BM's

Can someone please remind me why I chose to have 9 Bm's and 4 Jr Bm's !?

Im trying to slowly buy their gifts and it is costing me an arm and a leg. Even for something as small as a 10 dollar ring it will cost me about 150 dollars to give them all one.

How much are you guys spending on BP gifts?

BM's

i bought them:
engraved champagne glasses ($5, knot sale)
small totes (like $5, knot sale)
doj- necklace (lia sophia party, almost nothing) + earrings ($6? each)
flip flops (old navy $1 sale)
so we didnt spend much but it looks like a lot. damn this makes me feel cheap LOL
also got my sister (MOH) a vera bradley bag to match her dress at the sale last week ($20) and real pearl earring/ necklace set - $35? (black friday/macys)

all the weddings i've been in, i've gotten about the same- DOJ + flip flops or a bag.

not done w/ FGs but we got a small bag ($1) and necklace (lia sophia, inexpensive too) for them all so far. we want to give them something fun and meaningful too.

Re: BM's

I agree..I have 10 girls and it's costing alot. I am not going crazy. I am spending $75 on each...which is 750! I wish I can spend more but with 10 girls its too much!

Re: BM's

I have a total of 7 girls:

5- BM- paying for hair ($70), personalized tumbler ($11), robe ($34)

Jr BM n FG, going to pay for hair ($45 & $55), tumblers ($11), undecided if I'm getting them robes

Also getting a little some thing extra for each, spending around $20.

I had 12!!! It can get to be very expensive. But it brought out the extreme couponer in me lol. I got them DOJ, Robes, and Personalized Hangers.

Try Kohls and google the 30% off coupon code -

The jewelry I bought, pearl necklaces, and pearl earrings, were $100 each but on sale and with the 30% off coupon I paid $30.

The Robes I got were $40 but on sale and with coupon I paid $12.

Hangers were like $15 each.

So if you don't mind going a little coupon crazy you can def get them a nice gift without breaking the bank.

If I had a smaller party I probably would've tried to cover everyones hair or makeup but with 12 girls that just was not happening.

I have 4 BMs and I bought them each a clutch for $70 and then I was going to get them DOJ for $30. I wanted to do robes too but it's now out of the budget!

Re: BM's

i bought my girls their shoes which were about 80/each... i want to get them something else too though, since the shoes are specifically for the wedding (although they are totally wearable, they're toms wedges)

BM's

I planned on spending $100 per girl -

DOJ ($40)
Hangar ($5)
Robe ($30)
Tote ($8)

I have one more thing to add so I wanted to do a clutch that I think they would use after the wedding since all of these things are kind of wedding related so it'll bring me a little over $100.

In the clutch I'm going to put some Day of Survival stuff, like lip gloss, mints, gum, advil, etc. I'm also going to give them each a pair of flip flops that I'm going to personalize, but I'm buying bulk flip flops for the guests so I'm just taking from there.

Does this sound like a good gift? I thought so, but now that I look at the list I wasn't that impressed since it's all mostly for the wedding. Should I do something more/different? They are doing a lot for my wedding so I wanted to make sure to reciprocate nicely.

I spent $100 each and more for moh. I only got their doj. I spent more on the jewelry bc I wanted something they would Def wear again. I got earrings from swarovski and necklaces from zales. Both on sale.

BM's

Thanks for some great ideas girls!! I feel better now that spending 100-150 per girl is okay.

I am prob gunna get robes from Kohls, went yesterday and they were on sale!! I love finding deals. You girls are the best!

BM's

I bought them hand=painted wine glasses from etsy ($25 each)

Their jewelry (probably from weddingfactorydirect.com, not sure which set yet or how much)

I was thinking about bath robes with their names embroidered on the back.

MOH's are my problem

Re: BM's

they got:
-necklace from Zales as DOJ
-hot pink flasks with their initials engraved
-black pashmina wrap for day of
