Re: How much are you spending on BM gifts

So far I bought them each a different necklace to wear the day of--found them at TJ Maxx for $20-$25. I'm still trying to figure what else to give them....

Re: How much are you spending on BM gifts

i'm really having a tough time deciding what to get my BM.. i'm glad i still have a few more months.

my problem isn't so much the money. It's that all my BM's are older then me. My sister (one of my MOH) is 28, the other MOH is 21.. they don't really like the same things. even for jewelry to wear the day of i dont kno wif i should have them wear the same thing or not.

but at least its my wedding so i can go all crazy and bridezilla on them if i really want to and just MAKE them wear anything i want

sorry to go offtopic there.. but anyway, i was thinking around 75ish on each of them. maybe 100-125 on my MOHs tho

I spent about $100.... I got each girl a Coach wristlet, jewelry for wedding and paid for their shoes.

DH spent about $100 each.....He got them each a watch and DVD which depicts his relationship with each of them.

I am thinking of getting the girls Tiffany's necklace that they can wear the day of the wedding. I attached it.

Re: How much are you spending on BM gifts

I spent about $65.00 on each, I would have spent more, but I had 8 girls to buy for. I think anywhere from $50.00 to $75.00 is good. Otherwise, if you see somthing for a good price and you think the girls would like it and it happens to be less, then get them that an maybe earrings or something else with it.

Re: How much are you spending on BM gifts

I got them jewelry to wear for the wedding. I have 3 BM's and I got them each sterling silver chandalier earrings ($20 at Lord and Taylor) and sterling silver amethyst and marchasite bracelets ($45 at Macy's). Everything I bought was 1/2 off- I just waited for a sale. I also got them these silver engraved tissue boxes with mirrors for their purses($10- Lillian Vernon). I will probably get my MOH a framed picture of the two of us.
