how much are you spending

on your bridesmaid gift? And what did you get? All my girls want there hair and or make-up done, its $75 each, and I was thinking of making up like a little gift certificate and giving them that as a gift to pay for one of the services the day of, not sure if its too much or not enough?

Re: how much are you spending

i have 5 girls.. so i figure at 75 each it works out to be 375.. I had thought that 50 was what i was going to spend.. but i thought this is something that i know they want, and i think its going to be more then they planned on spending, and instead of buying them something they don't need, maybe give them something they want??

I think the makeup or hair is a great idea...I'm sure they'll be happy w/that.

I have seven girls and got them:
1. their BM dresses
2. Peronalized totes
3. flip flops
4. DOJ

And I got my sisters, who are my matron of honors - mani/pedi gift certificates.

i think its a great idea to pay for either hair or makeup. if you wanted to do both then go for it!! i spent $50 for 7 girls. if i had 5 girls, i probably would do the hair/ makeup...but its your choice!!!!

I spent about $75 on each girl so far, which includes:

1. Personalized Tote Bag
2. DOJ
3. Bath & Body Work Pumpkin Bath Set - Bath Gel, Body Lotion, Spray & Body Puff
4. Flip Flops to match their dresses
5. Chiffon Wraps to go with their dresses

I have 6 BM's & 1 junior BM.

Then I plain on taking whoever spends the night before the wedding with me for a mani/pedi...
I plan on bringing a few bottles of champagne to the nail salon to drink while getting all prettied up! LOL

Re: how much are you spending

I kinda lost count, let's see $40 DOJ, $15 totes, $3 cosmetic bag, $4 room and body spray from Bathn body works, $2 slippers, $5 frame for scrapbook page. I wanted to pay for their hair and make-up too, but when I saw the numbers, So I think I will just pay for my sis's (MOH) hair and make-up and be done! It really depends on your budget and how large a BP.
