Re: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AND SPENDING...

we are spending $35-$40 per person. We are paying for mostly everything ourselves, so as much as we would like to splurge on them we can't afford it.

We got the BM their DOJ and a small picture frame, and GM engraved beer mugs and money clips (we will probably put some scratch offs in there)

Groomsmen...no idea yet!

Bridesmaids...I spent about $40 each. I have 10 so it gets kinda expensive. I did a whole beach theme: tote bag, flip flops, beach mat, a cup that is freezable, and a small beach-basket. Then I also got them some jewelry...necklace and earrings from macys.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AND SPENDING...

I went to Tri county flea market and had necklaces made ,they were 40$ each. We also got the BM's coach wristlets 55$ tote bags 15$ and custom Haviana flip flops $30. For the groomsmen FI has no idea yet.... possibly tickets to a hockey game next season but I thought another alternative would be nice sunglasses.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AND SPENDING...

I got them a necklace and earring set from Paradise Bridal in Patchogue. They sell Jewelry called Mariell that you can only buy in stores. I've seen the same jewelry in other bridal salons so you can get Mariell there too. I also got them silver clutches for the day of. All together I probably spent a little over $100 for each girl except MOH, I also bought her a sparkly comb for her hair. And my FSIL who is doing my hair, I'm going to buy her a Victoria's Secret gift card in addition to her gift.

Mariell Jewelry

For the GM we bought money clips that had a really cool design and got the guy's initials engraved on them. The best man is also getting these hot cufflinks that we found at Macy's.

The flower girl is getting a heart locket with an engraving on the back and a Build a Bear Flower Girl Lamb which my mother and I had a lot of fun making last week.

The ring bearer (my nephew) is getting a St. Christopher necklace with engravings and a Mickey Mouse toy with wheels.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AND SPENDING...

I got annoyed with FH because he was indecisive and then ended up spending more on the guys than I did on the girls. I got all the girls the same thing

-Land's End tote with their name on it
- Jewelry set (Necklace and earrings) from Macy's. Marked $100. About $35 on a big sale
-Engraved compact from Things Remembered
-Silver flip flops from Old Navy
and the two MOHs got really pretty hair clips to wear day of.

I guess all together I spent like $105ish on each girl. My MOHs were a bit more because of the hairclip and they had way more engraving on their compacts, so they were closer to $150.

FH was all conflicted and didn't like any of my suggestions, I had said liquor, whiskey rocks, things remembered, and then in the end, he ended up getting all of the above.

For everyone we got them a set of whiskey rocks and a tetris ice cube tray

For the Best Man we got an expensive bottle of wine, engravedwine stoppers and coasters from things remembered, and a wine aerator.

For the Head Usher who is not a drinker but loves to grill, we got a whole case of stuff from Omaha Steaks and for the keepsake gift we got him a personalized padfolio (like most of our bridal party, he's an attorney)

For one GM - We got a bottle of his favorite bourbon and an engraved poker set

For the other GM we got a bottle of scotch and a se t of engraved glasses.

FH also spent over $100 on each GM, probably closer to $250 including the whiskey rocks and ice tray, well over $200 on the Best Man.

For readers, we got his aunt a $25 gift card to Macy's and I got my friend a personalized pub sign since he brews his own beer. With shipping it was under 60 bucks.
