Wonderful idea! but maybe go for a bracelet? 140 is a lot but i guess that would depend on how many bridesmaids you have! i would LOVE to get that :) if i had the budget for it i would!
How many bridesmaids are you having and is it something that you feel you can comfortably afford? I am considering getting my MOH a Tiffany Key necklace but she is my only bridesmaid and is my sister.
I think its a very generous gift. If they are paying for their dress, shoes and accessories and are close to you, I think its ok, as long as you can afford it. How many bm's do you have?
I think it's a great idea, I have been thinking of doing this for my bridesmaids as well!
Are you planning on spending $140/bridesmaid anyways? If you are, I say go for it. I wouldn't go outside of my budget for it though, since it is a rather extravagant extra.
Hi guys,
I have 4 bridesmaids and my MOH.. so it would be around $700-$800 (with taxes) for everyone. 3 of the bridesmaids are my sisters, which i am actually not super close with. My MOH is my best friend from college and the last bridesmaid is a very close friend of mine from college too...
They will be paying for all of their own things for the wedding day so i want to do something special for them. The alternative i was thinking was taking them all to the spa for a mani/pedi which would be a little cheaper than the necklaces, but it doesnt have that keepsake quality to it....
I think it sounds great, and I agree, I'd rather get a necklace than the mani/pedi. Do you think they'll all like the necklace? What does it look like?
Will you have the bridesmaids wear the Tiffany necklaces IN the wedding? If so, I think that the gesture likely would be pretty well received by all involved. You would have the "look" that you want for the wedding, and each maid benefits from receiving as a gift a very nice, fairly expensive necklace that she may not have ever been able to purchase for herself at this time in her life.)
However, if the necklaces are not going to be worn in the wedding, a bridesmaid who may really be stretching herself financially to pay for her expenses to be in your wedding may have thoughts running through her mind such as, "If she can afford to pay for these expensive necklaces for us, I would have preferred that she would have just offered to pay that much toward our bridesmaids' dresses instead." I"m not saying that a bridesmaid should expect a bride to offer to pay for such expenses, only that someone could possibly feel this way under those circumstances.
I got a cross from Tiffany's for a bridesmaid gift a while back. I thought it was exravagent, but very nice!
I love the theme! If you can afford it I say go for it! I wanted to get my girls a Tiffany necklace too. The letter one? So they'd each get their own letter and could wear it after the wedding. But my FSIL is very high maintenance and I could see the $150 necklace being wasted on her as she does not wear anything that is not gold or platinum. Plus, it was a big stretch for our budget.
Honestly, I agree with Brielle here. I have one necklace I wear all the time pretty much all the time so it would be wasted on me. And my thought would be, "she can drop this much on a necklace I won't wear, why not just pay for the outfit I have to wear for her wedding?" I think the idea is nice, but make sure it is something they will wear and appreciate.
these were the options i was thinking of getting.... If i went with the double heart one i would probably take it to my local engraver and have their initial or a msg put on the blank heart...
Which do you guys like better?
I think they both look lovely. If it is something you can afford, any bridesmaid would be thrilled.
I think it really depends on how many girls your having and how much work they've done for you to ease the stress... and definatly dont spend more than you have.
I think its a beautiful gesture to show those who have been there to support you and your FI and who've helped you and stayed with you through the hard times and easy times... how much you really value their friendship and Tiffanys is definatly a way to do it
I love the first one! I would be really excited to get this gift!
It depends on their tastes, really. I only wear yellow gold so if someone got me this, I'd only wear it around them every once in a while, if I accepted it at all (since it'd be a really expensive gift to never wear).
i would be wary about spending so much on jewelry as a gift without their input. i say this because i am VERY picky with jewelry that i like. so I think it would suck if you spent all that and it wasn't their style. I would be more inclined to take them shopping and let them pick something they love in that price range - cuz i am sure there are tons of nice necklaces you can get at that price.
I agree with PPs who said that you should think about their style first. I actually gave my MOH (my sister) the double heart necklace, but my other bridesmaids either a) hate/don't wear jewelry with hearts, b) don't wear expensive jewelry, or c) have so many things from Tiffany that they would rather just exchange the necklace and put it toward something else they've been eyeing.
If you are sure they would love them, then I say go for it! I do not think it's too over the top or expensive.
I think this is such a nice and generous gift. i would love to recieve something like this!!! So nice!
thanks for all of the input! I think i am going to go ahead and get them for everyone. I think i will go with the first option with everyone's initials on it and have them wear them on our wedding day. I am so excited for the bridesmaids luncheon! it is going to be so much fun. I am going to make up a special "save the date" for the luncheon since i have one person coming from Montreal and the other from Tennessee...
I don't think its over the top either I was planning on spending €100-€150 each. I'd be happy to get one if these as a gift 
@teresa1083w: I love the whole theme idea and I would love to get a necklace from Tiffany's!
As a big part of my engagement was the Tiffany ring and jewelry my DH gave me, I gave my MOH a Tiffany necklace. She loved it and it made her feel very included in the exciting time. I love your theme idea. Your bridesmaids will really value and treasure it.
I actually received the initial pendant from Tiffanys for a wedding I was in in June. I love it and wear it all the time. I couldnt afford to give my bridesmaids gifts like that, but I loved receiving it!
I think your gift is great, however if you have the money to buy them this gift then go for it but if its not a comfortable buy then no. I am not buying my bridesmaid a gift worth over $40 per lady but this is just me. I've been in a number of weddings and the best gift I got was a set of real 2 tone earrings from Zales. Come to find out it was a special because the bride and groom both bought their rings at Zales and got the earrings for $20. However, if you are not even BFF with all the girls then I say go with the spa day. If they never know about the Tiffany choice then they will be happy with a spa day.
I want to be your bridesmaid too, I love Tiffany & Co!
I think it's okay to give them the nacklace. If you can afford it, it's fine!
Everybody has a different budget when it comes to marriage, but I am sure that they will be very happy :-)

Hello Bees,
I was thinking about having a breakfast at tiffany's themed bridesmaids luncheon. For gifts i was thinking of doing the cheapest of of the Tiffany's necklaces which are about $140 canadian. Do you guys think that this is too over the top expensive for a bridesmaids gift? I have beent thinking about what to get each of them and all of the typical gifts seem so useless to me. If i were in their position i would hope for something that i would actually want...
What are your thoughts?
