too much to give as BM gifts?

i went a little crazy this weekend buying gifts for my girls but let me know if it's too much to give.

I DID NOT pay full price for all these (i'd be majorly in debt if I did )

MOH= full size Coach bag, full size Kate Spade wallet, Kate Spade small Piggy coin purse, B&BW manicure set.

BM= full size Kate Spade wallet, Coach (mid size wristlet), B&BW manicure set

BM= Kate Spade full size wallet, Coach mini skinny (purple and silver...her favorite colors), B&BW manicure set

MOH= roughly $150 and the other girls are around $100.

i don't know what majority of people spend and $ is really tight for me right now so i don't know

i think that is fine, i spent around $160 for DOJ for each of my BM's... i figured the money they will spend on their dress, hair, etc... equals out...

very nice gifts!

I think it's never a bad thing to be generous to your bridesmaids...after all, they are your number 1's

I spent a lot on my girls (they got marc by marc jacobs tote bags, my 2 MOH's got the larger size). I figured since they spent $275 on their dresses for me, it was the least I could do..

It's good you bought their gifts early, because in those last 3 months money will get very tight, so it's good you got that finished.

ITA my girls spent a ton of money on me for shower bach party and dresses so I loveddddd going crazy for them

very thoughtful gifts!

I don't think you spent too much. I plan on spending around $150 for both my MOH's and anywhere from $75-$100 for the other girls.

I'm thinking maybe what I might do is pay for the deposit for my girl's BM dresses and then get them something small to give to them at the RD.

You did great!!! They are going to be SO thankful and happy to get all that amazing stuff!!! I don't think there is a right amount to spend on them. I bought their dresses for them which was and I caught SO much flack from my mom and others telling me it was unnecessary and outrageous. I disagreed and my girls were BEYOND thankful. So I think your gifts are great! Lucky girls!
