bridesmaids gifts

how much do you plan on spending on your bridesmaids gifts? if you know already, what will you be getting them??

also are you paying for the the bridesmaids gifts & FH paying for the groomsmen gifts or will you be splitting the costs?

Re: bridesmaids 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.

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

I guess you could say that I've paid for the BM gifts and FH will pay for the GM gifts, but since we already live together and basically split all costs, we're pretty much splitting it.

Re: bridesmaids gifts

I only have (2) girls- MOH and BM, so I'm getting them a bracelet and earrings for the day of (their dresses are halter, so i didn't think a necklace would look good). Then I'm getting them a necklace to wear everyday. For my MOH (my sis), i'll prob get her an ankle bracelet also.
FH and I will split the cost. As far as the guys, still not sure what we're getting them, prob a wallet and cologne.

Re: bridesmaids gifts

i am planning to spend like $75-$100 each (more on the moh)...i have 9 girls so i would love to spend more but i just cant do it with that many!

fh and i are saving our money together for the wedding so the gifts will be payed for with both our money

Re: bridesmaids gifts

probably $100 then if i decide to pay for makeup, another $75, so that would be $175/per girl

Re: bridesmaids gifts

forgot to add we are paying for both gifts, we live together and have one checking account so everything is from both of us.

Re: bridesmaids gifts

I have 6 girls so I wanted to spend $50 on each girl. SO far I bought them a ll couch wristlets. $50 each. I didnt wait for a sale so I paid full price. I might get them something else but for right now I'm fine with just getting that.

Re: bridesmaids gifts

As of now the plan is to spend about $50 each. If towards the end, we have more money, I'll definitely get them more. But the wedding party his HUGE so it's kind of rough for me.

As for the splitting it, FH and I have one savings account called Wedding Fund. We put money into it as often as possible. We know our budget. The gift money just comes out of there. Either of us will charge a credit card, then use the savings account to write out a check. Simple.

Re: bridesmaids gifts

We're splitting the cost.

BM's ...

Tote bag
Flip Flops
DOJ
Custom painted wine glass
(I'll prob throw a lip gloss or something in them too)

MOH is getting the same plus paying for her Make up

GM

I think I am stealing Adriana's idea and getting them a nice bottle of something and a cigar

Re: bridesmaids gifts

gm are getting ray ban aviators

as for the pay, we both have 4 people, and the gifts will be about the same, so well prob each pay for our own, even though it would work out the same if we split it
