help Please: Ideas needed for a sentimental maid & matron of honor gift

Jessica, on May 3, 2019 at 1:22 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
So, I'm only having 4 bridesmaids: 1 maid of honor, 1 matron of honor and my fiances 2 daughters are my Jr bridesmaids.

My matron of honor has been my best friend since I was 13. My maid of Honor has been my other best friend for about 10 years and is my sons God Mother. They are both absolutely amazing and have been awesome throughout my wedding planning (and the rest of my life).

I'm very close to both of them and their families, and I would LOVE to find something really nice, a sentimental gift that they will actually use and like. So far the only thing I've found is the necklaces pictured below. But I just don't know. What do y'all think?

What would you like or have you received from your best friend on her wedding day?

Or any other sentimental suggestions would be nice.

I am already getting them some other little things but really wanted to get them something kinda big and special. (The pictured necklaces are white gold). This is one area I am willing to break my budget for (my job allows me to make more when I want to).

Also, I have a great relationship with both of my fiances daughters and I would like any suggestions on something that they can keep forever and know that I care. They are 7 and 12.

    To me a necklace with my name or monogram isn’t sentimental but I don’t know your friends and what they like. To me a sentimental gift would be a picture, maybe one of those books where you fill in everything you appreciate about the other person, or a piece of jewelry with the coordinates of where you met that person?

    I think it depends on what they like. I love monograms so I would personally love if I got the monogram necklace. I had one just like that in college and wore it almost every day. If they are the type of people who like that style, I would go with those over the other styles you posted.

    I feel like it's not my place to judge what you have determined is sentimental and I think that buying them a gold necklace is a incredibly thoughtful gesture. I really like the monogram one, I think it is cute and personal!

    Thank you! I don't think it's super sentimental but I thought every time they were it they would be reminded of our friendship and good memories. I honestly couldn't think of anything truly sentimental that they would actually use.

    Thank you!! One of them bought me one for Christmas a few years ago and every time I wear it I think of her and how grateful I am to have her as a friend.

    It can be hard to find something sentimental that they would actually be able to use! I think a picture is a nice idea as well, however I know that I would much prefer something I could wear such as the necklace! If you wanted to include something maybe along the lines of a picture, you could always have a picture of you and each person individually taken the day of the wedding and then frame that for them!
