I so AGREE!! I wont be getting monogramed anything or tote bags, or flip flops.

What I am doing is going to the Coach outlet and getting each girl a bag that fits her personality.

Lol I'm the total opposite! I'm putting their names on everything, making it as totally personalized as possible.

I've never been in a wedding party and only have my best friend and FSIL in mine. My best friend has everything in the world already (she works part time at coach just so she can get whatever she wants!) and my FSIL isn't really expecting anything (apparently this isn't as big a deal in NC where she lives). So, basically, I want to get them the cutest little personalized stuff I can come up with that they might actually use. I love the idea of personalized makeup bags because I would use that as well. I am *definitely* getting them all personalized flasks. They're going to really like them (IMO).

I still say do whatever you want. Hope you find what makes you happy!

What about cute pjs-- Victoria's Secret is having there semi annual sale in June and I bet you can get some great deals.

Robe's is another one.

Gift Certificate for manicures

clutches for the wedding-- you can get some great deals in the 30s and 6th ave

shawls

I don't know how original those are... but I thought I'd give it a shot.

You are getting alot! I can't afford it but you are very generous.

One of the things I am doing is paying for their manicures and pedicures the wedding. I am having someone come to the hotel room the night before when we are all together, Like a little spa party

Re: what to get BM'S

So far I've gotten my girls the following:

Tote bags
Makeup cases
Jewelry pouches
Makeup brush kit
Lip gloss kit
Bath products kit (MOH's only)
Double picture frame - I'm going to put and old picture of me with each one of my BM's on one side and leave the other side blank for their choice of pic from the wedding.

And I've only spent $30 per girl so far!

Still want to buy:
Isotoner ballet slippers
DOJ

I also might buy them something else like a robe or something...depends on finances.

ETA: My girls also have the option of free mani/pedis. My sister (MOH) is a manicurist

I was thinking of getting all of my BMs Juicy sweatsuits. I got a black Juicy suit for 40% off over the holidays. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will go back on sale before my wedding.

I was thinking about giving my girls their hair, makeup, and then an overnight tote filled with all the supplies for a girls night, pj's, wine, etc.
