Re: Where are the November Brides???
What gifts are you giving to your bridal party? FH and I have been having somewhat of a hard time deciding what to get.

Re: Where are the November Brides???
I got my girls necklace sets & i'm going to get my MOH something from Tiffanys. As far as the GM. things remembered has a set of four beer glasses that we thought were nice. Since they are all drinkers.
Very pretty necklaces!!! They're going to love them. So far, I bought the bridesmaids a necklace and earing set from the 1928 collection at Macy's. It matched the girl's dresses perfectly. But I wanted to do something else. I was thinking of buying them each a Vera Bradely bag in a different color for each girl.
My FH was thinking of buying the guys gold tie tacks. He really liked that idea. They're going to cost abouot $50-$60. I just didn't think they were worth that $$$, but I guess they are since they are 14K gold.

Re: Where are the November Brides???
Janine, I love the Wedding Barbie idea for the FG. How cute!
I was thinking of getting my FG, who is also my niece, a gold locket with our picture in it (if I can get a picture that small to put in the locket) and a jewlery box.
I have no idea what to give to our parents. We want to do something really nice and special for them , but I'm still uncertain. I was thinking about sending my parents to Mohegan Sun for a weekend or maybe to Montauk because they love it out there so much. But for his parents, we have no clue!
Any suggestions???

Re: Where are the November Brides???
For us, 3 out of 4 parents are deceased, but we have Aunts & Uncles that are taking different roles. For my Aunts, I bought them each a matching Lenox bud vase, large picture frame and votive candle holder. Then for my one Aunt who has been like my foster-mother, I also bought her a lenox trinket box that comes with a special heart pendant/necklace. For my Uncle/Godfather, we got him an engraved pocket knife which my Dad would have loved had he been alive and then we are also getting him an expensive fountain pen -- he's an attorney so he will use it often - I think I might engrave 'Not just a Godfather' on the pen.
Since FH's family is Irish, for my FMIL, we got her and his Aunt a Beleek vase and large picture frame, and then for FMIL we also got a pretty Beleek trinket box.
I hope this helps! I got some great deals online for all this stuff!
