Just wondering what you girls are spending on your BMs. I got a $70 coach wristlet, but was thinking about a necklace I found for $80. Is it way too much to spend $150 for my 7 girls. That's about $1000 just on my girls. Crazy???

I have
sapphire Bracelet, Duffel bag and Jewelry Box for each,
and for MOH I also have booties for around the house that you put a lavender insert in the microwave, insert in the soles of the shoe, and they massage and warm your feet around the house (she always complains that her feet hurt and are cold, so I thought they would be appreciated)

C'mon ladies. I know you have your BMs gifts in mind if you haven't already bought them. These boards are so slow tonight I need help.

I also did wristlets, but spent around 35-40 on them b/c of a coupon for the outlets. I also am giving them pearl earrings to wear and money towards hair and makeup. I'd like to do something else, but don't know what.
I've been in bridal parties before and in one I got a shadow box w/pictures and jewelry. In another I got jewelry and our shawls. These gifts were all fine by me, but I see some people go all out on here and I feel a little guilty.

Yeah, I had a coupon too, but my wristlet is pretty big. Almost looks like a little purse. I think I decided against spending so much. The necklaces would've come out to $95 with tax and shipping. I can't spend $170 on everyone. It's crazy!

Re: BM Gifts
Have you thought about searching for a cheaper necklace? Is it a necklace to wear for the wedding?

Yeah, I wasn't even planning on getting them necklaces. I happened to come across it though and loved it. I need to stick with my original idea. Being home makes me think too much!

Re: BM Gifts
Stick to your original then! With all the thinking going on, maybe a better less expensive idea might pop into your head!

Re: BM Gifts
My sister saw a post of mine once before and I said I would be spending about 150$ per BM and she thought that was nuts. This is what I am thinking:
1) Day of earrings (freshwater pearls dangly things) 2) Bridesmaid wine 3) a 'queen bee' tote bag, which I just think is super cute 4) 4 'Vino' glasses from Crate & Barrel
Then I was going to also put money toward having their make-up done or hair - and if they don't plan to have either done, then I will put that extra money on a gc for them to like Sephora or something.
I haven't bought BM gifts yet...but I'm planning $75 on my BMs and $100 on my MOHs

I definitely went overboard with my spending on my girls and I hope they appreciate it, I bought everything early so I wouldn't feel the hit of the cost, here is what they are getting:
*personalized tote bag *day of necklace *BM's e.l.f lotion/bath gift set *MOH e.l.f makeup kits *velour hoodie *airbrushed tank top *VS luggage tag *Day of Makeup

Re: BM Gifts
Not crazy at all! I'm probably spending about the same amount or maybe more. It's a lot of money but think about how much each girl spend on us.

Re: BM Gifts
if u can afford the $150 then id say go for it. if it doesnt fit into ur budget then rethink it. i dont think its too much to spend on them tho. i have 7 bm's and am gonna end up spending $150 on them too. 3 of my bm's are going to be traveling for the wedding plus the expense of their dresses, etc i think it's worth it, jmo tho.
