Bridal Party Gifts

[pinkmummy]

OH and I are struggling with what exactly to get our birdal party as gifts!!

We have:

My dad
OH Dad
Bestman
Groom

Chief Bridesmaid
Bridesmaid 1
Bridesmaid 2
Bridesmaid 3

Flowergirl
Pageboy

So far this is what we have:

Chief Bridesmaid - Neckalce
Bridesmaid 1 - Neckalce
Bridesmaid 2 - Necklace
Bridesmaid 3 - Necklace

The necklace's cost £20 each but TBH they really don't look like they are worth that much I don't want my BM's to think we were being cheap so want to put something else with it

Best Man - Socks
My Dad - Socks
OH Dad - Socks
Groom - Socks

Again haven't a clue what else to get them?!

We haven't got anything for C and T (flowergirl and pageboy) but are thinking of just getting them a photoframe each with flowergirl/pageboy on it and getting them a toy each.

We are getting my mum and MIL a bouquet of flowers each so they are sorted.

So any ideas for the rest?

This is what i'm struggling on probably be jewellery for the bridesmaids and engraved hipflasks or cufflinks or something for the males and then flowers for the mums put bridal party gifts into ebay or google and see what comes up might give you some good ideas of things to look out for elsewhere. I think your gifts sound really nice so far, perfect.

[~KACI~]

what sort of necklaces have you got??

 

[pinkmummy]

They are handmade ones. They are the ones that look like they have no chain *floating* necklaces. Xx

 

[~KACI~]

sound gorgeous, what about some earrings??

 

[pinkmummy]

Not all of then have theirs ears pierced OH thinks that we should just give them the necklaces as they were £20 and we can't really afford to get them anything else. Just that one of the bridesmaids seen and said they looked cheap xx

 

[~KACI~]

Well that was pretty nice of her...NOT.
I don't think you need to get any thing else but if you feel you need to what about a box of choclate's or tell them there is a little something else but they'll have to wait and get a photo of you all and get a frame. Pretty cheap thing to do x

 

[katieandbump]

I don't think you need to get anything else either and as if she said that she doesn't deserve one full stop talk about ungrateful. They're getting to be your bridesmaids for the day thats enough the necklace is just to say thanks but its your day not theirs i agree with your OH.

i agree, i think the necklace is plenty honey! i've been having a panic over what to get our wedding party, although we haven't got as much to get.
i wanted to get mum a big bunch of flowers, however they wont travel well so waiting till we get back at our reception meal for that.
but this is what i'm thinking:

mum - piece of jewellery
dad - watch
MOH - earrings
maddi (bridesmaid) - not sure, probably get her a toy out there and a picture frame when we get home so she remembers it!
james - i'm going to leave something for him that morning to wear on the day - he doesn't no it yet! i've seen the best cuff-links ever and i no he'd find them funny!

 

[dizzyspells]

We have got so far:

Adult Bridesmaids x 3andora Bracelet each with charm & all put in a personlised handmade bags with wooden tags.

Miaersonlised Bracelet with the same bag as above.

Best Man:Silver personlised lighter

Ushers:Not sure yet!

Dad:Gold Skeleton Pocket Watch.

Oh and Mums Flowers!
