Bridesmaid Gifts

[Celina]

Since I paid for my MOH and BM's dresses and shoes, their bags will have regular OOT stuff, with the exception of a BM or MOH tank, manicure set, a magazine (each one will be different so we can all share), a pashmina, shout wipes and whatever other cute things I find. I have 1 MOH and 2 BM's so it's not a lot to buy for.

 

At our rehersal dinner I am going to give them their jewlery which will be starfish necklaces with a nice card I'll have my MOH read our loud.

 

I'm also going to give my MOH a hankie with our wedding date embroidered on it.

cmmdee - team bride tees sound so cute. i love that idea.

 

celina - that's cool your buying their dresses. i haven't decided if i'm doing that i only have a moh and 1 bm so i probably will do it or pay half of it.

 

does it look stupid or cheap to pay for half of their dress?

I am getting them a gift certificate to the spa on the hotel so they can get beuty treatments for the wedding or save it for a nice massage for later. I also plan to make them nice tote bags with stuff inside.

Absolutely not! I think they will appreciate anything! I'm a BM in a DW this fall in Belize and the bride bought our dresses which has helped me out. Even though the dress was only $110, that's now money I can use towards her shower, bachlorette, gift, ..... or whatever.

These are all fantastic ideas! Thank you so much...I think I have a good starting point now!

I am still working on what I'm going to get them. So far I have gotten them fuschia cover ups to wear when we are all getting ready and the to enjoy for the rest of their trip. If budget allows I would like to get them a nicer tote bag with their name embroidered. Then who knows what else I'll find...

Have you got these yet? Do you have a picture of it in person / on someone? I really want to do starfish necklaces for the girls - but can't find one I like. TIA!

Yea I have them just not the necklace to put them on.. They're so nice especially when the sun hits them.. there's so many colors.. I'll try to see if I have a chain I can put it on and take a pic

I wanted to get my girls a jewelry set that matched their dresses, which are blue. I found these on Avon.com and loved them:

 

Necklace: AVON- Products

 

Earings: AVON- Products

 

They're super cute, and are a good size ( I was worried they would be tiny). I also got them little blue photo albums and getting them white tanktops that say "bridesmaid" or "maid of honor."
