Hello. Just wondering what thank you gifts to buy and who for and do I really need to get them? And how have people kept costs down? Home made etc ? Thank you.

I've got thank you gifts for bridesmaids (3 compact mirrors with inscription), flower girls (4 bracelets) and best men (2 hip flasks with inscription) spent about £10 each all brand new from eBay!

We got father and mother of bride and groom, best man and bridesmaids. Mums got flowers dads and best man got a personalised glass each and bridesmaids got a wooden friends plaque. EBay and Amazon have some reasonably priced stuff. Xxx

Do you have to get parents something if they are not contributing to the wedding? If so why?

Hi you need to get gifts for your bridal party and both sets of parents, they don't have to be expensive as long as they mean something to each person good luck :)

Well traditionally it's flowers for both mothers, and jewellery for best man and bridesmaids. As our pageboy,flower girls,best man and bridesmaids are all immediate family we're willing to spend more and get jewellery it's so far working out at £25 per person. everyone so far has bracelets. When looking I saw really nice affordable accessories/personalised gifts. Good sites I browsed on were jewlr,borngifted,hsammuel,Amazon and findmeagift.

I'm just doing gifts for the bridesmaids, flower girls and the best man. Getting the brides maids and flower girls bracelets with their title on them (bridesmaid ect) and best man socks for the best man. I'm not having ushers or page boys as we're having a registry office wedding and we're planning and paying for it all ourselves so not doing parents presents. However my mum died 5 years ago and I may put flowers on her grave.
