girls giving jewelry to bm

If you are giving jewelry for your girls to wear that day, are you telling them ahead of time? I was planning on giving it at the rehearsal dinner but what if they already buy something?

I didn't tell them but they were smart enough to figure it out- I only got them each a bracelet so they can each wear their own earrings and necklace.

I would tell them that you want to help them select the jewelry (maybe say that you want them to match or something to throw them off) and then give it to them as your gift.

I didnt tell them either but I think they got the clue after I asked them if they liked white or yellow gold better!! I got them lockets

I was wondering the same thing. I want it to be a surprise, but I don't want them to stress about finding jewelry to wear.

I am giving it to them at the rehearsal din. I also paid for their dresses so the jewelry is a surprise but I never thought of them buying something else. Hope they kept the receipts!

I told them that I was getting them jewelry so they don't run out and buy them. Then they asked me what kind? I said it'd be a surprise.

ETA: in addition to the jewelry, I plan on giving something small as a surprise.

i didnt tell them that i bought them earrings and necklace sets from my cousin as part of their gift. she does an awesome job. i gave it to them at the rehearsal dinner as part of their gift. i guess they were smart enough to figure it out too, no one bought their own.

I am also going to give the gift at the rehearsal dinner. I don't plan on telling them. I feel like most BMs expect jewelry as the gift - every wedding I've been in, we were given jewelry. I'm assuming they're not going to go out and buy jewelry and would just wear something of their own if they didn't get jewelry from me. If I hear them maybe talking about how they need to find jewelry for the dress, then maybe I'd mention something to them about how that's 'taken care of.'

I kind of hinted that that's what I was going to do and to my knowledge, no one went out and bought any.

When I was a bridesmaid and they gave us DOJ she gave it to us at the rehearsal dinner. We had no idea and we loved it. I think it's fine to wait unless you hear someone mentioning buying jewelry you may want to say...hold off on that!
