I only have one, my MOH (who is my sister). I keep getting her little things here and there so I think I'll do a gift basket. So far:
-silver plated jewelry box with her monogram engraved
-sterling silver ring (its very dainty and pretty and she can wear on day of)
-havianas flip flops in gold (we both love havianas and she can wear them later on at the reception if she wants)
For the survival kit I'm going to include these hankies from an irish gift store here in AZ. If you're not into the saying, you could get monogrammed hankies, I think that would be a really cute idea!

A Bridesmaid is someone very special

You are there again by her side,
Sharing the moment she becomes a wife.
Tears of joy may fall,
This heartfelt hankie will catch them all.
And along with the memory of this special day.
For you to cherish and tuck away.
I am gifting my BMs spa treatments during our bachelorette weekend. Before I decided on this, I was thinking of putting together little gift bags for them that would have included Havaianas, MAC lip gloss and nail polish, and a cute tank top or tee-shirt. But...I kind of wanted to spend a little more than I normally would have because they are taking me to San Diego for the weekend for the bachelorette party, are paying for their hotel rooms during the wedding weekend, flying into town, bought their BM dress, etc. I know I don't have to do the spa treaments (all the BM gifts I've ever gotten were things like flip flops, jewelry, etc.) but I feel like because they are really spending a lot of money, I should. Either way, as a BM I have always appreciated whatever the bride gave me -- it's the thought that counts! I'm sure that your BMs will love their gifts. :)
I bought them their dresses (because they were only $100 each) and I am getting my MOH (who is also my sister) some jewelry to go with the dress.
i got all my girls the below:
$50 towards dress
mani/pedi
$50 towards hair and makeup
canvas bag with some botanical print - all different from etsy
small gift - different for each girl (pretended i was buying a small bday present so i know they will like it)
also
i have 2 MOHs.
I bought one a ticket to see Dave Matthews
I havent decided on the other, but probably a nice scarf or necklace. or a ticket to a dance show (which is her thing)
I am getting them a necklace:
and a Robe like this one:
I bought beach bags on clearance for $3 each and I'm going to bring them in to have them embroided with each of the girls names. Then I'm going to fill them each with...
~A Purse Hanger
~Flip Flops for later in the reception
~Jewelry Rolls (they are for travel to hold jewelery)
~Earrings & Necklace to wear day of
~Personalized Wine Glasses
~Mini card-wallets from Lands End
~A Loafa, bath fizz, and shower gel
Then for my sisters (MOH & MatronOH) I'm also buying these personlized photo frames that say "Maid of Honor" & "Matron of Honor" with their Names and then an inscribed message from me.
I was trying to go with items they could use and appreciate outside of my wedding, really gifts for them, for being awesome bridesmaids!
I got three of my bridesmaids this clutch:
http://www.laurenmerkin.com/ItemDetails.aspx?ItemId=211
and I'm going to get them each a pair of fun earrings and maybe some small makeup item.
My sister, who's my MOH, is getting a pair of majoraca pearl earrings and I think I'm going to get her a spa treatment as well (a massage or something).
I have 4 BM's and I bought their dresses as part of a gift ($100 each). I also bought personalized beach bags and planning to buy cute flip flops & pedicure kits with OPI nail polish. I have the dresses with me as I ordered it for them. We're going to South Beach for my bachelorette getaway, so I'm going to put all those items in each BM's bag and have those awaiting my girlies in the hotel rooms when they arrive :D
I got all the girl's shoes and then also a necklace/earring set. My MOH also will get a bracelet that matches mine for the wedding but is smaller. That is what I have now...not sure if I'm going to do anything else or not. Suggestions???
Since we are having a DW in Vegas I got my girls some of those hard shell suitcases. They are all in pretty little colors and I am also thinking about getting them their shoes or some jewelry.
I got my girls a bag with their monogrammed, a coach wristlet for the wedding day, and their jewelry for the day. Not sure if I will get anything else. What do you think?
I got mine monogramed wristlets and their jewelery for the wedding day.
I love the idea of hard-shell suitcases! So unique and useful!
I got my 4 bridesmaids different necklaces from Tiffany. I also made them makeup cases with a small mirror, hand sanitizer, nail file, and lip gloss. Sort of a survival kit for everyday. I'm thinking about getting my sister (MOH) a pashmina or something a little extra.
I got my girls bridesmaid totes that are black with ribbon that say bridesmaid, but it's removable so it can be used afterward. I also got them necklaces/earrings to match their dresses, flipflops for the reception and hair flowers. I'll probably add a bottle of their favorite adult beverage to the bag too!
I put together goodies and I'm giving them in a tote. The only thing missing in the photo is a handmade necklace for each girl. :)
Mine are getting a necklace and earring set from Macy's, a BPA free water bottle, flip flops, makeup bags w/ day of essentials & a reusable tote.
These totes...
With personalized etched wine glasses:
Flip flops for the reception:
Jewelry to wear with their dresses:
Mini bottle of champagne:
And hair do's the day of:
I got the girls this bag with their initials in light blue (our colors are light blue and navy). I then got a few things that they'll need for the day - tissues, water bottles, lip balm, etc. to put inside!
I don't consider bridesmaid dresses or matching jewelry/shoes to count as gifts. You're not buying them something they want. If you want to help with dresses/jewelry/hair thats awesome but I don't think that should be their "gift".
They might not "want" the bridesmaid dress and matching shoes/accessories, but if they're going to be in the wedding, those are things they'd otherwise have to spend their own money on. So I actually think paying for the bridesmaids' attire is a generous gift.
1). Purchased their $350 bridesmaid dresses
2). Ordered custom beach bags from Land's End with their initials
3). Giving each girl 10mm yellow 18K gold ball earrings from Macy's
4). Giving each girl 18K yellow gold and agate semi-precious stone necklaces
5). Giving each girl a gold clutch to use at the wedding
6). MOH and MOH's BF love the Dodgers, so I am giving them 4 tickets to a Dodgers game in the row literally right behind the Dodger dugout.
I'm packing this bag with everything they'll need (mints, tissues, pocket mirror, lip gloss) Hoping it will be fun and useful! I got them at wiseweddingstyles.com because they're having a contest where you can win $250 for any purchases made until May 31st!

I was just wondering what everyone was doing for the bridesmaid's gifts. My FI thinks I'm crazy and says that we don't need to get them anything. I think it's mainly because when we were part of a wedding they didn't have any budget to get their bridal party anything. I was thinking of stealing msmonicas idea and get them lightweight jackets w/ their name and bridesmaid iron on for getting ready, sandals from oldnavy for the end of the night & a bridesmaid wedding day survival kit. Do you think that's too much? I told my mom and she said "wow you're going all out for them!" I laughed and said that I will be finding the best deals so I don't have o spend that much really.
