Bridemaids Gifts

So I have eight bridemaid, I Do not know what to get as gifts. I am working on a tight budget, so I can't afford to pay for their dresses, hair, makeup, or any of that. So, here is what I got so far

Tote bag with initials
wine glasses with their names
makeup bag with initials

Is there is great dollar stores, I can get luggage tags, or anything really cute to add in the bags. I NEED IDEAS.
I was thinking of adding a glass of wine to all their bags and a pashmina. Two of them are pregnant, so maybe they can drink the wine afterwards I dont know what to do, I AM SO LOST.

What about their day of jewelry? A bunch of girls on here have gotten earrings + necklace sets for like $15-20 at Macy's. If you have coupons, you can probably get a similar deal.

I went to Macys right after Christmas and got jewelry for them there... they had amazing sales!! I would try something like this, you can get nice things for a very reasonable price. I might do the pashminas too, you can get them for like 3 dollars each in the city... check out my album for a picture of the jewelry I got them...

I think what you have, with the wine and pashmina, is perfectly fine!!

Re: Bridemaids Gifts

I think either of thes suggestions is great, but I really prefer receiving DOJ as a gift. The one time I didn't get DOJ I was so confused as to what to wear and how much to wear. It just makes my life easier to be told or given what to wear as DOJ.

Re: Bridemaids Gifts

I'm doing the standard DOJ, Pashmina
and I am going to get those Dr. Scholl's slipper shoe things that roll up into your purse.

Re: Bridemaids Gifts

I am a 2011 bride stalker...sorry, I love planning and miss hearing all the ideas. Here are some things. I had 10 girls and gave them a handbag (filled with stuff - ie. tissues, gum, etc), DOJ (earings/necklaces), a pashmina, flip flops, personalized shoe bag.

For pashmina's that are cheap and nice quality - http://googdot.com/

Personalized shoe bags (you know your girls are going to take their shoes off) - http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod38150156&eItemId=prod38150156&cmCat=search&searchType=MAIN&parentId=&icid=&rte=search.jhtml%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dshoe%252Bbag%2526_requestid%253D42690

For jewelry/handbags/etc....it is worth taking a trip into the city. They have TONS of accessory places that sell at wholesale. 32nd street - 26th street on 6th Ave. There is also a small bridal place (sells veils, head pieces, under garments, etc on I believe 28th street and 6 Ave.

Hope that helps!!! Good Luck!
