Bridal party gifts

I was actually thinking about a bottle of each of the groomsmen favorite drink. I also wondered if they would be offended but hopefully not.

My girls I am going to buy them tracksuits (they are on sale now at shopbop.com, nordstrom, revolve clothing and several other sites) I wanted to have the embroidered but at the same time I want them to be able to wear it again without the bridesmaid on it but I am not sure how to tie it all together other than a bunch of girls in tracksuits. I also wanted to get bags and add lotions and slippers and nail polish and things like that as well.

Is it wrong to give the girls so much and guys a bottle of liquor?

I got my girls the following:

Tote bag
Makeup brush kit w/ case (BM's only)
Lip gloss kit (BM's only)
Bath & Body kit (MOH's only)
Jewelry pouch
Totes Isotoners ballet slippers
Double picture frame with a pic of me with each BM on one side and the other side left blank for a wedding pic
Swarovski necklaces
Swarovski earrings for MOH's and FSIL to match their necklaces
Crystal brooch for their dress
Lolita wine glasses

Oh and they all also have the option to get a free mani/pedi, as my sister (MOH) is a manicurist.


As for GM gifts - that's FH's job. He wants to get them watches.

wow you got your girls alot. I also thought of buying my girls wedding jewelry but my sister is trying to convince me to let everyone choose their own. Because they have to wear everything else the same so let them have the jewelry different.

I would give them a personalized flask or glass to go with the liquor bottle, so is just not a bottle. This was my plan B, if FH didnt make up his mind, but he finally decided on something on his own. He got them watches.

BMs are getting diamond tennis bracelets and each will also get a second small gift (around $15) to suit her personality

GM are getting black socks that say Groomsman / Best Man (and FH is getting himself one too that says Groom) ... we're going to take a pic of them all showing off their socks lol .... GMs are also getting cufflinks

This is exactly how I felt about it. I know I've been a BM before and was forced to wear jewelry that was beautiful, but so NMS! I want them to be able to accessorize however they want so they can all stand out.

I think the track suits are such a cute idea! I know the embroidery would be so cute but you're right, they wouldn't get to wear it again. Maybe just make the track suit in your wedding color and have them all wear them the day of while you guys are getting ready?

ETA: And you can get the guys a really nice bottle of liquor, something they wouldn't normally get for themselves. But I do like the flask idea to go with it.

FH is getting his groomsmen all bottles of their favorite drink also. I don't think guys really care about the sentimental stuff. I actually think they would be happy to get booze.

thanks ladies. I want my gifts to my girls to be both sentimental and practical. I ultimately think that I might leave the GM gifts to FH.

My wedding will be off white so everyone including the bridal party will be wearing white. But I wanted a white suit for myself and not the girls.
