As you can see the stuff is mostly for them to use/wear for the wedding day. I know it needs something else but can’t think. I thought of a photo of us all but my Bridesmaid or Best Man who got married last year did this and I gave one of my BMs a photo of the two of us for her birthday last year, so feel the photo in a frame could be exhausted.
MemberThat’s a lot of ‘stuff’. Were you looking to add something sentimental? Or just another ‘thing’.
If sentimental, I’d include a handwritten card, telling that Bridesmaid or Best Man what you’ve appreciated about her throughout your friendship and during wedding planning.
If another ‘thing’, how about a mani/pedi gift certificate?
MemberI was in the same boat, had everything just needed something extra. I ended up using a 30% off coupon to Kohls and getting 6 comfy cotton, short robes they can wear while we were4 getting ready that day (we had a lot of time to kill, lol). They all loved them!
Memberwow that is a lot of stuff! I think you’re probably set! I mean you can still always pay for meals the morning of – get snacks ready and stuff for mimosas. Or pay the room service bill and let everyone order lunch. Or order in fruit etc. You can pay for their hair and/or nails. I agree – write them a nice personal card and they’ll love that! also what about a pre and/or post wedding mini email thanking them again! Say youre so excited/were so excited!
MemberIf you just feel that you need something else JCPenney has silk robes on sale.
Member@PrncssDva: UM OMG. THANK YOU. Wasn’t planning on getting them anything else, but you can’t beat $6!
MemberM.Ruder: You’re so very welcome. I am already married, so didn’t need them for Bridesmaid or Best Man gifts. I saw them on a post the other day. I instantly went and bought two leopard print ones. One is for me and one is for a gift, of some sort. I get good things on sale and go through them when a gift is needed. I also shop year round for Christmas, so it was perfect.
MemberWow! What a lovely set! (Everone loves a bit of Accessorize!). I don’t think you need to add anything else, but when I was a Bridesmaid or Best Man last year, we were given white waffle dressing gowns with ‘Bridesmaid’ on the back. The bride said they cost her under a fiver each. Bargain! (I suspect Google may help with this if you’re interested!)
PS. I love the idea of a handwritten card x
MemberThose all look wonderful! I’ll DITTO the person(s) that mentioned a hand written card jsut expressing how much it means for them to be with you all during the wedding planning process! =)
MemberOh yeah as some of the other ladies suggested: a hand written note. I did that and it really meant a lot to my ladies.
HostessThanks bees. Yeah got the note card sorted. Thanks to those who think I’ve got enough, that puts my mind at ease. I think I’m going to look into dressing gowns as when I was a Bridesmaid or Best Man last year we were all just wearing our PJs and I felt a bit stupid to be honest and the dressing gowns would look nice for the photos. Off to Google search I go.
@Button: Got those headbands by chance and I love them, hope they do to.
MemberJust curious: What’s the diff between a robe and a dressing gown? I have never heard of that before.
Hostess@PrncssDva: It’s the same, just we British say Dressing Gown. 😉
Thanks for the links too btw I’m going to look at co.uk places.
MemberPrewitt: oooohhhh lol I was a little confused. You’re so very welcome. I hope that you find something.
Member@PrncssDva: What a great deal, I’m ordering some now!! yay!!
@CatyLady: What about some lipgloss? I also like the idea of a mani/pedi gift card!
