Re: BP gifts?

I was thinking Spa gift certificates. I haven't really put much thought into this yet.

Is it true that you have to get the BP jewelry to wear on your wedding day? I kind of want to get a gift rather than jewelry but not sure of what.

I find it selfish when the bride buys DOJ for the BM. A feel a gift should be something given as a thank you gesture, not saying this is what I want you to wear so you look how I want you to look. I now I sound rude when I say this but I have been in 6 bridal parties and everytime they give me DOJ, it never gets warn again, just like the dress they say you can wear again. If you are going to do DOJ, do something like a tiffany necklace or make it an added extra to a gift. JMO

I think the coach wristlets and watches are a great idea because they go beyond YOUR wedding day which makes it a gift. Sorry for sounding so rude.

I don't agree with DOJ being selfish at all, I bought my girls necklaces and earrings that they can wear after my wedding too, and I even bought myself one because I liked it so much.

Re: BP gifts?

I'm getting the girls each beach bags filled with beachy stuff (bathing suit covers, flip flop, etc...) Also necklaces from Tiffany's, but they don't have to wear them the day of the wedding. They're just really pretty.

the only problem is that everything i buy them I love, so I buy it for myself also!!! LOL

What do you all include in the survival kit?

Re: BP gifts?

I am curious to know what would be included in the survival kit as well.

I haven't decided what I am going to give the bridal party. Tote bags filled with goodies such as bath soaps and lotions crossed my mind. I love the idea of slippers. I will likely get them DOJ. I thought about cufflinks for the men. For my flower girl I was thinking of getting her a trinket box from Things Remembered with her initials engraved.

I love giving gifts though so I need to stick to a plan to make sure I don't get them every idea that crosses my mind.

I guess if the DOJ only matches the dress they're wearing then it can be seen as selfish. I want to get my bp DOJ that can also be worn again, like something nice from Tiffany or somewhere else that has good quality jewelry. I'm not really into the costume jewelry look so Iwouldnt get it for them. I also wouldnt demand they wear it but if they did I'd be happy.

Re: BP gifts?

pearl necklace & earrings for the girls
either watches or these really cool tailgate coolers for the guys
