Opinions PLEASE, sorry its long.

I have been racking my brain trying to think of BM gifts. I'm stressing over it now because I want the gifts to be nice and want to start buying them this year so I can afford them. I think I thought of everything I want to give. The problem is I'm an undecisive and can't ask any of my friends for their opinions becaue they are in the BP. So please read below and give me your honest opinions on wether you think they will like them, especially on the pic frame. TIA, i really appreciate it.

The gift will include:

Jewelry roll. These are traveling cases for jewelry. Most of my girls travel.

Two sided pic frame. I can type a personal message on pretty paper for one side and the other side I'll leave for a pic of her or of us the day of the wedding. (not sure if this is too cheesy)

DOJ set

Bridesmaid Hoodie.

Ballet slippers to change into for the reception.

Mini emergency kits for day of. Like safety pins, clear nail polish, tampons, and travel size pain killers. ( I might just make one big kit for the whole BP)

Free Vera Bradley note pad box.

Tote bag to be used instead of gift bags to put everything in.

For two of my BM (I consider them sisters) and MOH I'm going to get a bottle of their favorite perfume. I will give to them this seperate so the rest of the BP doesn't see that I got them something extra.

For MOH (my sister), in addition to above, I am going to take her to a spa for a day of pampering and get her a nicer DOJ set.

The gift is everything listed. Please be honest if you think they will like this. Should I add something or change something?

i think you should go for the DOJ set and if you have money left over get them the barry case to put the jewelry in

The gift would be everything listed.

Although a bride jumpsuit would be really nice for you, they are NEVER going to wear a bridesmaid hoodie again. I honestly think it is a waste of money.

Jewelery they will wear again. Jewelry case they can use again, go with that type of stuff.

Thats what I was thinking. I was planning on getting small iron ons to put on the front. The same spot companys normally put their logos. Do you think they would wear that again, or you still think I shouldn't bother?

wow thats a lot!! Can i be your BM?


I'm paying for their deposits on their dresses (not really a gift, i'm doing it bc ive been engaged before and they had paid their deposits and then we canceled the dresses lol)


prob DOJ, hair & make up for the day of, and something else. not sure what yet.

no way! super cute! when i asked my girls to be my BM i made a photo album on shutterfly, and on the last page i had a really cute poem and at the end asked them. They thought it was adorable. Sentimental things like that, or your picture frame are always awesome gifts no matter what!

ITA! I've been in like 5 weddings and all I ever got was DOJ (probably around $35). I want to be your BM!

I'm planning on getting my girls DOJ. I already got them a Bridesmaid tote to use the day of from oriental trading. Not sure if I'm doing anything else. No one ever paid for my hair/nails/gown when I was a BM for them so I guess I don't have that obligation

WOW! That's a ton of stuff. Very nice gesture for them. I agree with the other ladies that said to really narrow it down to things that the will definately use again. If you are really set on the hoodie set, instead of getting an iron on, how about finding a pin or something that says bridesmaid and then they can just remove it and still use the hoodie after?

Otherwise very nice. When I was MOH in my friend wedding I got the DOJ, that's about it. No complaints on my part.

For my wedding I only have my MOH and I am buying her bridesmaids dress and giving her a gift card for the lady that does professional photos of her kids.

The pin is a good idea. I just want to get the hoodie because all but one of the girls are always cold and they never dress warm enough. I actually carry extra hoodies and sweater in my car for them. I figured they will be warm while we are all getting ready. Thanks for the idea!!!

No problem! I'm sure you can find an etsy vendor that will make them custom. You can use your wedding colors, etc. And when it's all over, they can take it off and keep it as a keepsake! You are very thoughtful of your bridal party and that will really shine through to them!
