Is there really any 'set' amount for spending on all the attendants in your bridal party? I mean, I see some girls getting $100 gifts, and mines just about 60-75..depending. I got Swovorski necklaces for each of the adults (the 2 MOHs got bigger ones) and the kids got smaller sets. Is that not enough...? What do you think? I will also be getting them all slippers for after the pictures, and getting any one pic they want from the wedding...as an 8x10 framed... what do you think? I do have a large party.....

Re: BM Gifts

This is a good question. I'd like to know what other girls are doing.

I think ebveryone does it on what they can do. For me my MOH $75 and the girls $50, same for best man and groomsmen. Im know people do more then that and also take into consideration how many people you have in your party and your budget. If you have alot then I would think you may spend a reasonable amount because of having soo many people.

That sounds like a good price, mostly people buy jewellery for them to wear the day of?

that's what I am saying you want to spend more on them but, with a big BP you have to budget and I think that is fine. I have a small BP and have to budget.
The 1st 2 pics is what I got my FG bag and interchangeable necklace is from avon. And I got her stationary from vista print.

For all my girls I got them these nacklace sets, from avon. I got them in silvertone and they were cheaper, they arent into jewlery at all. I also got 2 of my BMs these totes from avon but, dividing them between the 2 of them. One will get the large and wristlet with alot of beach gear and the other will get the red or white one with a coach wristlet.

Wow those are gorgeous! Nice choice. Earrings too?

Re: BM Gifts

What do you guys think of these? With forest green dresses? Which one do you like best?

Dani777 Posted: Jul 06, 2008 08:29 PM

Re: BM Gifts

Nah...no earrings... I WANT to... but then it will bring the coast to over 150...and I just can't do that. For my Mom I will get an actual set... and my FMIL... Soooo much money involved.

THANKS! I was getting nervous but when I went to see them in person OMG... Georgous!

The funny thing too is my MOH was telling me how her freind that got married last year (and has TONS of money) gave Kohls jewlery... I'm keeping what I'm getting them a surprise, so I reeeallly hope that their jaws drop when they open them up!!! Lol. I looove making them happy

Dani777 Posted: Jul 06, 2008 08:30 PM

Re: BM Gifts

I loove all three, but the second one would be my personal choice for my girls. Where are they from??

jenniferd Posted: Jul 06, 2008 08:32 PM

Re: BM Gifts

I think swarovski is a great idea. My jaw would drop thats for sure! I've heard of people giving sterling silver necklaces from Tiffanys too. The bracelets are from bluenile.com. I was going to get one of those and maybe earrings.
