CommentAuthorVickiD69
For my bridesmaids I have bought them Jewellery to wear on the day, my flower girls I haven't decided yet, as they are young I want a keepsake like a trinket box?
Best men (have 3) plus page boy, I think we are getting cuff links
For the mums, grandparents and my great aunt, I am getting Welsh love spoons which say 'Diolch' (thank you) on them as my great aunt is helping me make the flowers! Didn't want her to make her own bouquet! Haha
For my future mother in law i am making a survival kit with a mini bottle of wine, tissues party feet, lip balm and paracetamol so far, does anyone have any other ideas what i can put in this please?
thanks xx
CommentAuthormistaken4u
We got my mother and mother in law necklaces, the bridesmaids got horseshoe necklaces as they love horses and we got my brother in law (best man) and my brother (witness and walked me down the aisle) some cufflinks. I also got an infinity bracelet for my friend who did my makeup.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

I'm going to do gift bags/boxes for my bridesmaids and fill them with little bits and bobs. So far I'm thinking: • Piece of jewellery - bracelet/necklace (might give this to them in the morning for them to wear on the day) • Candle - possibly the small 'Wedding Day' Y@nk33 candle • Photo of the 5 of us together in a nice frame • Personalised/mug/wine class/champagne flute • Miniature alcohol bottle
Has anyone got any more ideas? Not looking to spend too much, probably about £30 per bridesmaid, so need more little things more like 'stocking fillers' if you like lol xx

For the groomsmen and my dad we are thinking of engraved pocket watches.. after the wedding and when I've had my photos back, I really want to put a shot of me and my dad into a photo frame which says "out of all the walks we've taken together, this will always be my favourite" or something along those lines.
For the mums I'm not too sure.. maybe jewellery and flowers.
Will do a little gift bag/box for my flower girl too who will be 2 and a few months. Thinking of getting her a keepsake bracelet, a personalised teddy and little bits and bobs like that :)

I found a poem on here that Im using for BM gifts floss. I did end up spending quite a bit but could have easily changed it to save money, but got excited! I'll see if I can find it. My jewellery set for them was £25 each just for those.
OH has finally sorted the men's gifts... He told me off for reminding him because he'd done it already, then said he forgot about my Dad! He's got his dad and best man a personalised golf tool I think, and my dad and his other best man and minute bottle and personalised glass.
His mam and my stepmam have flowers, along with the lady making our cake but we have to arrange those two weeks early as she goes on holiday on our wedding day.
As the girls doing our cake and hair/makeup are friends and doing their bits free, we have also got them a voucher for afternoon tea at a local 5* hotel.

I am going to be spending around £30 per bridesmaid, I am getting gift bags and filling them with a few little bits and bobs and some jewellery to wear on the day. For my flower girl I will be getting a personalised tumbler glass (BM's will have wine glasses) and a bracelet or necklace, possibly a teddy, she will only be 3 so don't want to get her anything too 'grown up'.
I have got ideas for gifts for everyone except my dad. He is so fussy I have enough trouble getting him things for his birthday and christmas lol! Anybody got ideas for somebody that doesn't really drink and doesn't really have a hobby?! I was looking at cufflinks but not sure if he would want to wear them! x

We're getting personalised pocket watches for the groomsmen and my dad Emma. It's not something they will probably use but I think it's just a nice momento of the day :)
Also once we have our photos back I want to put a pic in a frame that says 'out of all the walks we've ever taken, this one is by far my favourite' x

I am thinking about getting him one of those but he's not the type that has loads of photos up around the house, they have a few but not sure it's something he would like lol. I want something I can give him on the day too. Maybe I could get them a cheap weekend away? That's probably the only thing they would enjoy lol x

His only interest is football but he already has the latest football shirt and a season ticket. he is blimming awkward lol.
CommentAuthorFlossie
What about getting a signed shirt for him? Even if he has the latest shirt a signed shirt is always cool! You could frame it for him with a message saying 'thank you for being part of our wedding' and your date possibly? xx

If you email reception or the club shop someone should be able to let you know how you can get hold of one :) I used to work in the shop of a football club and we got loads of requests for signed shirts, footballs etc. We held a signing session every Thursday after the players had trained xx

I'm looking for bracelets for my bridesmaids (adults) that are made from pearls/beads in their appropriate colours with a 'bridesmaid' charm coming off it or something - so peach, baby blue, lilac and mint green. I've been looking on the bay for a while but can't seem to find any that don't look really cheap and tacky.. does anyone have any recommendations as to where I might be able to find what I'm looking for?

I am giving personalised wedding flip flops because iI wanted something a bit unusual. I've ordered them on this website ****************** I chose a pretty nice model (well, at least I think they are), but they have to arrive yet (ordered them already 2 weeks ago!) so I don't know....I hope they'll look as good as in the pics.

Careful with getting gifts off etsy though we got stung with custom charge for more than the gifts were worth - when already over budget for wedding was v annoying
CommentAuthorFlossie
It's not 3tsy who charge customs... it would have been because you ordered from overseas. The same could happen if you purchase something from overseas from anywhere.
If you don't want to risk a customs charge search for UK sellers only.

Groomsmen found a personalized whisky glass and coaster and not sure what else made cufflinks
Not sure what to get our pageboy he will be 3 x

We've got our mums personalised scr@bbl3 pictures and personalised trinket boxes. We will be getting them a large bouquet each as well and maybe a little something else. The dads have got personalised cuff links and pocket watches (best man has the same), I've also bought my dad a thank you plaque. Need to get the guys something else - probably an engraved glass or something.
BMs have an assortment of things all in their appropriate pastel colour... bath bombs, bath oils, y@nk33 candles, nail varnish, frilly socks, thank you plaques and personalised wine glasses. I'm also going to get them a bottle of H@rv3y N1cs prosecco each. They also have their jewellery that they will be wearing on the day and I bought cute little boxes to put it in to give to them in the morning.
Have done personalised hangers for my bms and my mum too which they can keep.
