i spent about $200 per BM...i paid for their hair, makeup, and then got them tote bags with their names embroidered, jewelry boxes with their initials engraved, BM tank tops, and slippers to wear the night of.

ummm....I guess it'll be around $100 or so...

getting each a Coach wristlet, their jewelry for the wedding, and hair/mu if they choose to do it - most are going to their own stylists, though.

I might throw in a small bottle of cologne, too...like 'Happy' (Clinique)

I spent a little over $100 on each of them and $150 for my MOH. Everyone said that I was nuts and spent too much...you do what you feel is comfortable! I ended up buying them their jewlery and a jewlery box with their name on it!

I don't think you're being cheap at all. I've been in many weddings (and none of them cheap!) and this is about what was spent on gifts for the BP.

Yes, they deserve a nice gift, but I think people go overboard (and it's rarely fully appreciated).

I'm spending about $150-$200 on the girls. They are being very generous by throwing me a shower at a very nice restaurant and going all out for a bachelorette party.

I got them personalized totes, bath and body works bathrobe and slippers, their day of jewlery, Bath and body works day at the spa basket, $50 Victoria Secret gift cards and Henri Bendel candels and personalized make-up bags.

You don't have to go all out. You give what you can

I should also mention that I get a nice discount on the Bath and Body and VS items. FH works for the comany
