Bridal Party Gifts

I was just wondering what some of you are spending on the gifts. my FI and I just realized that we need to start budgeting and having some control of what we spend. Only respond if you feel comfortable doing so- Thanks!

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I spent about $125 each but I didn't mean to - I thought I'd keep it at $75. I got them chandelier earrings, pashminas, a skin care boxed gift from Sephora & clutch bags.

FH probably spent about $80 per guy - Coach credit card holders and a shirt that is significant to him.

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

oh i love this question. cuz i have the same issue of what to get them. i have an idea, but i want different ones. im spending on each of them like $75-100 depending on what i see. that is probably too much to spend. so im debating..if you get them jewelery you will probably assume to spend around $50ish i would think depending on what you are looking to get :)
hope this helps. any ideas of what to get ?

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

Wow! Where did you shop-You got so much for that price thats awesome.

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

yea seriously. thats a great deal!

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

Pashminas I tried to order off Orient Trend but the color didn't match, so I actually ended up getting black off ebay.
Chandelier earrings I got from Bloomingdales - originally $60, on sale for $30.
Gift set was $25 - a portion goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation which I liked b/c October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Clutch purses I got from a boutique near my co-op in Forest Hills. Originally $85, I cut a deal with the guy for $50 each - they match the dresses perfectly.

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

Oh those are really pretty- How much did they cost?

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

i spent $40 per person

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I cant stop buying things for them

I got them personalized hoodies (about $30)









I got them necklaces (about $25 after discount)




I'm getting them a Sephora Gift card ($25)



I'm also giving them silver slippers before they hit the slipper basket ($1.50)



And a nice black microfiber bag to carry it all in!





ETA b/c of someone asked:
I think I may have miscalculated on the hoodies. I bought the hoodies plain from target.com for under $20 somewhere between $15-$19 and the embroidery was about $19 for each. So maybe it was closer to $40.

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I'm not sure how much we are going to spend, our BP in total is 22 people. That will end up being alot of money no matter how little I try to spend, which of course I probably will spend a good amount on each of them.

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I am paying for their hair. Not sure what else yet!

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

So far, I have spent about $125 on each. I bought them diamond and white gold necklaces:

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I am spending 50 each for bridesmaids. 75 for Maid of Honor and 30 for junior bm's

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I was hoping to spend between 50 and 75, but I'm going to spend more on MOH because she is organizing my shower and bachelorette and has helped me every step of the way. I was thinking of getting her a coach bag from the outlets.

For rest of BP, day of jewelry and a swarovski compact.

Re: Bridal Party Gifts

I have $100 pp budgeted.
