Is this a good idea? (DO NOT LOOK KRISTY YOU MOH LURKER)

I was planning on getting my girls something from Tiffany for like $150-$200, but I can't decide on anything.... now I'm thinking about getting each of them a coach wristlet and putting a little card inside that says, 'Thanks for everything! Your hair and makeup is paid for!'

What do you girls think?

Well if you do, I'm totally going to accuse you of stealing my idea, b/c I'm getting married first

To be honest i am not a fan of that idea because i dont feel that is a gift for the BMs. I see it as you are paying for their hair and makeup to make sure they have it done for your wedding. Not all BMs get there hair and make up done by the person the bride is using and sometimes they dont get both done.

If i were a BM i wouldnt want that. Id prefer something i could use again or wear again rather then that. Id rather pay for my hair and make up myself.

I'd prefer hair and makeup. Think about how broke they all will be by the day of your wedding.

Personally, I might also, but 2 of my BM (I only have 4) wear the same jewelry EVERY day and I know they won't wear whatever I buy... Hmmmm...

I'm going to be completely honest....the wristlet is an awesome idea.....I don't think that paying for hair/makeup should really ever be a 'part of' a BM/MOH's gift, replacing another gift with it. I just feel that if they don't want to get their hair/makeup done and/or can't afford it, that it's not fair for them (think of all they spend for OUR day) to not get a gift that they can keep/reuse. This is just MY feelings on it and I totally think you are so kind and generous for wanting to do that for them!!!

Mine are all getting it done by choice (I asked them all first and they're all in - and they think they're paying for it) and I'd be giving them the wristlet so that they have a memento of the day. Still no good?

What about if I also include one of my boudoir pics for them in the wristlet, probably a close up of my hiney? Would that change your opinions?

Most definitely...Thats something they can treasure for the rest of their lives

I have a lot of guilt b/c they're insistant on having my shower (a surprise) out at a place and I know its going to cost them $$ so I figure that I could at least help them out w/paying for the hair/makeup, which they THINK they're paying for... it would be nice surprise 2 days before the wedding... but I'll think on it. Thanks for the input girls!

No Heather...I suggest you get an 8X10 pic of your hiney and put it in a frame for your BM!

No seriously...if all of your girls said they want to get their makeup done I think it would be a great surprise when they look inside their wristlets and find out that they don't have to pay.

Honestly still no good lol. ALl of mine are getting it done by choice also and i had a hard time coming up with something that they all would like but after much though i did it lol. I wanted to get something for all of them that i know they would all love and i think i accomplished that. They will all know i put alot of thought into their gifts. They all got the same thing but even though they all have different personalities the gifts are perfect for them. If you want to know what i am getting them you can FM me. I just dont like posting on here cuz u never know who is reading

I agree. Anna, if you want I can also get you an 8x10, or even a poster size. Please let me know.
