Re: How much are you spending on BP gifts?

I want to try and keep it to about $65-$75. I don't want to go crazy but I don't want to look cheap either.

I am most likely paying for their hair and then getting them jewelry sets.

Re: How much are you spending on BP gifts?

It depends on the relationship you have honestly. My three BM's were my cousins; they were in the wedding because when I tred to have JUST a MOH, my mother hada fit and it was WWIII.

They are all under 20 years of age; youngest was 15. So they did NOTHING for me....didn't plan my shower, my bach. party...didn't come because they were UNDERAGE! Even on the day of..nada..they never even seemed interested despite me trying to involve them. So I didn't want to give them expensive gifts.

I ended up giving each girl a 5 dollar shower gel and 3 dollar exfoliating gloves (Bath and Body works semi annual sale is AWESOME for this stuff!) and then little mirrors from TheKnot or WeddingChannel-forget which, that was engraved with their name. Ten bucks apiece on sale plus shipping.

MY MOH got all of that and MUCH more. I actually got her a customized makeup bag from bagettes.com. She LOVED IT! It was only 20 dollars plus shipping and it has your pictures on it front and back-I did a collage design for both sides. She is always carting her makeup around in cheap bags so I thought it would be a nice gift.

Honestly I am doing everything myself. Except my sister throwing me my shower. So I got my bridesmaid something small from victoria secret.

Now my sister I'm not sure but think I am getting her something from Tiffany's she deserves it.

Re: How much are you spending on BP gifts?

I only have 4 and I think I will end up spending about $100 each on them.....but I'm spreading out the purchases so it doesn't seem like so much....

ETS: b/w dress, shower, wedding, gifts, hotel, travel, etc, I figure they will be spending at least $500 to be in the wedding, which is crazy....this is the least I can do!

Re: How much are you spending on BP gifts?

i spent about $15 on each girl...but i got an extra gift for my moh...so hers came to about $40

Re: How much are you spending on BP gifts?

i have 1 MOH, 10 BMs, 2 Jr. BMs and 3 FGs.
FH has 1 BM, 8 GMs.

we are probably going to spend 100 for the BMs , Jr. BMs, FGsand GMs than 150 for the MOH and BM.

Re: How much are you spending on BP gifts?

I'm not spending too much on my bm's....because they've been very difficult and are not helping at all......actually, 2 are more supportive than the other 2......so i was thinking of getting nicer things for 2.....really nice things for my 2 sisters....and then just normal things for the other 2........but if i do that, i don't want to give it to them till after the wedding, as a thank you.
