We got the guys engraved pocket watches and the maid and matron of hoonr engraved jewlry boxes. We got the 'helpers' an engraved key chain, and Im having a brain fart....i dont remember what we got his sister and niece who are the bridemaids! To cold and early for my brain to be thinking! Your idea is very nice!

I think we're going to give all of the guys nice watches and then possibly insted of a regular watch give our best man a pocket watch. Then we're giving them each something small that we think they would like- so it's personal. Not sure about the girls yet but I like the compact idea!

Re: Pocket watches for guys and Compacts for girls in the wedding party.

My FI and I were in a wedding in 02 and they gave pocket watches to the guys. It looked really cool with the chain on the vests. They all took pictures looking at the watches. We made them stay like that for 5 minutes before they realized that the pictures were done! My FI was really excited about getting a pocketwatch and said that it was a really classy gift. He also said he wished he thought of it first

I am thinking about the monogrammed compacts for the girls. Red Envelope had nice ones.
