    Hi,
    I was wondering when you are giving your BMs their thank you gifts?
    Are you buying their jewelry for the day and giving another gift during the speeches or are you just giving the jewelry to wear on the day as their thank you present and nothing during speeches? Or a gift during the speeches and they wear their own jewelry?
    Some people have said you have to buy both but I've been BM twice where the jewelry was my gift and once where I wore my own and received a necklace during speeches so not sure what to do!

    My sister got a gift voucher to put towards a handbag she had her eye on, my best mate got a pair of earrings and our FG who is only 3 got a playdoh set/toy. We gave them all out during the speeches x

    Thankyou both.
    Lala- wow tiffany necklaces; that's lovely!
    InDreamland- did you buy wedding jewelry too or did they wear their own?

    I'm not buying their shoes which I already feel bad about but I'm not asking them to wear the same so hopefully it's okay but seems silly buying jewelry for them for the day and then a gift which will most likely be jewelry for a thank you if that makes sense?

    The only reason they got Tiffany necklaces (£150 each) was because my three bridesmaids were my daughters !

    I didn't buy their shoes either, they wore their own. They also wore their own jewellery, I wasn't too fussed about what they wore as I trusted them to wear something appropriate and I just said to go glamorous and elegant, they insisted they at least wore similar jewellery to each other so they brought loads on the morning of the wedding after discussing what they had with each other then decided what looked best and was similar.

    I'm only having my sister as my BM so she will be getting her jewellery as her gift she will wear it on the day but I may give her a bracelet to finish off the set at the speeches.
