Re: unique attendant gifts

My friend's boyfriend has been a groomsman for a bunch of weddings, and his favorite gift is a soft-sided beer cooler that has a part that flips over that turns it into a little tailgating chair. I think theknot.com has it.

As for the ladies, I'm drawing blanks. I'll probably do doj and a monogrammed makeup bag

Re: unique attendant gifts

I've bought my girls the following:

Tote bag
Makeup brush kit w/ case (BM's only)
Lip gloss kit (BM's only)
Bath & Body kit (MOH's only)
Jewelry pouch
Totes Isotoners ballet slippers
Double picture frame with a pic of me with each BM on one side and the other side left blank for a wedding pic
Swarovski necklaces
Swarovski earrings for MOH's and FSIL
Crystal brooch for their dress

I also plan to get them each a Lolita Wine Glass. Oh and they all also have the option to get a free mani/pedi, as my sister (MOH) is a manicurist.

Re: unique attendant gifts

FH is thinking of doing a cooler or something of that sort filled with 5 or 6 different bottles of liquor, 2 monogrammed shot glasses and 2 monogrammed cups. i would personally like the gift cuz well i like alcohol, lol.. so i thought it was a good idea.

For BM's im going Coach Bag/Wristlet and maybe an umbrella (April Showers... lol) their jewelry, makeup bag and compact mirror, and massage gc's !!!

Re: unique attendant gifts

Bridesmaids:
- a cool personalized clutch from etsy
- a set of calling cards
- a pocket mirror
- a piece of statement jewelry (handpicked depending on how they are doing their dress)

Groomsmen:
- a glass beer 'boot' (aka big glass in the shape of a boot, big in Germany)
- a personalized boutique beer, in a large size (like almost the size of a wine bottle)

Re: unique attendant gifts

I think for my bridesmaids I'm going to get necklaces to match the dresses, ballet slippers (so they can switch of of heels for dancing) and a spa gift certificate probably for around a 100.

I'm not sure about my maid of honor... I want to get her something really nice, she's been my bf for so long and is helping me so much. Any MOH ideas

Where are you getting a personalized boutique beer? Our groomsmen are beer drinkers (FH is not) so I'm trying to come up with ideas of gifts and he's no help!
