BP Gifts - What are you giving your BP?

I spent about $55 per girl and $65 for the maid of honor so far. The GM gifts are about $54, but we haven't ordered them yet.

We got really lucky, though. I was in China, so I was able to get real pearls for the girls for less than it would cost to buy fake pearls in New York! The guys are getting Swiss Army knives, but I get a huge discount through some corporate rewards program at work - so we're getting them 50% off.

I might add something small to the girls' gifts, and I think I'd like to do something additional for my wonderful MOH and another BM who went above and beyond. The BM might get something extra, too - or just a nicer Swiss Army knife - just b/c he's awesome and doing so much!

I think about $50 per person is acceptable. If I had a smaller bridal party, I may have spent more, but we have 7 GM and 7BMs!

I have a smaller bridal party. 1 MOH, 2 BM's, 1 BM, 2 GM's, 2 FG's and 1 RB.

For the adults-75-100 each and the kids about 50 each. You have to do what you can afford.

We did spend a lot on our BP but we got good deals by looking for sales and FH works for the company that owns Bath & Body and VS so I did get a nice discount on that stuff

I bought all the day of attire for the bridesmaids, shoes and jewelery. Plus they each were given a Hobo Coach Bag.
The guys in the wedding got Calvin Klein wallets from Marshalls and each wallet had a $100 Amex gift cheque. I took the marshalls tags off the wallets and put them in 'little brown bags' perception is reality
