Help with Bridesmaid Gifts please!


Recommended Posts

I'm doing bags for the ladies. I'm not giving out OOT bags to my guests. We're making a donation to a local school in the DR on everyone's behalf instead. But for my two maids and the Mom's I wanted to acknowledge them more so I've giving them super OOT bags, kinda like you described above - monogrammed beach bag in my wedding colours, a sarong, flip flops, sandal shaped luggage tags, first-aid/oh sh*t kit, some BBW lotion, nail polish and file, a magazine, stainless steel mug, and a tank tops with either MOH,bridesmaid,MOG, MOB, etc. Each bag works out to about $125 each so I figure that's definitely enough....PLUS, I paid for their dresses (they're on their onw for shoes and accessories)! And if I bought them each one big gift instead, I think I'd have a hard time finding one thing that all of them would like and use again. But remember...they're your friends so they'll be pleased either way :)

I am torn! I like the big bag thing, or the big gift option. I am giving my MOH a different OOT bag filled with goodies, and then I was thinking either an excursion for her to enjoy on the trip or diamond earrings to go with her dress.......hmmmmmmm

I did beach bags, with gold haviana flop flops, I was going to just fill beach bag with useful things for vacation and getting ready for wedding, magazine, tissue, lip glass, maybe an emergency kit. I wanted to contribute to their hair so everyone would get there hair done for our pictures....but it's so expensive and I don't want to put pressure in them to spend that kind of money if they can't afford to....

 

I'm doing personalized bath robes plus a bikini wet bag that I'm personalizing and adding in extra goodies including a "couples" kit ;) plus a regular oot bag!

What is a couples kit?

I saw it on one of the big planning threads (I cannot for the LIFE of me remember her name, unfortunately, nor find the post).  She was in the Healthcare industry, I remember, because she made a joke about safety being important and her staff throwing her a surprise shower.  If that jogs anyone's memory :)

 

They are going to be little kits that have a couple condoms, lube, etc in there, for the couple.  I'm only doing this for the bridesmaids, since they are all bringing their husbands/serious boyfriend.  I may do it for the groomsman, but probably not as none are married/2 aren't bringing dates (if my FI would get on the ball and ASK them).  Plus my little brother (who will be like 23 lol) has a very religious girlfriend.  And while I am pretty sure they are, since they live together/will be staying in the same room, I'm not sure I want to go there HA!
