How much can you realistically spend in total?

You do not have to go overboard or get them anything expensive if you cannot afford it. You could get them their day of jewelry, which does not have to be expensive.

I think Vera Bradley makes make-up bags that start around $15 for the small one. That would also be a nice gift.

both great ideas! you dont have to get your BM's a bunch of things or spend a lot to let them know you appreciate them! a small gift and or jewelry for the day of with a sentimental card is more than enough!

Get the jewels for the day. It does not have to be expensive. I know what you saying Im so broke now and I have just as many girls as you. I can't even afford flowers now But where there is a will there will be a way.

Have you known them for a while? What about taking old pictures of you and them and framing them? Maybe getting a double frame for each and putting in two different pictures and if you have known any for a really long time do a young one and a recent one?
