What is the best gift you ever received as a bridesmaid? Or groomsman?
I'm starting to think about gifts for both so that we can slowly start to buy stuff and not spend so much money all in one shot!

My FH got a horseshoe set when he was in his sister's wedding. All of the guys loved it. He is doing something similar by giving 2 of the guys bocce balls.

Re: What is the best gift you ever received as a bridesmaid? Or groomsman?
I am going to go out on a limb... and say that I was a best man. And being the best man to my friend that I have known for twenty five years... was a gift in itself that no material thing could compare to.

Re: What is the best gift you ever received as a bridesmaid? Or groomsman?
I have been in many weddings here are some of the gifts I have received: lenox vase, nambe' vase, jewlery to match attire, Vera Bradley tote bag with monogram, Coach wristlet, jewlery box, frame, etc. All were nice. My fiance' has received a Movado pen and swiss army knife thing (both of which he never used). He did get a set of pilsner glasses that had his initial on it, a flask, golf balls, humador - all of these he liked.
Hope this helps.

Re: What is the best gift you ever received as a bridesmaid? Or groomsman?
As a BM, the best gift I got was that the bride paid for my hair and make-up. After all the other expenses...I was relived that I didn't have to come up with this one. I have been in many weddings and have gotten jewlery, picture frames, pocketbooks, jewlery boxes, etc....but the gift of hair and make-up is the one I liked best

i am paying for half ( 150-each, but i only have two girls in my BP)of teh girls dresses. i just thought being there was only two they had a lotr of expenses so why not pay for their dresses and help them out.

Re: What is the best gift you ever received as a bridesmaid? Or groomsman?
The best gift BM gift I recieved was an invitation to a party with the bride and groom, bridal party and their boyfriends or girlfriends. We met about a month and a half after the wedding at the bride and groom's house. We had an awesome dinner, then got in a limo and went to a comedy club, then out for the night -- all on the bride and groom. It was great to see everyone again and to see all the pictures from the wedding.
