Hi Ladies,

I have been doing a lot of thinking about gifts and it is so hard so here is what I am thinking at present: H2B - A Nice Watch, I will get my MOH to deliver it to him morning of wedding. MOH & BM (Both my best friends) I am going to get them nice silver bracelets that they can wear on the day and I will give them on the morning of the wedding. Best Man and Ushers - I am just going to get them vouchers for their fav shops in UK I think they will appreciate that more. FG I am going to get a little Pandora or Thomas Sabo bracelet. Parents of the Bride & Groom gift vouchers for either their fav restaurant or show and when they arrive home from Cyprus I am going to organize for a big bouquet delivered to them then next day as I think it will cheer them up (Holiday Blues).

I hope this will be ok. x

Some amazing ideas on here I want to get them all lol!!

Quick question, noticed a lot of u r buying for both sets of parents, what would u do if ur parents were extremely helpful and definately needed a present and thank u in speech but OH parents don't give a monkeys about the wedding?? Is it awkward to give a present to one set of parents but not the other??

For BM I've seen some personalised wooden hangers which I thought would be great, put the date on and their position, then they can hang their dress on it after?

I've been looking at gifts already! The wedding is still 18 months away lol.
For BMs - Saw some swarovski earrings on groupon for £6 a pair, a photo frame with a pic from the hen night in, wooden heart tags with a different message for each girl, and a personalised bottle of wine.
For H2B (best man will give him it on morning) - got him some thundercats cufflinks in purple to wear on the day (he's obsessed lol!), a keyring that is one jigsaw piece with the wedding date on and I keep the other, a miniature bottle of vodka to steady his nerves, an engraved lighter and cigarette for the same purpose, and a bottle of his favourite aftershave
For Best man - personalised shot glass and bottle of jaeger
For mums - flowers and heart tag
For dads - bottle of their favourite tipple
Flower girl - heart tag, thank you teddy
Page boy - thank you teddy

It's so far away that this might change but thought i'd post my ideas anyhow!

Weedley Im doing the same with my parents, doing a cross stitch for them each in a 4 window frame from n3xt, one to have the stitch, one for a heart word cloud such as mother/father of the bride, wedding, our names, the wedding date etc (done on an app for the popular touch screen phone!!) another window for a photo of us when I was a child then one left empty for a wedding photo xx

So who are you supposed to buy gifts for?
BMs and GM yes but is it the in laws too?? This is getting so much more expensive! xx

In weddings I've gone to it's common to give gifts to the bridal party and flowers to the MOB & MOG. I could see situations where you might want to give gifts to more people. For example, I'd like to give gifts to those that have provided special help for the day.

I found somethings that might work for you. Normally, I'd post them on your wall. Unfortunately your wall isn't public so I'll put the links on my wall.

What kind of figure would you like?
Maybe you could get a photo of her and have "world's best junior bridesmaid" & your wedding date? You could maybe do a trail run of her hair and dress and get your picture then.

Thank you Sarah.

I was thinking a little ballerina or a teddy bear but I want to be able to personalise it.. That is a good idea though with regards to getting a pic of her when having her hair done.. I may actually do that. I will now unrestrict my wall... :)

Hi,
I am looking at gifts for groomsmen and I have come across some hip flasks that you can get engraved only thing is I don't know what to put i would like something funny but also says thank you too.
'Thank you for today,
lets have a shot and say,
cheers on this lovely day.
Keep Clam And Drink TO That' ... its 4 lines long when I was looking before I come across same brill sayings now I can not find any. Any ideas?
Thanks xx

We're getting everyone (except for mothers) a bit of jewellery to give them on the morning (cufflinks for ushers, best man, my brother and father of the groom) necklace and earrings for the bridesmaids, we would give jewellery to the mothers but they're a little awkward with it, well his mum is, she likes her big costume jewellery... might get them something, but will have to have a think on it really. Would it look weird if they were wearing matching to each other on the day?

We're then getting little gift bags with bits in for the speeches, everyone is getting a little miniature drink in there and then whatever other bits we find for them.

This is what we have gone for;

(6x) Bridesmaids - Necklace, ear rings, bracelet with BM charm, personalised wine glass, photo frame and face pack. Will also be writing them all a personal thank you card

MOB & MOG - Flowers and a personalised glass.

H2b Nanna - Flowers as we received a generous contribution towards our Wedding, it pretty much paid for our venue!

FOB, FOG, Ushers (x3) & Best Man - Personalised Glass with a bottle of their fav drink.

I have a link on my wall for childrens favours/gifts if that helps anyone x

So happy, we found usher aftershave for the ushers :D

I've been looking for it for months, but couldn't find it anywhere in the shops.

Sad I know, but it'll be a nice little addition to their gift bags

What we have got now is

H2b, FOTB, Bestman and Usher - Personalised Hipflask.
Me (From H2b), BM and MOTB - Personalised Compact mirrors
MOTB and OTB have a coaster with a poem on it, My BM s my sister and she has a sister coaster
MOTG has got a Mug (She is difficult to buy for and doesnt really take an interest but wont have anyone say we didnt get her anything)

BM is getting a travel bag with Bridesmaid on it filled with mini toiletries the coaster and her jewellery and the compact mirror

Page Boy - Our Son - He is going to get a computer game and a personalised Yo-Yo.

Im thinking about getting my mum a personalised vase, She does a lot for us and it will make her feel more special too.

At the moment we are thinking:

Bridesmaids - gift bags with bits and bobs inside, including a bracelet or necklace, maybe a small teddy as a momento, a picture of us all together, chocolates and just little bits like that.
Flower girl - a teddy with a t-shirt on saying 'thanks for being our flower girl' and the date of the wedding.
Best men and my dad - engraved pocket watches. When we have the photos back I want to put a pic of me and my dad in a photo frame saying 'forever your little girl' or something like that, as a late gift.
The mums - jewellery

Anybody know a company where I can get customised hangers for my bridesmaids please? X
