How Much did every spend (or is planning on spending)... updated with one more question

On Gifts for your BMs and GMs.

We have a VERY large bridal party, 27 people. And I want to get really nice things for everyone. But I dont want to break the bank either.

Those of you who have already purchased how much did you spend on gifts and what did you get, if you dont mind me asking.

I plan to start shopping next friday (Black Friday) so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

ETA: I should also ask how many in everyone Bridal Party, how many of each.

Thanks In Advance

Re: How Much did every spend (or is planning on spending)

We are spending about $75-$100.

For the the BM's we got a coach wristlet, pearl necklace, pearl bracelets, and pearl earrings. I want to pick up one more thing as well. For my sister who is my MOH, I would like to her something extra. Maybe a jewelry box or something.

For the GM's we got them ipod shuffles and FH wants to pick up something else too. For our BM we got him an ipod nano.

Re: How Much did every spend (or is planning on spending)

I bought them their dresses. I did this because the dresses I chose were all $230-$250 and I felt bad asking them to pay that much. So I'm spending a buttload on gifts because it's 8 dresses. Comes to $1,900 I think. It's worth it though...It's a big weight off their chest and I was able to order them all at once. Also I got 15% off because I bought my dress there. I'll also get them some jewelry, but I get it wholesale so it will probably cost me for all 8 of them, no more than $50. I knew I was going to do this, and budgeted for it.

Re: How Much did every spend (or is planning on spending)

I spent a little over 100 for each girl. I got them each a Vera Bradley tote bag and filled it with a Coach wristlet; totes Umbrella; personalized cosmetic bag filled with lotions and body sprays from Bath and Body Works and a personalized compact mirror.

ETA: we haven't done GM gifts yet but we're thinking a bottle of their favorite liquor and personalized glasses. FH also likes the idea of a pocketwatch.
