what are you giving your bridal party as gifts??

I can't decide. I was thinking perhaps there is a way that I can get a wish list from them.

Each of my girls has really different styles. I want to give them something they want but would never buy for themselves.

I was thinking a louis vuitton change purse or something. then my fh suggested coach-way more affordable. what are you giving your girls and guys???

I'm getting my girls their jewelery for the wedding. I would like to do something different for them but this seems to be the most practical for the wedding.

we got the bridesmaids jewelry from ChemistryBridal.com, and also got them these wristlets from coach

and dh paid for a portion of the groomsmen's tux rentals (they were on the pricey side) and got them these wallets from coach

My FH got his guys a coach wallet and money clip. I got these for my girls.. the pic is without the chain and comes with matching earrings.. the picture does not do my BM gifts justice

Since we are having such a small wedding party (1 MOH, 1 Best man, 2 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen) we are getting the guys ipod nanos or shuffles and the girls I was going to get coach wristlets.

I don't want to get them bridal jewelry because I am letting each of them pick their own cut and style of dress (they all have to have the same designer and color and fabric) but if they want different lengths and cuts I am all about that and i want them to wear what they want to wear...I don't want them all to look the same.

One of the moms I know makes jewelry from beach glass so I am getting them DOJ, but will also do something different for each girl. 2 girls would love Coach, but one would hate it. I have some time to figure it out though.

I'm going to get Marc By Marc Jacobs Totes. (very inexpensive at the MJ store in NYC, they are like 12 bucks each) Buy some fluffy bathrobes and have them monogrammed with their names (something they can lounge in while they get their hair and makeup done) and then stock up on travel size goodies from Bigelow when Bath and Body works has their big sale!
For my MOH, I'm doing something special. Probably a Helen Ficalora necklace. A charm necklace with my niece's initial

I didn't do day of jewelry (the BMs wore their own, but I dictated the general style), so I focused upon giving them practical items.

I got my BMs fleece robes, flip flops, duffel bags, tote bags, hand mirrors, Bliss spa sets, and luggage tags. I made my MOH a blanket as her extra gift.

DH got the GMs coolers and the BM a leather valet.

I love the idea of coach wristlets!!!!! Also I saw on one girls website that her bridesmaids gave her a cake in the shape of a coach bag for her bachelorette party and it was adorable!

Re: what are you giving your bridal party as gifts??

i got them jewelry sets off partytimejewelry.com - SO affordable...and it's more like costume jewelry. i didn't wanna spend a fortune on jewelry that they'd probably only wear once(i knew i wanted to incorporate the color of the dresses into the jewelry)..but they had alot of stuff to choose from.i also got them purses to match the BM dresses, and engraved heart shaped compact mirrors from theknot.com(which they all loved & all still use!) Then i got my MOH a day of hoodie outfit (since i had my soon to be mrs. hoodie) and hers read 'The best maid of honor...' on the top, and then 'EVER!!!' on the booty
