What's a good amount to spend on your bridesmaids in total including whatever you're doing for them? I know different people choose to treat their bridesmaids in different ways..Spa, hair, makeup, gifts. But what's a good amount to spend in total? Thanks.

Re: $$ Bridesmaid's gifts?
So I was going to spend what they did on their dresses... but now that I think of it, I might as well just get their dresses for them.

I'm spending about $200 or so total on each girl. I started buying things about a year ago so I was spending a little as I go.

This sounds like a good idea, so that I have a bit more freedom with the bm dress prices, but do you think it'll be weird when everyone usually opens up presents at the dress rehersal dinner?

I am planning on spending between $150-$200 on each girl. I just need to decide whether I’m paying for half of their hair/makeup, or the full amount. Other than that I got them Coach wristlets and made their DOJ.

I don't think so... and if that's the case, I might get them some DOJ but nothing too expensive.

Re: $$ Bridesmaid's gifts?
should people generally spend what their bridesmaids are spending on them? Like lets say the dresses with alterations come to 200, and then they spend 50 on a shower gift, should you think to spend 250ish?

Re: $$ Bridesmaid's gifts?
I would like to not go over $100 on BM, but MOH (sister) I may do something extra for

It honestly all depends on how many girls you have and what you are looking to spend in total. I spent around $85 for the BMs and $115 on the MOHs. Everyone got the same thing but the MOHs got a little extra gift.

In total, I'm spending 100 on each BM, and 165 on my MOHs.
I got everyone DOJ, a t-shirt with their title for my bachelorette party and paying for everyone's hair.
I'm also paying for my MOH's makeup as well.

Re: $$ Bridesmaid's gifts?
So is the gift to the bm's more of a thank you to them and not so much an equal to what they're spending gift? Generally?

I was thinking of getting them a gift cerfiticate from a resturant but resturant.com is even better--- good idea.
i will spend bw $150-175 each girl.
