So, I've got 18 days left and no gifts for anyone - who are we supposed to get gifts for?

MOH (I don't have any bridemaids)
Best Man
Ushers
Parents? (who gives gift - do we each give one?)
Readers

who else?

And what should we get them???

As if I don't already have enough stuff to do ... aaaaack!!!

I got:

My parents: A gift certificate for a dinner cruise in NYC . My FH does not want to get his parents anything really, and my parents helped ALOT.

My BMs and MOH: a bag from Lands End with their initials embroidered on them, a pearl jewelery set, some soap and a journal.

GMs and Best Man: My FH got them a silver tool sort of gift LOL not really sure - got it at Things Remembered.

Readers: $25 gift certificate to Yankee Candle.

We are buying for the same, but added my two grandmothers since my mother passed away a few years ago.

Fathers - watches

FMIL - White gold and diamond filigree (sp) earings

Grandmothers - Pearl and diamond necklaces

MOH and BM's - Massage, manicure and pedicure plus a few other things that I am putting together for them

BM and GM - Engraved Beer Mug (FH loves his and insists that all his friends need one) and a gift card to either Best Buy, Restaurant, etc. depending on who the gift is for.

Readers - Haven't decided yet, but they will get something nice too...

I agree with what the FutureMrsTC says. It's always nice to show some appreciattion in those that helped contribute to your special day. Gift Certificates work well for everyone...especially to places they enjoy...even restaurants.
