    I have 8 bridesmaids


    They all got

    1. Champagne flute with their name on it

    2. Pair of drop rose gold earrings

    3. Gift card to a winery

    4. Bottle of Champagne

    5. Robe with their monogram on it

    6. Beach bad with the first letter of their name for the bachelorette

    7. Tumblr in their favorite color


    So overall, probably about $150-160 per girl

    I have 4 sisters so 6 adults in my Bridal Party (though one sister is our Herald instead of Brideslady because she much prefers playing her trumpet to the girly bm responsibilities). Their proposal boxes were about $18 each - little pamper kits with some bath stuff, manicure stuff, lip balm and body butter, and teas, hot chocolates, and a mug I made them. Pretty much everything was bought in bulk packages (individually wrapped inside) and I broke up one package for all of them. I also have my oldest nephew as an usher (he will be 13 on the day) and his little sister (will be 8) and brother (will be 3) will be our flower girl and ring bearer. I gave the oldest a Red Sox cap with for his ask present, made my niece a necklace with a flower on it for hers and made a bib that says "Ring Security" on it for the baby's ask.

    I plan on spending around $80 each for the adults presents that day. My plan is all winter stuff because winter wedding so: flannel shirts in their favorite colors with their initial monogrammed, a Pashmina (cause we are all scarf lovers), a pair of nice gloves (the town we grew up in is known for its gloves - even the Queen's are made there), and something that speaks to our individual relationship. The 13 year old will get something tech related most likely; the baby will get a book (cause I'm a teacher and so is my sister so reading is super important) and a toy of some kind - bought right before cause his interests change daily; and my niece loves dressing up fancy so probably another piece of jewelry that can grow with her (chain extensions) and a toy of interest.

    1) I have 1 MOH, 4 bridesmaids, and 1 bridesman.
    2) I spent about $25 on each, but $50 on MOH.
    3) I bought each a personalized gift based on their interests/likes, as well as a bottle of mead from a winery in the town the wedding is in.

    I spend $25 on each of them and bought them engraved sterling silver bar necklaces from Etsy

    I bought my MOH a extra little gift that I'm going to give her in private before the big day Smiley smile

    1. 1 maid of honor and 1 bridesmaid

    2. For the actual gift so far I've only put in about $25 each. They are also getting hangers and robes and hair and makeup done but I know those aren't actual gifts.

    3. Maid of honor - a succulent planter container that looks like the yellow part of a pineapple. She's into all the succulent type plants and currently pineapples and when one starts growing in it it will end up looking kind of like a pineapple. Will then be getting some kind of bottle of her favorite alcohol. And then maybe some smaller items like spa/bath pampering kind of things.

    Bridesmaid - a rtic cup that has an apple sticker on it with Mrs. Last name since she is a school teacher and is always carrying a cup around with her. Was going to get a bottle of alcohol or wine as well, but she will be about 6 months pregnant at the wedding and will be awhile before she would get any use of it. So not completely sure what else to get her but will also have some spa/bath pampering stuff.

    It will probably end up being about $50 each by the time I get done with it all. This doesn't include my costs of the robes, hanger, and hair and makeup.

    1. 3 bridesmaids - 1 bridesman - 1 Maid of Honor
    2. About $10
    3. I got succulents and planted them in small terracota pots. I am either going to have a little sign poking out that says ‘be my bridesmaid?’ Or I am going to stamp lettering onto the pot says ‘Name, will you be my bridesmaid?’
