bridal party gifts

My photographer incuded in our package one 4x6 foto for each person in the bridal party. (Including the flower girl and ring bearer)
I was thinking for the bridal party to give them each a fram with the date engraved and a note in the frame that says, this is for one foto of your choice from any of our proofs.

The guys are also getting super hero t-shirts to wear under their tuxes the day of the wedding. (FI loves superheroes. They are all kids at heart!)

I have no clue what else to get the girls, but I would probably spend $15ish more other than the frames on something... either a giftcard to their fave place or maybe group manicures a day or two before the wedding.
Is this good? Would you feel jipped if this is what you got? The frame I mean???

Thanks so much!!!

Re: bridal party gifts

i love the overall idea. i personally am not a fam of having the frame engraved....but i looove that they can pick a proof and that your photographer included this for you. is there anything for the day of the wedding that the girls might need. i would say i thought it was enough but i would do a litttle something more if you are getting the guys those shirts..maybe a little jewlery or, purse, or pashmina or something?

I think its fine. I am paying for all of their hair and makeup, getting them bath robes with their names embroidered, and a key chain or pocket mirror with their initials.

I like the idea of you paying for everyone's manicures too. That's a nice touch and a nice girl's day out before the wedding.

I would love that as a gift! I love photos, and I'm actually mad that I've never even been able to see proofs from the weddings I've been in. And I've never had a manicure or a pedicure, so go for it! I don't think you need to give more.
