Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
BM-Sterling silver and diamonique necklaces, jewelry boxes, gift certificate for manicure. GM-gift certificate to sports themed restaurant in NYC. FG-Flower charm in 14kt gold and chain. RB-tie tack with initials. MOH and 'acting mom of the bride'- my older sister and BIL-'acting dad of the bride'- weekend getaway for the Marriott. Not sure if we need to get his mom anything becuase she is not paying for the wedding, but will probably get her something small she has been really good about going to stores and me dragging her all over the place!

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
The new MS Weddings magazine has a bunch of cute ideas- you might want to check it out. I really like the idea of having manicures with champagne. And Stef, I agree with you 100%.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
I got my BM's and MOH all matching emerald earings and necklace that match the dress. It is a metallic green color. I also got them each a different Bath and body work lotions, sprays, and bath and shower gel. For my MOH I got her a engraved jewelery box that thanks her for being a part of my special day. For the GM my FH got them wooden CD boxes that have there names on it and a clock that is engraved for the best man.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
TOO much. I got totally carried away and spent way to much money. The guys and dad's got personalized mini silver swiss army knives, and a gift set of swiss army cologne. The girls got personalized silver jewlery boxes and white gold/diamond earrings that I sure hope they appreciate!! The moms are also getting earrings.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
Everyone has their own budget but I do agree with Sonicstef also. I have a huge bridal party that has been so involved in everything so far and has done so much for me that I would rather put more of my money into their gifts rather than limos, invitations etc. I have 2MOH that I spent $200 on but they are my sisters and 6BM's that I have spent a little over $100 on.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
I have 2 MOHs and 3 bridesmaids I got all of them red fendi bags that match their bm dresses and so that they'd be able to use the gift even after the wedding, I'm paying for their hair the day of and their hotel the night before.
Also taking them out for high tea.
It worked out to about $375 for each girl, but I figured that when all was said and done, they probably will end up spending more to be a bridesmaid in my wedding and I really wanted to give as much back in return for their efforts.

Re: What did everyone get their bridal party?
I am paying for their dresses and for their make up and hair ... should I get them also a gift too? They know that I am not 'loaded' with money, but I guess that something small would nice. Am I right?

Avesur_ I think paying for their dresses is very generous. I would give them a nice card to say thank you.

That necklace is beautiful. If you wouldn't mind, can you let me know where you go it??
I have 2 MOH and I think they would love that.
