Who said you had to get something from tiffany's? Please! That is ridiculous. You wouldn't look cheap at all! If you think that the crystal bracelets will look good and you like them that that is what you should get!

Re: BM gift poll

they're nice, but you are supposed to get something from Tiffanys, or else you look cheap'

lol...then there must be a lot of cheap brides on here! wow, i've never heard that before. get what you think will look beautiful with the dresses, it most certainly does not have to be tiffany brand!!! if you happen to find a tiffany piece that you love and can afford then go with it, but don't overspend for a piece of jewelery you don't love!!! good luck! ~lacey

Re: BM gift poll

I agree, you don't have to get them anything from tiffanys, you get them what you can afford. Afterall is the though that counts.

I have never heard that BM gifts need to be from Tiffany's.... Is she even married herself? Or ever help plan a wedding? Because i feel like she has NO idea as to what she's talking about! Get your girls whatever you wanna give them but also what you could afford.

Actually, she's in the midst of a divorce, she spent $1500 each on her 2 bridesmaids, BUT that was the ONLY expence she had, I was thinking more in the $150-200 range. I still have 4 bm (including MOH), SO thats still around $600, the only thing is, am I supposed to get my MOH something nicer then the bm's?

That's crazy!!!! OMG, then she must be loaded and has no sense of reality!!! I don't mean to be rude at all, I just think $1500 is way to much to spend! I will probably try to keep mine under $100 per girl....

Re: BM gift poll

Thank you girls, yeah, the bracelets were $125, and then I figured I'd get them all small bottles of their favorite perfume, but now after reading all your post, I think I'm just going to go w/ the bracelets. I don't even know why I listened to her, she always says things I don't agree w/!

Re: BM gift poll

By no means do you have to get anything from Tiffany. I almost did but then I found out that one of my BM's already had what I wanted to get them. I also do not have a huge BP so it wouldn't have broken me financially.
