BM

[BEACHBRIDEMA]

Hey girls

How much do you plan on spending for your BM thank you gifts. I have 4 BM, so I was thinking around $100 each.

I have gotten then a cute starfish necklace, paying for their hair, I want to get them a cute pair of flip flops and I might buy their shoes.

Do you think this is enough or is it cheap?

Thanks for your help

That's about what I spent. If you want to get another small thing that makes the gift seem bigger what about a cute beachy keychain: Ribbon Watches, Ribbon Jewelry, Ribbon Belts, Ribbon Headbands and more!

Those are very JCrew looking Janet.

I bought my girls their necklaces and will probably get them one other thing...the necklaces were about $60.

I'm planning to spend about the same...I think I'm going to get them each a personalized compact mirror and then buy a spa treatment for each of them at the resort during our spa day.

What a great idea about the spa treatment, my BM's would love that!!

My FI and I want to give our bridal party their plane tickets to Cabo for our presents....is that a good idea? It was that or their hotel...

I only have one BM & I bought her dress ($100), I am going to give her a very pretty starfish necklace that was approx $45. I am also paying for her hair & make up ($225) up as well as a pedicure the day before the wedding ($50). Wow - that's $420!!! I think I'm good...

 

Andrea - that is a very generous thing for your bridal party! That is wonderful if you can do it.

I spent just under $100/ea for mine. I had 5 girls and I made little "spa" baskets for them. Just yummy bath/spa stuff, some really amazing candles and bathrobes. They all seemed to like their stuff - the robes and candles in particular seemed to be a hit.

 

I do really like all your ideas about getting them something "useful" too...like paying for the hair, or maybe mani/pedi etc. The plane ticket idea is very nice too! I'm sure they would be thrilled!

 

 

Just in case you're interested....here are some site for the candles. The salon I go to sells them but I haven't really seen them anywhere else. They are my favorite candles in general but esp. to give as gifts - they burn SO well (long lasting etc) and have a great collection of scents available. The ones I chose for the BM gifts were actually called Wedding...and they seriously smell amazing! It's too bad we can't smell things online!

 

 

The first one is the official site - for some reason I can't get it to load properly - not sure if it's just my crappy work computer or the page iteself.

 

Voluspa Candles, Gifts, fragrant incense aromatic room spray

 

 

This next one is a site that sells those candles as well.

 

Voluspa, Voluspa Candles, Voluspa Products, Voluspa Fragrances, Voluspa Room Spray, Voluspa Incense, Voluspa Soap, Voluspa Lotion, Voluspa Candle Tins

Where did you guys find starfish necklaces? That's a really cute idea and I'd like to see a picture!

I look on ebay a lot, they have all kinds of starfish necklaces. I actually bought a crystal starfish off of ebay and want to make a necklace to wear for the wedding, the necklaces that have a couple of wires and have little beads throughout the wires (my description is horrible) I have a client that I set up that owns a bead kiosk thing, and while I don't want something with lots of beads, I know they can help me create the necklace I want, and even if its not right for the wedding I'll find something to wear it for!!

 

Also, I did searches for starfish jewelry and found tons of sites, but they're all so different, I'm sure you can find something you'll like!
