    I posted a few weeks ago with some ideas and got some great feedback.  I have since totally changed my mind and want to know what you think and if you have any suggestions!  I am getting married in May so summer will be right around the corner.  I am thinking about getting my girls beach themed gifts.  First pic is a beach tote, 2nd pic is a beach cover up dress (different colors for different girls), and the 3rd is a pic of portable mini speakers that you can plug your iphone, ipod, etc. into.  I would also put in some delicious smelling lotion, some evian water face spray, starbucks gift card (just because), big beach towel (maybe monogrammed) and (maybe) a bottle of champagne or wine.

    What do you think????

    I love the tote and the dress... the speakers- I have a set of really nice ones for the beach, and have to say- Never use them.  I think they are a great thought, and something the girls would like... and then not use.  I do have to say though, the VS dress... I have been wanting for at least 2 years.

    There's the standard flip-flops, or Ohhh... Jcrew has this really nice hat--- http://www.jcrew.com/wedding/Wedding_Bride/honeymoon/PRDOVR~74503/74503.jsp, it travels really well and is really cute.... a small cooler is always nice- and you could fill it with water and suntan lotion.

    Very cute idea. Where are the beach totes from? You could always do headbands or a magazine subscription (so they can take them to the beach).

    The beach totes are from american eagle.  I was thinking about getting them a hair thing ball.  hahaha.  I dont know what to call it, but its kind of a bouncy ball made out of hair ties.  American Eagle actually sells those too.  I know I can never have too many hair things!  Magazine subscription is a great idea too!

    I'm also having a beach wedding.. I'm on a mission for a cute tote.. but i did manage to get my girls...

    fun personalized sunglass cases (not from this etsy seller- but they look similar)

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/60952747/personalized-quilted-eyeglasssunglass?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_search_query=monogram+sunglass+case&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade

     

    I ordered these "place card holders" as picture frames in hopes each girl will put a "bridesmaid' pic in it...

    flip flop wine coasters were really cute... (I'm going to seperate them into sets of 2)

    I'm a huge fan of fun/personallzied napkins- so i included a pack for each girl

    For the wedding:

    I also got my girls earrings that they are going to wear in the wedding

    and fun hair accessories to make the dresses

    I know you're already doing tote bags- so I don't know if this would be too many bags... but check out this lil bag that you can stuff a wet bathing suit into- so cute! :)

    @Aimee_Surprenant:  Bed Bath and Beyond has "Wet Bikini Bags" for $4.99.  They are hot pink with a brown bikini and says "Wet Bikini" on it.  Super Cute...and waterproof, so they could use them for other things to take down to the beach/pool that they don't want to get wet!   Great idea!
