Re: How much did you spend on gifts for your bridal party?

For my MH I spent more (around $350). I bought her a Tiffanys bracelet, had her hair and make-up done, and gave her the same gifts as the BM. She is like a sister to me, and since I'm an only child, I went a little over board!

For the BM's I spent about $175. I gave them all pearl earings and paid for them to have their hair done.

For the GM my husband spent around $100. He gave them all pens from Tiffanys. In addition for his BM, he bought him 2 custom shirts (about
$ 250).

Our BP really did so much for us, and they all are such a big part of the day and our lives, that we both gave as much as we could.

Guys were about $50 each

Re: How much did you spend on gifts for your bridal party?

So far, I've only bought my BMs their gifts (haven't purchased MOH's gift or any of the groomsman), and we spent slightly above $1,000. We bought them a beautiful pendant from Tiffany's,

Re: How much did you spend on gifts for your bridal party?

I spent $140 or so on each BM, and then about $175 on my MOH (estimate)

the guys really varied because DH wanted to get them each something that was very special to them - (i.e., one got an authentic Yankee's jersey, another an Islander's one, each a different price)

I spent about $60 on each of them and am getting them all reprints from the wedding of me & them and then them with their significant others in frames.. so that's another $40 or so.

Re: How much did you spend on gifts for your bridal party?

About 90 on each bridesmaid, and about 400 on my sister/MOH. Big discrepancy I know, but she deserved every bit of it!

Re: How much did you spend on gifts for your bridal party?

I had 4 BM's, 1 MOH (my sister) and 1 Matron of Honor (best friend). I spent a little more than $100 on a gift for each BM, and about $200 each for my MOH and matron of honor. I also paid for 4 of them to get their hair done the day of. Wow, I never really added it up~
