How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I was thinking of getting these silver necklaces from tiffany for $100-150 each. And some crystal earrings. Am I spending too much?

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I like the first one...

No I don't think thats too much to spend. It depends on what you have.

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I probably plan on spending that much, but I haven't real thought about what I would get yet.

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I would say about the same $100-$150. I was thinking of getting all the girls a necklace to wear on the wedding day and I also was thinking about getting coach wristlets for the BMs or engraved jewerly boxes and put the necklaces in them. I wanted to get the MOHs a little something extra too, maybe a GC to somewhere or to the spa or pay for the hair and makeup the day of.

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I would say Im probably spending the same-but jewelry is not what my girls will want-they all have enough! i will get them stuff to wear for the wedding itself-but will get each of them their own 'gift' since they all will like something different.
My MOH-who is also my sister, i will probably get her a nice piece of jewelry.

My bigger problem is the GM-I have no idea what we are going to get them and FH is no help!

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

Depends on how many BM's you have. This is all going to depends, but I was thinking of iPod shuffles or Nintendo DS for the guys (we have a small BP) and I don't know what for the girls

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I'm sure I'll end up spending around the same, $100-$150, depending on what I pick out for them. I haven't even started to think of ideas. Maybe jewelry or a small bag.. something like that. I figure I'll let FH pick out whatever he wants for the GM.

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

I am thinking around the $150 range. I think i am going to get a necklace for each of them to wear at the wedding, but I don't know what else yet.
I would actually like to figure out what to get them so I can maybe buy some stuff now...I know it is early, but it is going to be so expensive so I would like to start getting some expenses out of the way!

That's true! Buy some things now before we have to pay the vendors. ...but look during the holidays, they have great sales on jewerly around then.

Re: How much $ are you guys spending for your BM's gifts

Best Man and MOH - $250+
GMs and BMs - $150
RB and FG - $50-$75

I started on their gifts early, I just received the girls canvas beach bags and whatever gifts I'm positive on, I'll start buying them slowly so I don't get hit hard at the end when I need to buy all this stuff! (I have 1 BM and MOH, 5 GMs and 5 BMs and 1 RB and 1 FG. I'm also getting gifts for others in the family that are not in the BP ).
