    Tell me what you're getting/have gotten for your BM's!!

    Since my wedding's southern, I was going to get my ladies a white jacket with their name's embroidered on the back & the very bottom, and a mason jar with their names engraved!!

    I felt bad getting them a shirt that said "bridesmaid", although it's good for pictures..I felt bad that they'd only have one reason to wear it! I want something they can use over & over!

    I'm getting my 3 BMs Lands End bathrobes with their first name initial embroidered.  Along with fluffy slippers and all things comfort and spa. I'm also going to get them pashima's for the wedding.

    I gave each of my girl's charm bracelts with 5 charms that reminded me of them or something we did together. The 6th charm was the same for each girl, it was a cowboy boot to represent them being in my wedding in Austin, TX.

    The girls LOVED them & some of them even started crying after they read my note that explained each charm :)

    Heres a pic of one of my girls wearing hers at the wedding.

    Thanks Girls!! I actually ordered them from two different wholesale silver companies. One was blue mudd & I can't remeber the other off the top of my head.

    Also, what I did was bought a charm representing each girl for myself & one representing my husband (it was a charm of the nickname I gave him, Jack O Lantern) and put them on my bouquet.

    I am having my wedding in Vegas so I thought it would be cute to get my 4 girls something they could use. I got them these really cute carry on suitcases that I plan to give to them at the bridal shower. I love them, I think they are so cute!!! AND they can use them on the trip, how cute that they will all be rolling through the hotel with matching luggage Laughing lol

    I did the bridesmaid rhinestone tanks, I know they can only use them for one day but that one day will be so much fun. I also am ordering monogramed heart bracelets for them. Both gifts are going to go into monogramed beach bags since we vacation to the beach yearly together.

    My BM's are spending the night before the wedding together at a B&B so there'll be plenty of drinks, nail polish and rom coms that night! I'm planning on getting each of my girls a beautiful fluffy white robe which will have their initials embroidered on the front and their full first name on the back. I'm gonna give them their gifties the night before so we can all sit around in our fab robes - plus it'll look great in the mandatory "getting ready" photos the day of the wedding!

    Nice! Sounds like jewelry is one of the ways to go. I'm wanting to also get the girls white jackets with their names embroidered on them...but can't seem to find some cute, simple, inexpensive white jackets?! I want to make sure they fit good before I buy them, so it'd be nice if I could buy them from the mall or something. Who knows..I've only got 2 1/2 months so hopefully I find something SOON!

    @Lees4308 I got the pearl jewelry sets at Macy's, but I think they're like $70 each full price? I was only able to get them because a) they were on sale for Black Friday and b) my mom works there and has ridiculous discounts. I think looking for nicer stuff on sale is the way to go vs. buying cheaper stuff full price.

    I got my girls silk pajamas with the nickname that I call them embroidered on the chest.  I'm paying for an extra night at the hotel so we can all wear our PJs and have our last single slumber party together.  I also got them beautiful hand-painted wine glasses from one of my fav etsy artists.  The glasses have a charicature and name of the girl in her BM dress holding her bouquet. Since our rehearsal dinner is at a wine bar, I'm giving the glasses to them early so they can drink out of them there and at the reception.

    Yay for Coach wristlets! I just bought my girls some at the Coach Outlet today, on sale for $32 each (I have 8 BMs so it adds up). Glad to see other Bees doing the same.
