    Hi everyone!

    This is my first discussion so please bear with me! I'm getting married in just under 4 weeks (eeek!) but I'm really stuck on what gifts to give to my bridesmaids. We want to do it during the speeches, so something to give on the morning to use during the ceremony (such as necklace/earrings etc) isn't something we're after. I'd like to to be something thoughtful and unique.

    It may be a big ask, but I'm sure you girls can give me some great advice! :) x

    I am sure there's a thread on this. I shall try and find it and bump it for you.

    You can get beautiful personalised vases and plaques on the bay of e. We're also getting the wee survivor kits as a wee giggle as well :) x

    I'm sure something personal to each of the girls would be appreciated over a cookie cutter bm gift any day. You know them best. I would go with something that reflects an interest or passion of each bm.

    You could either get something personalised for each of them or if you have a theme then you could incorporate that into the gifts e.t.c For example; we are having an aquatic theme so either going to get my bridesmaids something sea themed or thinking of getting my sister a replica necklace of the one that she wears in Titanic (It's so pretty) - my other (hopefully- haven't asked her yet) will get something sea themed such as earrings, necklace or bracelet as she already has the titanic necklace :P

    I got my sister vouchers for a department store as she had her eyes for ages on an expensive handbag which I couldn't afford to pay for but the vouchers paid for just over half, my best mate got a lovely pair of earrings which we gave out during the speeches xx

    I'm thinking about buying them each a piece of jewellery, ideally something unique (eg custom-made/from Etsy). I plan on giving them their gifts on the morning so that they can wear them if they choose :-)

    We gave bracelets and necklaces morning of, mainly cause thats what i ended up getting as thank yous but can see that you arent after that.
    There are many personlised plaques, frames, vases, glasses etc you can get that can be given during speeches. I gave my FG a personalised bracelet with her name and date of wedding on it, from the website - not on the high street. Maybe have a look on there and see what you can find?
    i emailed the woman directly explaining it was a last minute present and we were getting married in a week - yes 7 days to get it delivered, and ordered it saturday i think it arrived tuesday!
    4 weeks is plenty of time to sort something dont worry! xx

    I'm currently making a word canvas for the girls. Bought some beautiful distressed wood photo frames online so they only cost £6 each. The word canvas is personal to each girl.
