I have NO CLUE what to get my difficult bridesmaids.
i am VERY short on money right now, so i dont want to spend a tremendous amount of money. and only 2 of them really offered to help me with anything. any suggestions? and if you dont mind me asking about how much did all of you spend? what is appropriate.
Thanks so much!

I just have a MOH. I got her a purse and jewelry set for the wedding, some really nice Bath and Body work products, and a candle. I spent about $60 total.

If you get catalogs mailed home about bridal gifts, you could some nice things. Also, try things remembered or one of the stands in the malls.

Re: Bridesmaid's Gifts?? HELP
My intention:
sache embroidered with name initial, with popouri inside ($10- got them on clearance)
clear patin leather bag with red satin timming ($2- got the on clearance)
14k gold earrings with garnets (I then had the earrings dipped in white gold so that they'd match with the beading on the BM dress) after the dipping- $45 for each pair
slippers with embroidery and beading in the shape of martini glasses ($5- got them on clearance)
$25 gift card to Victoria's Secret.
This all totalled approx $90 each. I also paid $65 each for them to get their hair done and another $20 for them to get their shoes dyed.
In the end, I held off on giving the $25 gift cards to 2 of the girls because I felt like the other 3 helped me a lot throughout the planning and those 2 didn't really do anything. So, I kept those 2 $25 gift cards for myself.
For the holidays, I will be giving the 3 remaining girls monogrammed photo albums with a bunch of photos from the wedding, as well as a 4x6 print in a really pretty frame that I bought at Target. (Those holiday gifts will total approx $60 each)

Re: Bridesmaid's Gifts?? HELP
i had a man of honor and spent like 250 or so on him and the rest of the girls i spent like 150 but thats because i went overboard. some of them didnt help much or chip in to help my mother with the shower. i think you should look on ebay there are so really great coach vendors that sell authnetic stuff. you can get them wristlets for like 45 dollars each. i think thats a great gift
