BM Gifts

Re: BM Gifts

I would consider a tiffany necklace a nice gift, not typical DOJ. I have to say one of the worst BM gifts I got was a red purse from David's bridal to match my red BM's dress. Neither of which I would use again.

I'm just saying if you're spending the money to give a gift, give a gift your friends/family appreciate not one that matches what you have asked them to wear. Maybe you have gotten DOJ that you would wear again. But how many of you have had to buy dresses that the bride said you can wear again, but you never would and they gave you all the accessories to go along that just take up space in the closet. Be considerate not bridezillas.

BTW there is an organization called Becky's Closet where I donated all my BM's dresses to. They give them to high school students in need of prom dresses.

I got each BM DOJ (neclace and earrings) but it's pearl and rhinestone and they will be able to wear it again. (I changed my mind because at first, I was getting them pink DOJ to match their dresses, but I realized that it's unlikely they'll wear it again). I'm also paying for their hair and I am getting each a personalized gift-my sisters are getting an engraved photo frame and my future sister-in-law is getting something else (I'm stumped as to what. She doesn't get her nails done so I can't get her a gift certificate for a manicure; she doesn't wear makeup and perfume; I might get her a gift certificate for dinner somewhere...???). But that's another post haha.

A dinner gift certificate is always nice as well as a gift certificate for a massage if she likes that kind of thing.

We think we might do watches for the guys and my FSIL since she really doesn't have one.


Dress watches that change bands or faces are nice for girls since many women don't own a lot of dress or different watches.

My FH and I into nice watches and his friends always comment on his.

I paid for my MOH dress and bought her David Yurman earrings.

I bought a Tiffany necklace for my BM.



Paying for the dress is the best gift!
