Re: does any one know the avg you should spend on attendants gifts?
it really varies......
how close are you to the people?
how much can you afford?
how much did they have to contribute(spend on dresses, shoes, hair,makeup)... if they spent alot then a nicer gift.
i think ive seen like a range of $25 to 200.....
my girls i bought their dress, and they can do whatever for hair, makeup, shoes. i think i spent around $100 on them...

I spent more (on some of them) than I should have because they are people close to me.
My MOH (sister) - 140. - 14k & Opal necklace (really good sale)
My Jr BM (future step daughter) -100. - gold bracelet
My reader (best friend) 40. - gold earrings
Best Man (his best friend) - 55. - pocket watch key chain from red envelope.
ETA: my FG - 30. - I got her (and the Jr BM) a precious moments chest and for the FG I got her a 14k necklace with a pink heart cz pendant on it.

I am going to have 12 girls total! Seven bridesmaids, one junior bridesmaid and four flower girls (I know the four flower girls are a bit much, but I just have a big family and didn't want hurt feelings)
Anyway, since my party is pretty big, and I am crafty, I am going to make things for them for them to wear on that day- either a necklace or bracelet, etc. I was thinking of just gathering some personal little things for each one and making a gift bag- I will probably spend like 30-50 on each. For the little girls, I was thinking of making them a picture frame (decorating the frame) and putting a picture of us on the wedding day in it as a reminder.

i spent $100 on one bridesmaid b/c she totally went gungho and did my shower, is constantly talking to me and really helping me out. My MOH is still lacking in gifts b/c i need to go shopping again. my other two b/c, i spent about $35 each, went to tj maxx and got awesome stuff for them for great prices!

i spent about $125-$150 on all of them...it was more than i was planning on spending, but I couldn't not get them somethine really special. and i inly had 4 to buy for, so i could afford to splurge a little on them![]()

I haven't bought yet, but plan on spending about $100 per attendant.

Hmmm... price for me isn't really telling, because I am a coupon and sale fiend!! LOL
Here is the list:
For each BM:
A small canvas tote bag to hold the gifts
an engraved ID bracelet from Red Envelope
Box of truffles from Godiva
Body Splash & Lotion from Bath & Body Works
For my MOH, I got her an additional thing from B&BW and a larger box of chocolates, just a little extra, so she knows I appreciate her. (Without the sales and coupons and stuff, it woul have been about $95 - but I paid about half that! )
