Re: Help...How much??
I'm spending about $80 for the BMs, $100 for my MOH. FH is taking care of the guys, so I'm not sure what he's got in mind yet.

I was thinking somewhere between $100 to $150. I'm not sure what I'm getting yet...
ditto. The Best Man and GM will probably fall a little shy of $100, the BM a little more than $100 and the MOH up near $150-200 (she did alot though!)

Re: Help...How much??
I spent a lot (probably too much ) on my BMs since I only had 3 of them, including my MOH. DH spent a good amount on his GM and BM too - over $200 each. BUT, if I had a large bridal party, I'd probably feel okay spending around $50 per person. Red Envelope has a lot of cute gifts for men and women (I've ordered from them many times) that are really well made and reasonably priced if you need some ideas. Good luck!

Re: Help...How much??
I ended up spending about $50 on each of my BMs, and about $30 on each of the guys (except for BIL, who's gift was about $50, if I remember correctly). The girls had a LOT more responsibilities than the guys did, and they were absolutely fantastic about it every step of the way. All of them LOVED their gifts: I got them short satin robes from VS, chinese slippers that matched their dresses, and then another LIW bride made me personalized hand cream and lip balm for each of the girls. I also made handmade cards for each girl with a thank you for being my bridesmaid note inside.
If you put some time, effort, and heart into the gifts, that will matter more than the money.

I spent between $100 to $150 on my BMs and about $175 to $200 on my MOH. I spent a lot on them b/c they did so much for me. They spent a lot of $ on the dress, shoes, hair, my shower, and bachelorette party. They really went above and beyond so I wanted to get them something nice.

I spent about $100 per BM about $200 on my MOH, $50 per usher and about $135 for the best man. Their gifts were proportionate to the amount of stress they had to deal with throughout the wedding process.

Re: Help...How much??
I spent a lot
MOH- $650- my sister and she really did a ton- I got her hair Japanese straighted and then the regular BM gift which was about $150
BM gift $150- my dad paid for the dress and he will also pay for hair and make up-
Groomsman gifts- Jake is paying for the tuxes and then we got them alittle something- a money clip wallet- not expensive at all- but just something to open when the BM get theirs

I spent $200 on the BM's and $325 on the MOH. But I only have 3 girls total, so it was a big deal.

We both spent $100 on each person. For the girls we got Tiffany necklaces and for the guys we got a combo of tiffany money clips, pens, keychain, and cuflinks.. everyone seemed to love the gift.

Re: Help...How much??
I spent a lot...$200 each for jewelry, $25 clutch, $10 personalized compact, about $75 each for shawls that match the dress, plus they are getting their hair paid for on the day-of. So I guess it's like $400 each after all is said and done. Phew! And I keep thinking I don't have enough for them - it helps to write it out and see it for myself! I need to stop shopping for them

We have the same situation. I have a big family and needed to include them. My fiance and I met in 7th grade and have had the same friends since then, so we wanted to have all of them also. Everyone thinks we're nuts...sometimes I think so too, but it will be really special to look back at the pics and know we had everyone we are close to with us!
