What would be a nice brisdesmaid gift for my bridesmaids? I am on a VERY limited budget and I have seen several ideas online that are interesting but the biggest issue I am having is that three of my girls are my cousins. I know them of course but two are 7 years younger and one is 13 years younger! I don't 'know them' so I am stumped as how to keep it sentimental, personal but still INEXPENSIVE!
I am planning something much more sentimental for my MOH because she is my best friend and we know one another inside and out, but I am stumped for the three other girls. Any help is appreciated.
Ages in case that affects the thinking are; 19, 19 and 14.

Someone did little mini pocketbooks that looked like makeup bags, and stuffed them with all sorts of cute things.

I did the personalized makeup bags that I bought off Ebay. Then I put a gift certificate in the them.

something personal and sentimental could be to get them a personalized lace hankie for the day - ive seen soem with poems on them or a phrase and then they can keep it to use on their wedding day

actually, there not $30 anymore. there $47.99 but at the time i paid $60 ... but they usually have things like 'buy one get one 50% off.' ALOT. . .
You will find a nifce amount of inexpensive stuff online and in the store. However, Things Remembered, they GET YOU with personalization. I spent $150 on each girl [I had 6 BM] and I think each gift cost me $40 to personalize. . . So actually, yeah I did spent more than $150 on each girl . . . and yes I did max out my visa card

I got all mine embroidered robes. Thought it would be useful and cute for pics as well. Were gonna get our makeup done in them. Then I was gonna chip in for hair or makeup.

Re: Bridesmaid gifts for a VERY limited budget?
All good ideas but I cannot afford to pay more than 35 bucks for each girl max. REALLY tight budget-I am in school sitll-last semester paying off loans etc. We just dont have the money casue we are paying for WHOLE wedding ourselves. So lets work with those numbers....
Also keep in mind one is 14 years old. The others are barely 19.

how about going on overstock.com and get some freshwater pearl jewelery? It will look substantial, yet under $30........

Someone on here (I think it was here anyway) suggested a really cute idea that I'm doing as part of their gifts... get a nice double picture frame and one one side you can put a nice poem or soemthing and the otherside you put a pic of you 2 together... I'll probbaly leave the picture side empty until I get some wedding pics back and then send them pics of us together to put in there.
