP members (Converses), and I also got my girls these tote bags (3 girls and one for me!), Scrabble Tile pendants from Etsy with an image that fits them and on their initial, and I made them fabric flip flops (we're in FL, so they'll get worn.) I'm trying to think of something else for them, though.

Etsy is a great place, just check the individual vendors to make sure they're good!

My girls are my cousin (MOH) sister and BFF (Bridesmaid) I bought them their jewelry (earnings, necklace and bracelet) from JC Penny. bridal Clutches and their favorite B&BW.

I have 4 girls; my sister, and three of my closest friends. I decided to get each of them Coach clutches and found them for $40 each ($120 originally) at the Coach Outlet nearby. They're silver so they can carry them to the wedding if they like (their shoes are silver) and the bags are leather and should last them forever to carry to nice evenings out, other weddings, etc.

I'll also be making them a few other things.

1) "Bridesbabe" rhinestone t-shirts to wear to the nail and hair salons on the morning of the wedding.

2) Personalized hangers for their dresses

3) Flip flips to wear at the reception

4) Pearl and crystal jewelry sets to wear on the day of.

I pack it all up in a reusable shopping/tote bag and give it to them at the rehearsal dinner. (I only have pics of the clutches so far, as I don't have any of the DIY projects finished yet.) I'm also paying for their mani/pedi's on the day of.

I bought their jewelry for the big day, made a bridesmaid survival kit with bag, homemade candles, shower gel and lotion from Bath and Body Works, and stationary. I also got to champagne flutes from Tiffanys for my MOH.

Oh and shirts, I used a groupon for the shirts and bags through vistaprint and got the note cards through their free items.

I am planning on:

- jewelry for wedding day w/ their birthstone

- flips for reception

- beach bags

- makeup on wedding day

- tshirts / tanks for getting hair did

- thank you cards for each of them

I spread my gifts for my girls out, so after my shower I gave them initial necklaces. At my beach weekend bachelorette I gave them monogrammed beach totes with beach towels, reusable water bottles, a makeup bag with mini shower gel, lotion, lip gloss, loofah, hair clip and pedicure set, a nail polish trio set, and puzzle books and magazines for each of their interests inside.

For the wedding they'll receive robes from plum pretty sugar, and maaaaybe dress hangers, not sure about that one yet since we've already spent a lot, but I think it's a nice touch!!

So i have gotten the girls the coach purses and plan on getting their jewelry as soon as we get the dress nailed down for them lol

the purses will have the little emergency kit stuff in them and i have been debating on doing the dress hangers

We just shopped for each of our WP members as if it was a very special birthday. So one girl got a necklace with her children's initials, one girl got a nice robe, etc. They were big hits, and I love that people use the gifts all the time, it makes me happy like Santa.

On top of that I made little "day-of" kits for the girls - an initialed handkerchief, a travel-sized perfume, lip gloss, travel-sized hand lotion, and inexpensive pashminas I got from Charming Charlie's. The kits ended up being about $30 each maybe? I shopped at outlets and looked for online sales at Bath & Body works, so the lip glosses came out to about $3 each, the body lotion was like .75, the perfume was on clearance at Banana Republic and cost around $8, the pashmina was $7 and the hanky was around $11 (I think).
