Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?

I'm going to get them a necklace and earring set and then I thought i would get them a make up bag or evening bag and put some goodies in them for the wedding day,like lipstick, tissues, hair spray,mints, a sewing kit. etc... I only have 4 girls so I guess the gift also depends on how many are in your bridal party.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?

I got them a large box filled with:

a) Plush bathrobe with their names embroided on it
b)Loofah on a Stick
c) Bathing Mit
d) Waterproof bath book
e) Body Wash and matching Lotion
f) Bath Salts
g) Bath Fizzy
h) Eye Mask
i) Sample set of stuff from Aveda
j) Large Rubber Duck
k) Nail polish, nail filers and those things you seperate your toes with
l) a few other bath items

I also got them marcasite earrings to wear with the dress and a jeweled frame.

And I don't know if you consider this a gift or not but I took them to a Broadway show for the BM luncheon.

For my MOH, I got her a little extra something special - a lady buy pin in marcasite and a marcasite watch.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?

Sonicstef - great idea about the bridal luncheon (theatre) - I'm stealing it - can we go anytime? or does it have to be just before the wedding?

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?

What I did was make a goodie bag with the following items:

Pedi and manicure sets - every one

Pix frames - all 4 girls

Bath sets - everyone

Jewelry for day of -all 4 girls (silver w/semi precious stones) definitely being worn again..LOL

Silver Key Fob with her initial - 1 bridesmaid who I thought did not like silver...when she saw that everyone else got bracelets, she said she would have worn it...

Silver bracelets with a heart charm with their initial - the other 3

My MOH got a nice calla lily vase from Mikasa

I treated everyone to a pedi and mani the day before the wedding.

I also hosted a Bridesmaid luncheon for all of them.

I have now given each girl a of pix of her and I from the wedding day.

They were the best BMs and MOH a girl could ever have, they were all worth it.
