Is This a Good BM Gift?

I was originally going to get them a satin purse dyed to match their dress and put an engraved compact in it; but now I'm thinking this might be more practical. It's a canvas tote from Lands End - Iwould get it monogramed for them. I like the natural canvas with tan straps - what do you think?

I'd be happy to get that! for the last wedding I was in the bride gave us bags to match our dresses, and I think all of us went and exchanged them for a more practical color (black) so your second idea might be a better one!

I would use the toet way more than an evening bag.

I got my girls something similiar from lands end but it is denim and khaki and had one big arm strap ( which I didn't realize till i got them) more like a beach bag. They were in overstock and cost $16.50 each with their first name on it in red. They did a great job. I was almost going to get the same one as you but with 7 girls it was a little too much $. I filled them with a manicure set, mini change purse in red from OPI filled with 4 mini nail polishes, makeup bag filled with lip gloss, quick nail polish remover wipes, matchbook nail files, Coach wallets from Ebay, a necklace & earrings for the wedding day and a $50 gift certificate from Bath and Body works.

I would definatly love getting the tote for a gift!

I would definetely get more use out of that bag than a matching evening bag. Love it.

What an awesome idea! I love the bag. And the fact that they can use it far beyond the wedding is so cool!

Re: Is This a Good BM Gift?

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA. I WAS THINKING SOMETHING SIMILAR when i was in the NINEwest outlet in Riverhead. I was thinking of getting them a nice leather bag - they were have a sale 30% percent off all bags sale. Or custom jewelry to wear that day. or both depending on how cheap I can get the jewelry for.
I like the tan bag too.
