BM/GM cute gift IDEAS, please help!!

OK, FH and I won a cocktail party for 15 people at the LIW Anniversary Party so we wanted to have it with our BMs and GMs and their significant others. It is going to be June 16th (it's at a really nice steakhouse with drinks, etc)

This will be the first time that all of our BP members who don't already know each other will be meeting-- it's going to fun and really nice and we are very excited but here is my dilemma:

Do I give something cute like a little gift?? This will not be their big BP member gift obviously but I just thought something cute would be nice (gift bag or something of that nature)... What do you guys think? Do I give the same thing to their significant others or something a little less nice? Or do they get nothing and only the members get something??
I'm so confused, any ideas?? I'm not looking to spend a crazy amount of money and there are only 12 of them all together (including sig others)...

PLEASE help with ANY suggestions or even websites where they have CUTE gifts... THANKS!!

bump for more suggestions if any 'night' brides have any

I don't think it is necessary to give them any gifts....I don't really know the details of the prize you won, but i'm assuming you and FH might have to pick up the tipping??? If nothing else, you're providing them with a night out!! .... If you're looking for some sort of gift idea....

Wedding related-

For the girls, you can get them shirts that say 'bridesmaid' or even a picture frame with you and them......
For the guys..... I guess you can do a picture....but I'm not really sure how many guys would like that...

Non Wedding related-

As a gift for the BM/GM and the Sig. you can do a 'night at the movies' type of thing. I had a bridal shower for a friend recently and we each had to bring a gift worth about $10.00 as a prize.... I made a gift basket with popcorn (one of the big tubs that you can pop the popcorn right in there), candy, a Blockbuster gift card..... If you wanted to embelish a bit, you can give everyone a copy of some of yours and FH's favorite DVDs....you can usually find them on sale at Blockbuster or Circuit city pretty cheap ($4.99 or sometimes 4 for $25)

As a gift for the GM....if your FH is a big Yankee fan......take them to a game....bleacher seats are only about $12.00 a piece...and the crowdy is rowdy and fun. If you drive in in a van or something, parking will run you about $20... i'm not a Met fan....so I don't know if they have bleacher section?? or how cheap the cheapest seats are...



Thats all for now....if I think of anything else...i'll post again!! Good Luck! and have a good time!!

alright, thanks girls!!! the idea of a gift didn't even cross my mind until my FMIL said she thought they should get 'a little something'... that it would be weird just going and coming home with nothing so then i thought 'well, i don't want to be rude'...

but FH and i are picking up the tips (as someone asked) and i invited them all back to our place for drinks and stuff. i hope that's enough.

**maybe we'll play a game and i'll put together ONE nice basket (nothing too $$) and whoever wins gets the basket??**

something cute to do in between the cocktail party and going to a bar...

thanks a bunch!! i appreciate it, i think this will work out better-- and now FH won't be annoyed b/c he thought it was too much to get them gifts too. especially b/c my BM (jess) just started dating this guy she is bringing and i don't know him from a hole in the wall yet so it would be so weird to try and give him something! LOL

thanks!!!!!!

I honestly don't think you need to give anything. You're already giving them a dinner with their significant others for free.

I agree!! I think the dinner and drinks is enough! That is a very nice thing to do!!!

Honestly, If I were you I would save the money. Specially if you are paying for the wedding. You 'll have a chance to give them something at your RD....
