|
|
| I bought matching necklace and earring sets for my bridesmaids to wear for the wedding. Fortunately, I do know that at least 2 out of the 3 like them because they saw them! And I'm almost positive the 3rd will as well.I would like to get them something else as well though. I was thinking maybe a nice wine would be good. Any recommendations as I am absolutely clueless as to what is a good wine! |

| Most BMs I know of would appreciate having their expenses reduced more than any possible gift. Shoes, dress, giving showers, giving up time -- it gets expensive! |

| If you can afford it, spa certificates for you all to go together as a girls treat for the wedding. A nice gift for them and you get one last hoorah with them before your new life starts. |

| I secretly hired a massuese to surprise the bms after rehearsal. I got them each a little jewelry set, and then the night before the big day, they each get a 30 minute massage. They were only 35 bucks a piece. |

| I agree with kill-yr-tv.If I could afford it I'd pay for some of my girls expenses on top of the bracelets I'm getting them, but if all you can do is the jewelry for them I'm sure they'd be thrilled with that since it's something that they can wear over and over again. |

| That's a great idea! Maybe before the wedding you and your bridesmaid's could go to a wine tasting at a local vineyard, it would be fun and you could get an idea of what the girls like. You could go back later to purchase, or make an order right away to pick up at a later time.. if you want to surprise them. |
