    Ok so i know that normally a bride would give her bridemaids a gift on the day of the wedding (or whenever) but i don't have any bridesmaids as such... instead i will have my partner daughter with me the night before the wedding (we're staying at my little brothers house) and she will be beside me during the ceremony... so basically she will be my bridesmaid... well i'm sure she will be calling herself that anyway LOL... She's turning 15 at the end of the year... we don't have a mother daughter kind of a relationship, we are more like best friends... normally when the kids are over i'm sitting up in her room giggling away like most school girls would do if they were having a sleep over LOL! anyway, i was thinking of getting her a necklace (to wear on the day) and maybe some lipgloss... she can never have too much of that (i think she has about 50 in her room LMAO) but i'm not sure what else... she will be wearing her charm bracelet so i was thinking maybe a charm or two for that....
    -Necklace
    -lipgloss?
    -Charm/s
    I dont know... i dont feel it's enough... any ideas would help :) i was thinking of also writting a letter/note but i dont know how to word it... something along the lines of thanking her for letting me into her life... or something... i'm not sure.

    I would like to get something for the little man too... I will most likely be sending over goodies to craig the night before the wedding and i would send the little man his stuff too then.
    He will be 10 this year... i have no idea what to get him... something he can wear at the wedding? it's not a super formal wedding... he will be wearing black slacks and a blue short sleaved shirt. Ideas?

    OH I'M SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!

    Oh i just had more thoughts... because we're not having any body at the wedding except my brother and his brother and the kids... should we get something to give to our parents when we announce that we're married that evening?

    Should we get something for our brothers too??

    hmmm... I think a nice jewelry set is something she could keep and grow into - something really special to remember the day by!

    Maybe you could just pop a bottle of champagne with your parents afterward? Do they not know that you will be getting married at all?

    I know when I was that age, I really love pearls, something about pearls made me feel really pretty and grown up.  So, how about a nice set of pearl earrings and a necklace?

    I love the idea of charms.  My mom gives me a charm to signify all the big things I have done in my life, and I love to look back and see what was happening me to as I was growing up.  So what if you got her a custom bridesmaid/wedding-themed charm?

    I can't get her earings... she doesn't have her ears peirced... she did but they weren't looked after and the earing ended up getting ingrown in her ear... gross... had to get it cut out. poor thing was only little when that happened, craig said it was horrible.

    Maybe i could find some nice fake earings?

    I got a pearl necklace for my friend's wedding it is a pearl, thread, pearl, thread. It looks like the pearls are floating around you and is very simple. like this but just one strand:

    I got the image off this website. They are freshwater pearls and reasonably priced about 20-$30 depending on the strands. I would google it and comparison shop!
