I'm getting them their jewelry and a nice small monogramed tote. My budget is pretty tight so I can not go crazy. I may also get them something at bath & body works. Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!!

Re: bridesmaids gifts--CLUELESS!

none taken, its all about what you can afford. and when i say jewerly, i don't mean a $4 necklace. i have 4 girls so i'll probably spend about $100-$115 each. to me, that is not cheap

I know how you feel

But I'm sure they'll understand. If that's all you can afford then just do that. Don't feel obligated to go overboard. We all want to show our gratitude but sometimes our budgets don't work with us!!!

Re: bridesmaids gifts--CLUELESS!

Orignally I didn't want to just get them jewlery- I was only going to get them something for personal use and just ask that all jewlery they weat be silver/white gold.

For my 8 BM I am paying for their makeup- but I got a great price b/c there are so many.

Now I want to give them a monogrammed jewlery box and a little necklace (nothing exp- the box is $45) but FH wants to go over how much I want to spend. I'd like to spend about 75 per BM and 100 for the 2 MOH. FH can have the same budget for the guys.

We'll see. Do what you can afford-they'll understand!
