Hey everyone!! i'm getting married in July, we have a good size wedding party 4 big bridesmaids, 3 flowergirls, 2 paigeboys, 2 ushers & 2 bestmen has anyone got any good ideas or websites for thank you gifts. Thanks xx

humm, you could always go with jewellry for the bridesmaids, a goody bag for the flower girls and paigeboys and erhh pass for the men lol. otherwise do something a bit out of the ordinary. what kinds of things do they like and how much money are you wanting to spend? you could do anything from personalised cufflinks etc to arranging gokarting to a race track day for the boys, spa day or pole dancing lessons for the girls... what were you thinking, big or small???? xxx

Ive bought my bridesmaids matching diamante necklaces and have made my mum and h2b's mum a tibetan bookmark but am not sure what else to get them. Not sure what to get best man, ushers or both fathers either as the traditional flasks etc dont really fit in with their lives so would seem silly giving them something that clearly doesnt relate to them!
I thought my post would be of some help but reading it back i think its a bit useless so sorry lol x

I have no idea but i was thinking of possibly taking photos when i meet my bms for shopping and throught the process and creating them a little photobook with a thankyou message printed in the front with all the photos of the lead up to our day and a couple of photos from hen do and our wedding day in there for them to have.
Thank you ladies!! Yeah i think it maybe jewlery for the big ones i've found a lady who does pandora style bracelets with all different charms that i like the look of, if you give them the gift in the morning to wear do you need to give them another when you do speeches? we were thinking about cufflinks but again i'm not sure the flasks wouldn't suit any of our wedding party either. Oohhh its the only part taht is really stressing me out!! i love the idea for the photos and the album :) xxx

I was stuck for ages on what to buy but we have ended up with the following...
Bestman - £50 Voucher for House of Fraser Ushers - £30 Voucher for House of Fraser (There the type of blokes who would appreciate this more than something personalised that they can keep) Bridesmaids - Bracelet and Earings that they will be wearing on the day Pageboys - Personalised Wooden trains with carriages
Not sure what to get Mums and Dads yet
We are giving all the gifts out when we do the speeches but as the bridesmaids will already have theirs on we didnt want them to feel left out so I have made them each a little Thank you card with a poem that in to give them xx

We had to buy for our best man, usher and one bridesmaid. We didn't want to waste money on the 'traditional' tankard/cufflinks/hipflasks etc as we knew they'd only be a waste as they wouldn't get used. For the best man (husband's brother) and usher (my son) we bought gift cards for 'Game' as they both love computer games and consoles. For the bm we bought gold earrings as they were something she could wear for the wedding as well.
For the mothers we did the traditional bouquet of flowers.

We haven't actually bought the best men a gift as such, we have bought their suits though so I think that is fair enough.
For the bridesmaids I have bought them necklaces which they can wear on the day, the flower girls and page boy we have bought Bears from the Bear Factory.x

wish bracelet
im buying my bridesmaids a wish bracelet from ebay, when they tie it on their wrists they have to make a wish then when the bracelet breaks the wish is meant to come true.
caught the catch of my lifetime

I was getting my bm's a pandora bracelet and but just couldn't afford it. They all the bracelets already so I've managed to get them each a charm that personal to them - bonus was they were all in the sale! I was thinking of getting my mum a bracelet of some sort. no idea what to get the best man and I've no idea who it is as h2b wont tell me yet lol. mums will be getting the standard bouquet of flowers as well no idea what to get my son who is page boy
as for h2b, he's getting me lol x
CommentAuthorMrsDanks
So far for our thank you gifts we have bought a pandora bracelet for my Nan as she has really helped us out. Personalised bead bracelets for our flower girls and child bridesmaids which cost £4 each, I have also bought them little engraved trinket boxes which were £10. Zippo lighters which will be engraved for the best man and each usher. I just need to think of something for our adult bridesmaid, probably another bracelet of some kind but a more grown up version. xx

CommentAuthorroberta90
I am going to make presents for the girls - jewellery and as for the others might get engraved tankards, hip flasks or lighters or something like that. As for page boys dont know if we are having any yet! x
CommentAuthorFernP61

CommentAuthorXx Lou xX
We decided we are going to give the main present in the morning and give a small something at the meal as an extra thanks .. .well i had a good find today I went into a new shop on our high street today (it sells cards, homemade soaps, vintage style frames etc) anyways they have bath teabags - i've never heard of them but they smell gorgous & they come in a bag that said thanks or happy birthday etc anyways the lady said she will personlise them for me so they will say thank you for being our bridesmaid 27.7.13 at no extra cost :) xx
CommentAuthorTotallyLovedUp
