Hi ladies, just been making a final list of things we need to sort out and trying to decide what gifts to get for people on the day! i know you buy your bridesmaids and grooms men things, and am i right in thinking you buy MOB and MOG pressies too? Also, do you get FOB and FOG pressies? Trouble is, h2b has a step-mum now and his mum has a partner so do we get them a little something too? If so im really struggling as what to buy for the men, women are easy with flowers! i dunno what to do xxx

Had our amazing twin boys 16/05/2008
Finally becoming Mrs Davies on 31/08/2012 will make me the
happiest lady alive :-)

Give a gift to who you want to hun, and who you feel has been involved in your wedding. I'm going to get a gift for each to do as a couple, maybe a show or something but there's no new partners involved so all good on that front x

clbronze, ebay do little lucky sixpences (think the packaging is personalised) and then get them a toy or colouring book or something? Thanks guys, Id just never heard of men getting presents but now thinking about it my dad is buying my dress,tiara and veil, h2bs dad has given us money towards the venue and h2b's step dad is paying half to our familymoon next year so i suppose it would be naughty if i didnt get them something! im really struggling as what to get tho coz id get them all personalised glasses but my dad doesnt drinkg :-/ Gonna have to do some searching arent i lol! xxx

my dad is a right pain in the backside and if i bought him cufflinks i know he'd be saying 'why on earth would she buy me these' lol! i was actually just thinking i might just get them a voucher for their fave restaurants (as couples) :-) is that enough? or do you think i should get the ladies flowers too? ive not got a fortune to spend on them unfortunately :( xxx

That's a good idea ziggyboo- I'll have a look. I think flowers are fine- its just something as a token to say 'thanks'. I'm also having pics of us in vintage frames as part of the decor and will dish those out between mums and bms. X
