    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

    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

    2x paigeboys - Personlised yo-yo for one and a personilised plane for the other, personilsed pj's for the morning, thank you card, cuff links and socks to wear that day
    Both dads - a pewter tankard,
    Both mums - Memory box with thank you card, crystal rose, framed peronlised poem on a picture of roses, thank you card, and something else just not sure what yet. Will also be room for the bits and bobs from the day

    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
