Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

I've only been a BM twice - once 10 years ago and I think I got the jewelry. The other one we got personalized photo albums.

If all the girls are so different, get each one a different gift. They don't all have to get the same gift.

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

I gave mine jewelry rolls from Red Envelope (similar to the picture), but I have in the past received a monogrammed robe, which I really like, and my MOH once received a wrap-a-round towel that was monogrammed that she really likes as well. I thought that was cute too. Good luck!

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

A wrap to match my bridesmaid dress... monogramed with my initials. it was great because it was a chilly day and much appreciated. she also gave us all matching handbags for the day...both were appreciated because the dress was a hard to match color.... i still use the wrap!

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

I was a BM in my cousins wedding back in 1996 and she gave me a discman that I loved. I guess today's version would be an ipod.

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

Im not into jewlery, so my Best friend, when I was her MOH gave me a basket of Bath & Body works stuff and a bunch of local restaurant gift cards. THE BEST!

The worst: jewlery that I never wear again, anything monogrammed.

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

i have only gotten jewelry which is always nice

i want to get my girls some type of wrap to wear that day - hopefully something they can use again but i dont know - everything i find is pretty wedding specific. . . like those white fur ones. . . i am sure my girls won't want to wear that out to dinner one night with a pair of jeans!!!! lol

all my girls love coach so that is always an option - Jenn if you read this. . please disregard what i just wrote and forget all these ideas :) dont want to ruin the surprise!

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

i've never been a bridesmaid!! my first time will be 4 months after my wedding. so far i got the girls swarovski earrings (nothing too too fancy so they can wear them any time they get a lil dressed up). i also wanted to get them coach makeup bags but am up in the air because i'm not impressed with the colors that are available. but my thought was the earrings, a coach makeup bag and the vera wang love knots silver compact mirror.
i wanted to get my sister a little something else too because not only is she my sis but my MOH. can't decide what though.
and my flower girl... i am at a loss.
i am going to get them all picture frames too, but that will be down the line when i get my photos back - i will have one with all the girls put in a frame for each of them.

Re: What's the best gift you've received as a bridesmaid?

I got my girls robes so far. They are really soft and they fall just above the knee. I also got the jewelry.
Thinking about adding a personalized jewelry box or the Cross pen personalized from Things Remembered. I recently got a small vase that I have no place to put. My friend's brother is ordering the IPod shuffles for his groomsmen. He is getting the bigger one and they are about $100, I think that's a great gift.
