Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
I have 8 girls, I'm trying to stay around $75ish, but I might go a little over.
I got them tote bags with their names on them and so far a pearl necklace. I want to also get them earrings to match (pearl studs). I just have to find them for the right price!
Then I'll probably throw some flip flops in the bag for the reception and maybe some lip glosses and stuff. . . nothing too crazy.

I actually don't have a bridal party at all (just my sister as MOH), but I've been in a million weddings so I'll give you my 'expert'advice.
Usually DOJ, pashmina and some gift that isn't 'just for the wedding' like a tote bag/jewelry bag embroidered with my name. One bride gave the DOJ and then got us all something special on her honeymoon in Belize. I liked that one a lot. Oh and some gave flip flops, or other cute comfy shoes that match the BP dresses so we can change into them.
I never expect much and am always pleased so don't overextend yourself, everyone knows weddings are expensive. They are there because they love you not for the gift. My advice - go cheap!
But at handwritten sappy 'why I love and appreciate you' card is the best part of the BP gifts.
No you are def. right, i too have been in at least 8 weddings and i've gotten the same stuff. They will def. appreciate it no matter what, I know I always did!

Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
Tell me about it- I have 10 girls and 6 guys. I have been debating this for months and still am clueless. I wanted to spend 100 each but that is $1000 and that is just insane. I don't think out of any of the BP's I have been in- I have gotten a gift worth more than 40 or 50- except my brothers and my MOH. I have been scouting this site for ideas for months

Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
I have 14 girls (which includes my 2 FGs). I've spent about $50 each on the 12 girls so far and got them a nice earring and necklace set from Lia Sophia. I still have to get the FG gifts. I would love to spend more, but 14 people is a lot, and I'm so strapped for cash.
Anyway, so I think if you spend around $50 - $75, you should be good.
I've been in a few weddings, and honestly, I never cared about the gift - meaning, I could care less if the bride and groom got me one. To me, just being in the wedding was enough, and I didn't need a gift.

Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
Yea it doesn't seem like alot of money each until you have to multiply it by however many people are in your BP...yikes!? I bought my girls watches and Earrings for the day of which ended up costing about $125 each, a bit more than I could afford at the moment but I just thought to myself after all my girls did for me for my Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party and the help they gave for my wedding they definitely deserve it

Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
I have 8 in the bridal party and three flower girls.
I got each of the BM's a personalized champagne flute that has their name, title ( bridesmaid, maid of honor etc) and the wedding date. I am filling them with m&m's in my colors that are personalized...they say'Val's Crew' and the wedding date one color and ' Thank you' on the other color with the date. I just don't know what I'm giong to wrap them with yet but I will figure it out.
Also for my MOH and one bridesmaid that is VERY VERY involved int he bridal shower and bachelorette party planning, basically planning and paying for much of it..I am taking them for massages the day before the wedding.

Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
Go to a Coach outlet and you can get them for dirt cheap. I went to one in Niagara Falls last month, and found them for $20! Did I grab a bunch? Of course not! I grabbed 4 for my JBM's and daughters. I even found a mini-tote for $25! I went to The Crossings in PA this past weekend, and they had them for around $25 dollars. So, search around.
I have 1 MOH, 8 BM's, 2 JBM's and 2 FG's. I bought them t-shirts, some Coach wristlets, rented a party bus for a Girls Night, and DOJ. I could have had two extra limos lol I love them all though. They are so deserving!

Re: Girls who have a large bridal party
I have 10 girls and I spent like $150 on each of them. I totally sshouldn't have done this. Sigh. At the time I had the money, but now as we get closer I feel like having spent that much is making me sweat over other things I need to buy. I'm sure in the end it will all work out and I'll be glad to have gotten them nice things, but at this moment I am feeling a little bit:
