Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have 9 girls....I held a bridesmaid luncheon and gave all of them compact mirrors, then I'm doing bouquet jewelry plus DO earrings, I also did a necklace for my MOH and honestly, I'm out of money I can't afford to do anymore, I thought of tote bags or something but it's getting to be too much. Don't do more than you can. Thats the only advice I can give you, good luck!!!

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have a verry large BP... 5 kids and 5 adults. 2 of the 5 adults are my MOHs..LOL. Here's what I got... Swarvorski necklaces for day of... Tote bags with bunch of little things for pampering and what=nots lol Picutre frame so they can pick whatever pic they want from the wedding Paying for half their hair Tank tops for the morning getting ready
Just get some little things ... or even scrap books if you don't think that's enough. I spent about $80 on each girl... that's not including the hair part. LOL

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have 8 girls, 2jrs,one fg & usher & ring bearer. I got the girls swarovski neckalces which were on sale a few weeks ago, you might want to check out their sale! I really can't spend more than $65 ea which covered the necklaces but will prob get them something extra, not sure what tho...waiting for the right thing t find me! But I don't think more is expected or mandatory. I've been in a S**tload of weddings and I always only got a necklace to wear the day of! So do what you can! good luck!

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have 10 girls + 2 flower girls , I got the lands end bags with their names, flip flops that match their dresses (shhh Hillary) , I am still going to spend like 20 or so on earings for each girl. If I am in the mood I might get them each a beach towel to make a beach themed bag. I didnt spend all the money at once so it isnt too bad.

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
Yeah, I didn't spend all the money at once either...that's what made it seem like I didnt' spend that much. When I was going to go buy something else, FH had to stop me....he told me to start worrying about ME hahha...since it's MY wedding. Just get them what you can afford and you'll make them plenty happy.

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have 8 girls and am spending about $75-100 on each. I got them swaroski necklaces so far and not sure what else I am getting.
Oh and my mom did this for me but she found photo albums for really cheap at bed bath and beyond so I will give them an album at the rehearsal dinner with bachelorette party pics, shower pics, and other fun wedding pics that I have at the time.

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have 8 bridesmaids, a maid of honor and a mini maid of honor. So far i have bought my bridesmaids and MOH and mini MOH sets of pearls each, that were originally $200 a piece, i got them for $45 a piece. I have bought the 2 flower girls beautiful crystal and pearl headpieces that ran about $75 a piece. I still have to get MOH and mini MOH somethng else. and i am planning to get the flower girls lockets thanking them on the backs, and prob with a photo of them on one side when we tried on dresses and a photo of FH and i on the other. Hvent decided def. I also havent decided if im just going to use the head [pieces for the 2 MOH's as they are big enough that they could work. Maybe ill get them the coach wristlets.....lol so much to think about!!!!!!!!!!!!1
FH is planning to spoil his boys. He feels a need to one-up them since they all are getting married or have been married in the past 2 years (except like 3) and he has 7 groomsmen and a best man and 2 ring bearers. He is planning to go to Bvlgari for them. The last few weddings hes been in hes gotten a coach wallet, a coach scarf, a coach travel tote filled with mens stuff, a gold clock and tiffanys cuff links.....yes hes been in many weddings! hahaha
I also love the build a bear idea!!! if i can get FH to go for it, i would def get the FG's build a bears that say thank you for being our flower girl! oyyy we are spending so much! (thats the jewish in me comming out hahaha : oyyy )
Hope i helped!

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
I have 11 girls, 9 BM and two MOH's. I don't have a set price point but I know I can't afford to splurge.
I will be giving them all a pretty picture frame and they will have individual pics taken the day of by the photographer and probably flip flops for the day of.
I will also be getting my MOH something extra like diamond earrings (maybe hoops from like Macy's) If it's in my budget I will do monogramed tote bags.
My girls aren't even expecting anything, they are just happy to be walking in my wedding.
Don't go crazy if you can't afford it especially not on stuff that they may not even use.
Good luck!

Re: for girls with very large bridal parties...
fh i think is getting his guys either coach wallets or money clips.. its funny cause those are the 2 most popular groom gifts! i dont know if fh wants to give them a little something else with the wallet or money clip, but for the guys i think 1 thing is enough.. lol!!
its funny how us girls go crazy and we give the girls more than ONE thing and the guys always get only ONE thing.. haha!
