iv bought fashion jewlery sets necklace/earings from the bay cost roughly £1 20/1.50 to wear with there dresses and bought silver boxed pendants as a thankyou present which im giving to bridesmaids instead of favours so only the guests will have favours and they get there keepsake x
- CommentAuthorLulu1388
I will be getting their jewellery as thank you gifts which I will give them on the morning. Not sure if they will have anything in the thank you speeches bit other than kind words! but may get them a framed pic once get developed or something as a postponed thank you.

aww thats a lovely idea!! i might get a picture for all of them! the groomsmen are the worst to get for! was going to get them cufflinks but none if the groomsmen where shirts to work! x
- CommentAuthornic86
All those presents sound lovely, we have gone against the tradition and the only people getting gifts at the wedding breakfast are our parents, the best men will get their engraved zippos from h2b on the morning of the wedding and my bridesmaids and flower girl will get there jewellery which they are wearing on the day as their present in the morning, I dont think its cheeky at all to give it as a sort of joint present x
- CommentAuthorNevlar
damn it i wish the groomsmen smoked!! zippos is a great idea!! x
- CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I did buy my MOH and bridesmaids their jewellery but I also got them a small gift of a pendant of a gaurdian angel. The men got a personalised six pence of the day as to what their role was.

Our wedding day - 6 October 2012

You do not have to give things at the reception at all.

When I was a bm I was given my necklace and earings and a mirror that I carried im my bag on the day x

Away with the flutterbys xxx
- CommentAuthorMrs-Mouse-2-be
Bridesmaids gifts and bestman gifts can be given before or after the wedding it doesn't have to be during the reception, in fact when I was bridesmaid I was given gifts the day before the wedding x
- CommentAuthorJennyHeather
I think we're going with the classic jewellery/cufflinks thing, which they can wear on the day.
- CommentAuthorNevlar
im struggling with the groomsmen! cufflinks would be a waste! none of them smoking! could get something like aftershave or something but its not personal
- CommentAuthormillz090
what about a tankard and get it engraved? xxx

oh yeah i didnt even think!! good jon they arent T-Total!!xx
- CommentAuthorMrsMcK2B
When my h2b was groomsman for his friend they have him engraved cuff links & bought him his shoes to keep too. Cuff links are in a cabnit as a keep sake now. When I was bm for my sister she gave us wee thanks you ornaments, the willow kind, & a lovely picture frame with FRIENDS on it the morning of the wedding, and we now all have the same pic in the matching frames, we posed for pic purposefully. Only mothers got flowers presented to them during speeches.

That's what I thought - i didn't mind at all but I just wondered if other people agreed. At least one of my bm's is the bride that didn't do gifts so I know what her opinion is! x

For my BM's - I'm making up gift baskets which will include a personalised silk robe, a necklace from monsoon, a diamanté hanging heart, hotel chocolate truffles, bottle of wine, and then I'm going to write them each a personal letter and make a collage of pictures of myself and them. I've also brought them their shoes, dress, jewellery for the day and their hotel rooms.

For the groomsmen & Best Man - they have all got a personalised shot glass and a bottle of black sambuca, cufflinks and their hotel rooms, and shoes for their suits.

For the Flower girls - not sure yet, but the children at the wedding will have help for heroes teddy bears for favours, sweeties and an activity pack.

I was also thinking this .... although included in our suit hire are cufflinks and OH doesnt wear a suit to work so that would be pretty pointless for me.

We have agreed not to get each other a present, we decided the money we would have spent will go on our Honeymoon instead.

We've got the bridesmaids a candle (the same scent as the one we're using at the wedding, just in travel size), a bracelet and tiara, chocolates from hotel chocolat and a little thank you bookmark.

Mum's have the same candle and chocolates.

The female gifts are wrapped and ready to go.

FoG and Ushers have a selection of beer that we've individually selected to match their tastes.

We have one BM and FoG doing readings, so I got the BM a Me to You thank you teddy. FoG is reading an extract from Terry Pratchet - Thief of Time, so I got the authors autograph and I'll frame the reading for him.

Yesterday I received the personalised wine glasses that I ordered for my BMs. I am soooooooo pleased with them!! Paid £30 for 6 of them inc postage. If anyone was thinking of doing this and wants the details from who I ordered from let me know. Pictures are in my photo album - Bridesmaid Gifts -

You can have any design you want and all you need to do is email your requirements after purchasing.
