    I've never been in a wedding, so I'm a little clueless with the whole BM gift thing. I have my MOH and 2 BMs. My MOH and 1 BM are throwing my shower and will be a lot of help in the weeks leading up to my wedding. The other BM lives across the country and will only be present the weekend of the wedding, which I'm totally ok with (she's in school plus working full time). My only concern is I want to get larger gifts for the other BM and my MOH since they will spend so much money and time on this wedding and my shower. Is this a bad idea? Should I give my MOH and BM a gift after the shower when the other BM won't be there, and then give them all the same thing at the rehearsal dinner?

    I think giving them an extra gift after the shower would be better if you are set on giving them something extra. Usually it's only the MOH that might get something more.

    Give a separate gift for hosting the shower, preferably when the shower happens. You don't have to spend exactly the same on all of the bridesmaids, but I would avoid spending significantly different amounts on the gifts for the wedding itself.
