    Bees-

    I'm planning on giving my bridesmaids the following items: Dooney and Bourke wristlet, velour top with their names or 'bridesmaid' studded on them for getting ready, these organza flowers to either put in their hair or use as an accessory on a jacket or something and their earrings (not shown). Is this enough? I'm really torn. I'm on a budget and I don't to look cheap but I think that might be plenty...

    My bridesmaids are paying for their own dresses ($150 or under) and wearing their own shoes. I am asking them to get their hair done as well.

    Help! Is this enough? Thanks!

    I think they're great!  I would just do their names on the sweatshirts though so that they can wear them again :o)

    sounds great!  I would just say put their names on the jacket, not bridesmaid.

    Thanks for the input! Ok so no bridesmaids. Would you still do just their names or would you rather a fun nickname they have?

    I would just do their names or initials on the jacket.  If it said Bridesmaid, I probably would never wear it again.

    I'd choose a fun nickname... 2 of those gifts look like their more for your own pictures than gifts for the girls, you know? @ least if it doesn't say bridesmaid they can use the hoodie again. They probably won't use the hairpiece again either.

    Sounds good thanks for the advice! The organza flower thing isn't for me-I'm not having them wear it for my wedding but I found a fun tutorial and I'm going to make them anyway. They can attace it to anything-a clutch, a jacket, a scarf, whatever.

    I won't have them say bridesmaid now. Thanks all!

    These are great ideas! I would leave the "bridesmaid" off the sweatshirts though, otherwise it's not really much of a gift, since it's more of the uniform for the morning.
