I have two readers, one from Florida who will not be making the rehearsal dinner, but the other is FH's sister who I think we should get something for. I decided not to get something for my friend from FL since I will not see her until the wedding day & in the midst of the day, I don't think she'll be wondering where her gift is!! I'm just concerned about his sister. What are you ladies doing?

I wasn't sure about this either so I'm interested in what people have to say about this...

We didn't. It can get out of hand. Obviously, they were at the rehersal dinner. I felt that was enough.

FH feels we don't need to - I just don't want her feeling left out. We got the parents, BP & kids gifts....My nieces/nephew are in the bp, but FH's are not. So I got them gifts just so they don't feel left out & they are helping hand out programs at the church anyway.

I plan on getting a small gift for the readers to give them at the rehearsal dinner. I think I'm going to get nice bookmarks and maybe one of those books about friendship or something like that.

I did. I got a set of 3 small lenox frames. They were like $30 w/tax.

We just got each of our readers an inexpensive picture frame. We wanted to give them a small token, but didn't want it to get out of hand.

Our main readers (our Uncles) each got a bottle of wine, the younger readers for the prayer of the faithful got stuff from the Bath and Body shop (I hit one of their sales).

Yes, I plan to. Maybe a GC or something small.

Re: Are you buying a gift for your readers?
I did. I had one female reader and I bought her a cute necklace/earring set. I had two male readers, who are big into hunting, so I got them a gift relevant to that.
I think it's necassary. Other's will disagree of course and that's ok :) You do what you feel comfy with. I've been a reader in other's weddings and always received a gift.

We brought our readers (who were our aunts) each a picture frame and then our picture taken with each one of them at the wedding and gave them the picture to put in the frame.

Re: Are you buying a gift for your readers?
I have been a reader before and didn't get a gift and so opted not to give gifts to my two readers. It is hard to know where to draw the line.
