What are your thoughts on personalized wire hangers?

Over it.

I was going to do them, then I got wooden hangers and just painted their names and title on them.

Too much work and money for something they'll use once, for good pictures, then hide away in their closet.

When I first got engaged I saw these and decided I HAD to have them lol. So I made them. I figure if nothing else, they can use the hanger afterwards for whatever because it's a nice wooden one. I thought about making mine to say "Bride" rather than my name so I can PIF to another girl later on but since I made the others to say their names, it might look funny. For me it's an all or nothing type thing - unless you don't think the other girls will care.

I think they're a nice touch and they still have a use unlike other personalized things!

ETA: They were pretty easy to make and I'd love to make them for other people who wanted them if it weren't for having to ship them. Not sure it's worth the cost.

I think it would be strange to buy your MOH one and not for the other girls. If you want to get her an "extra" gift I think you should do so privately, unless she has REALLY gone overboard to help you (and the rest of your bridal party knows that).

I originally planned on getting hangers for myself & my sisters (2 of them), because I also thought they were adorable, and my young sisters would like them (they're 21 and 17). The more I thought about it, though, the more I figured that the $25 I would spend on each hanger would be better off going to a gift they would end up reusing again, rather than a hanger.

So ultimately I ordered one for myself, and bought my sisters pashminas with their initials in a neutral color (silver), which I think they will get much more use out of

To answer your question, if you don't think the other girls would want one, then I don't think it would be weird just to get her one.

Not as a bm gift. If I got it, I wouldn't think much of it.

For me as the bride, it's cute for photo ops and I only spent $3 on mine. If it was more, I wouldn't have bothered.

I saw a deal on etsy where it was buy 1 get 3 free and its was like 10$ for one or something like that, that was last week though so I'm not sure, maybe search the forums by typing in etsy.

It's a thoughtful idea, but completely unnecessary and a frivolous expense.

I bought my MOH a personalized hanger - she loves it!

I feel like they're kind of a waste of money personally. As a bridesmaid I'd rather receive something useful or have the extra money spent towards helping covering the cost of being in the wedding (shoes, hair, accessories, etc.). I plan to write a nice, personalized card to each of my girls and am paying for their dresses and earrings instead of gifts.

I like the idea of painting their names on a wooden hanger- they're still special but simple enough for everyday use in the closet. The only wire ones we got were for ourselves cause I really wanted one for my dress haha

I think the personalized hangers are very cute, but for the most part they seem like photo props to me. The wedding photos with the bride's and her maids' dresses all hanging on personalized hangers seems to be a fairly popular shot - and it is a cute one. I don't think the average person would be all that thrilled to receive a personalized hanger. They would appreciate the thought, but once the wedding is over it would go into the closet with all of the plain hangers. The one exception might be someone who is thrilled with her role in the wedding and happy to have a keepsake to remind her of it, ie. your maid of honor. If you think she would appreciate it, get her one. Her position dictates that her gift can be different from whatever you are giving to the other girls in your wedding party.

I used a paint pen on mine (ours) and called it a day. It is part of the gift, but a very small part because it will look cute for pictures.

I did buy customized wire hangers for myself and all of my BM's (4) and the FG's (2). If I could go back, I'd just get a hanger for myself. Like everyone else said, they'll be used in 1-2 pictures, and that's it.

I do suggest NOT to give a personalized wine glass. I've been in several weddings, and I only have one personalized one wine glass and I can't imagine having another one. I like to get personalized items! I've received bracelets and cosmetic bag with my name, tank top with "bridesmaid" on it. I really enjoy getting the personalized stuff because they are things I can use over and over again.

I made my personalized wire hangers a few weeks ago. I did their names. They can always use a hanger. I made myself one too with "Mrs. 'future last name'". I think they will be great! They can hang their bridesmaid dress on it. I think they'll love it!

I received a hanger as a gift/way I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding. I think they are cute but probably will not do one. I'm looking for a vintage looking hanger for my dress for pictures without a name on it.

I actually just bought all my girls Kate Spade black bow wristlets from the 65% bridal sale. They are pretty and the girls will be able to use them again and again. I also am getting my MOH of special necklace or bracelet.

Thanks everyone for your input!

I've already gotten them a few other gifts, so this would just be another thing to add to the basket, but I do think it's probably unecessary. I could get them each a bottle of wine or some chocolates for the same price, and they'd probably enjoy it more.

Another money suck.

Huge huge huge waste of money. I don't even like them for brides. As a bridesmaid, I'd prefer a gift that was more about me and less about the wedding. Like, gift certificate to a spa or my favorite clothing store, or a delicious bottle of wine, something like that.

I'm just going to get one for myself with the date on it, that's it.

I think they're a complete waste of money.

That being said, I also think they're totally adorable and make for cute photos. I just don't like the idea of giving one as a gift (but one with a name on it would be better than "bridesmaid" in my opinion.)
