Bridal Party Presents

So I'm starting to purchase presents for my bridal party and I am completely clueless!

If I am going to spend the money, I want the presents to be practical and things they will actually use..

Suggestions?????

Also my sister said she put a $50 cap on each bridesmaid but she said that even that was a little too expensive....

How much are you spending on each bridesmaid?

I only have 3 bridesmaids. I ordered them a pearl set from Macy's for them to wear on the day of the wedding. I didn't want to only do wedding-day related gifts so I got them cross-body bags from the Coach outlet! I got one for myself as well! I deserved it after all the planning!

I have 2 MOHs, 4 BMs, and 1 JRBM.

I already bought them shirts to wear for my bachelorette party, and I bought them a DOJ set.

I also am paying for their hair, and for my MOHs, I am paying for their makeup too.

Re: Bridal Party Presents

I'm spending about 100-150 for each girl.

I'm contributing to the cost of their bridesmaid dress and bought them each a pair of flip flops from old navy, a canvas tote bag from lands end and a pearl drop necklace/pearl earring set from Etsy

150 on MOH

Re: Bridal Party Presents

I'm paying for my girls' dresses, no other gift. I felt that was the most practical thing I could give them.

for the BMs, we spent around $80 for each (the MOH's were a little bit more) and the GMs were around the same.

BM:
not sure what else extra FH is going to give.

2 year old RB:
Build a Bear dressed in a suit to match him

5 year old RB:
Buzz Lightyear watch

6 year old FG:
pearl bracelet from Etsy

Re: Bridal Party Presents

it really depends on the # of BM and your finances...I have TEN so doing 100 each is just impossible for me. I spent 50 each and a little more on MOH. I made sure to get a bunch of little things so that the thought I put into it was clear! It's all about the thought- for me. If I had more $ I'd probably do gift certificates in addition. Give yourself a budget then start searching---IMO it's about finding gifts that are useful and thoughtful.
