    Hi there all, i am truly stuck and am now getting headaches trying to think what presents to get my best women, parents etc i dont want to give them something that they look at and think well i will never use that !! my mum always kills flowers so i cant go down that way either.

    What are you giving to your bridal parties as a thank you. I know it should be a little thing and its the thought that counts but my head is spinning !!!

    I wanted to give everyone a keepsake of the day so ive got:

    Engraved presesnts to everyone with their role, date,thankyou and our names (all differs with how much i could fit on)

    Mother: Vase and i will order big bunch of flowers to put in it on the day
    Fathers: Cufflinks and an engraved message on the boxes too
    Ushers: shot glass and silver plectrum
    Best men: wine glass and silver plectrum

    And ive also got:

    Flower girl: pearl bracelet with her name on and a bigger band so she can wear it as she gets older

    Bridesmaids: im buying their jewellery and earings they will wear on day

    I wanted to get everyone something thats personal to them so i got silver plectrums cuz the usher loves to play guitar, best man wine glass cuz he loves his wine etc

    Its difficult to think of what to get hun. Go onto ebay and type in bridesmaids gifts and it comes up with lots different things xxx

    We thought long and hard about this and finally decided. Nothing. None of them are expecting anything, I bought the BMs jewellery for the day so they can have that! Not sure if we are having a best man until the day before (!) if he arrives. So not point in spending money there. And would rather buy something for the 2 mums when we are on honeymoon. No-one is expecting anything and to be honest, we have spent too much already and both mums have had a birthday very recently, my mums on the 23rd April and H2Bs mum on 26th April so they will have been spoilt already! xxx

    (You wait, I'm going to start feeling guilty now and order the mums flowers........ lol)

    I haven't bought any thank you gifts yet, but saw one for my MIL2b last night on ebizzle, a sock bouquet! She loves socks and flowers so I think it will make her giggle and whenever she wants a new pair of socks, she can pluck a pair out of this bouquet, lol. It also has some wooden scented flowers in there too, so am happy with that. Also have a tea cup and saucer each for FIL2b and MIL2b with mother and father on the side. As for everyone else, haven't got a scooby right now! :) x
