    So when do we give our bridal party their gifts?? I'm getting my girls clutches, makeup gift certificates and personalized little Patrons that will be for the wedding so I can give them those the morning of when we're all getting ready together. But FH is getting his boys personal non-wedding related stuff and I'm trying to figure out what the last part of my BM gifts will be but it definitely will be something tailored to each girl and not for the wedding (lemme kno if u have any suggestions lol). So when's a good time to give them these? We don't want them to have to schlep them from the reception, especial after a full night open bar :) 

     

    Any of u bees deal with this?

    @FMCollado:  I figure I'll see them the night before the wedding, even though we're not having a rehearsal either.  Or I will give them out the morning of the wedding at the hotel/houses....so they don't need to drag them around all day.

    We are having bachelor/ette parties, but won't that be weird to give it to them in front of everyone else who isn't getting presents? lol

    I don't want to offend/hurt anyone's feelings and the RD woulda been nice in that it'd only be wedding party etc and everyone knows gifts are given out then.

    Are you having a rehearsal? If so, can you give them their gifts there or immediately after?

    ETA:  Oops! I just saw that you're not having a rehearsal, either. Sorry I didn't notice that before I commented. :)

    We're getting ready at the venue and don't want them to have to worry about schlepping stuff afterwards :/
