    Hi Bees,

    Ok, so this is probably a silly question but here goes. I'm not really sure what to get for our attendants (my girls or his guys) nor am I sure how much we should be spending on the gifts. What are you all planning to give your girls? Are you giving them each something individualized to them or giving them all the same thing? Did you have a budget in mind when you started looking at gifts (and what was it?). FI and I are paying for the majority of the wedding expenses ourselves (my parents did make a financial contribution but the rest is up to us).

    Any ideas are appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Bella

    I did similar gifts (FH is on his own for his dudes!). The ladies got a bottle of wine, a pashmina, wine charms and a clutch purse. I think the total was $30-$35 per gift. Which is where I was trying to keep it.

    I have 3 girls and I plan on making each one some sort of personalized glass (margarita, beer, or wine depending on what they drink) which I will DIY decorate.  In addition I will likely get them either a jewlery set or something along those lines and possibly a monogrammed hankerchief.  I plan on spending maybe $50 on each girl if that!

    I got each of my girls a necklace for the wedding, getting each a pashmina as well. Also getting each of them something small and individualized, and perhaps I will do personalized glasses if we have the budget. And I am going to make homemade body scrubs and host a spa party the week before the wedding with wine, good food and good friends, though this doesn't count towards gift amount...budget for each is around $20-30 without the party. I have 5, so I am doing it really slowly and ebay is my best friend!
