Question: What is reasonable to spend on bridesmaid gifts? Like is there a set amount?
Another question: What the hell should I get them? I was thinking Jewelry, but each girl has her own style.
One more question: Did anyone get their BM's jewelry from Thomas Knoel?

Re: Bridesmaid Gifts
I'm spending about $50 on each girl.
I got them handbags when they were on sale at American Bridal. I'm also getting them little travel sized stuff b/c they are staying in the hotel with me the night before. Plus, I was either going to get them jewelry or little spa baskets. I'm also adding bathrobes for my MOHs.

Re: Bridesmaid Gifts
I think the price is up to you. I've been in wedding parties where the girl spend $25 on us or one where she spend like $150 on us.
My personal opinion on jewelery is, its not for me. I feel like I have so much of it. - jmo
I have bought everything from Michaels, eBay and the Dollar Tree.
I still plan on doing monogrammed tote bags and some other things, but this is a good start.

Re: Bridesmaid Gifts
My girls are getting 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
**I've bought all of the above so far and have only spent around $35 on each girl. I've been getting major deals using coupons and bargain shopping.
I also plan to buy them a rhinestone brooch for their dress, DOJ and maybe a robe. All together, I plan to spend between $100-$150 on each girl, possibly around $200 on my MOH's.
They all also have the option to get a free mani/pedi, as my sister (MOH) is a manicurist.

Re: Bridesmaid Gifts
i am spending around $50 each girl. FH will stay around the same amount for the guys.
i purchased them DOJ from overstock.com.
i also agree that with jewelery it is hard because everyone does have their own style, however if you purchase them something to wear day of, its one less thing they have to worry about.

Re: Bridesmaid Gifts
I want to spend about $50 on each girl for their DOJ.
I also plan on paying for their makeup and parts of their day of emsemble (dress + shoes). I also made an overnight bag full of goodies and stuff for our b-party!

Re: Bridesmaid Gifts
I'm getting them DOJ. But it might not be the same depending on which dress they pick out. (I'm giving the girls a choice of 3 from the same designer in the same color).
I'm probably gonna get them 3/4 more things. I might get each girl a gift based on their personality.
