nah i think it will be much apprieciated!
@Ngolden1: If I still owed money for a dress and in the end had it gifted to me, I'd be delighted! How practical...essentially, you're freeing up $120 of their money for them. Plus, hair on top of it all? You're fab!
I think they'll love it and probably appreciate it more than just about anything else you could get them!
That sounds like a great plan.
Just be sure to give them a card with a heartfelt "thank you for being there for me" note at the rehearsal dinner or the day of the wedding :)
@Miss Chapstick: I will definatley give them a heart-felt card! I've heard a lot of people say that the gift shouldn't only pertain to the wedding, because then it's really a gift to yourself. Whether this is true, it does make me want to add something else - since the dress and hair are required for the wedding. Maybe a framed picture of us also?
@Ngolden - I think the the heartfelt card and hair and dress are all you need honestly. I understand what your saying about a gift pertaining to the wedding, but not asking them to pay for a 120.00 dress is gift enough IMO.

I have two BMs who kept promising to send me the check for their dresses...which I fronted the $120 each for. I think they had every intention of doing it, but as they live far away and have a lot going on, they just forgot. Now the wedding is five weeks away. I don't have any amazing ideas for BM gifts. I did promise them initially to pay for their hair. So what if I just say, don't worry about reimbursing me..I'll make the dress and hair your gift. Will that be a nice way to go? Or will it seem like their gift is an after-thought since I originally intended for them to pay me back?
