gift ideas for maid of honor, bridemaids & flowergirl?
I'm wondering what different people gave as gifts for their bridal party. My bridesmaids are all very different people. I am thinking of jewelry but do not know where to look for beautiful, yet affordable jewelry. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks!

i was having the same problems...i ended up doing this:
MOH - My oldest and closest friend (so i spent a good amount on her) green jade necklace from tiffany
BM's - I got them each a pair of murano hand blown glass earings, all the same but different colors. They are gorgeous but were only $30 each
FG's - Don't have any
Then i found a vendor on ebay that personalizes totebags, so they are each getting a large black canvas totebag with their nickname on the front and then a pair of old navy sandals that will match the dresses for their sore feet at the party.
Oh and I also am paying for a portion of their makeup for the day of. I'll edit the post with pics in a few!

If you want to go for jewelry, the best route to go is pearls because they look beautiful on everyone and are classic. Try kohls (surprisingly) and jcpenny.
at the engagement party, when I ask moh and bms to be in my bridal party, i will be giving them:
a tote filled with bath salts, body wash, body lotion, and bubble bath in the scent they love, a loofa, a robe, pajamas that say moh/bm whatever they are, the will you be my bridesmaid card, and a personal note.
at the rehearsal dinner, i will be giving them:
a tote filled with a shawl and pearl earrings for the wedding, and a thank you note.
the flower girls will be getting:
a tote filled with a book about being a flower girl, a gift certificate to build-a-bear, and pajamas that say flower girl.
HTH.

Sounds great! Where did you get the hand-blown glass earrings from Murano? Is there a store that sells them, or did you get them on a recent trip to Italy? (BTW, I LOVE Murano!)

Wow! You are going all out! You are a very organized person aren't you? Where did you get the book about being a flower girl? Since it sounds like you have amazing ideas, I'd like to ask something else: I have a junior bridesmaid (she just turned 9). What do you think I should do with her present? Should her gift be similar to the adult bridesmaids or lean more toward her childhood?
