Re: Gifts

MOH-coach wristlet, bracelet, mason jar mani/pedi kits I made and paying for her hair
Bridesmaids- same as above but minus hair
Best man- engraved leatherman, bottle of his favorite booze (fh picked out himself)
Groomsman- same as above (minus the booze)
Your parents- printing out pictures they choose after wedding. My parents don't want a full album.
His parents- album
Guests with honors: fh got his guests who have honors engraved knives. Not sure yet if we are giving honors to anyone else. If I get 2 friends I'll probably give them a bracelet.

Gifts

Not at all sure about gifts yet but these are the ideas I've come up with

MOH- No idea prob spending around $150 (same for best man)
Bridesmaids- no idea prob spending around $100 (same for groomsmen)
Best man- I found these nice cigar humidors that are mohogany with a glass top etched with their monogram or name or whatever. Then probably something extra for being best man
Groomsman- cigar humidors
Your parents- album and maybe handkerchief or jewelry/cuff links
His parents- same as mine
Readers- maybe an Alex and ani bracelet or pandora charm

Also, as a surprise for our parents were planning to have a sign framed for the wedding saying 'this wedding is dedicated to our parents who show us each day that it is possible' or something like that. :)

Re: Gifts

We’re still working on it, but this is what we have so far:

Bridesmaids- Clutch filled with misc. goodies (maybe jewelry, perfume, etc.). I am also planning to pay for their mani/pedis.

Groomsman- My fiancé recently had the idea to get small coolers for each of the guys and fill them w/ misc. food & alcohol related things (cocktail shaker, bottle of booze, etc.). Sort of the man’s version of my idea!

Parents – Personalized wine glasses for the moms + parent albums. Dads TBD.

We’re also getting personalized koozies for a bunch of people (OOT guests, bridal party, etc.). I wanted to get them as favors, but I went w/ another idea. It’s just a small add on to their gifts, but I had to have at least of few of them :) ?
