I need some ideas for gifts for my bridesmaid's and groomsman. I only have 2 girls but neither of them are really girly which is why I'm so stuck on what to get them as a gift. My 3rd girl is a junior bridesmaid and is only 13...Any suggestions??
For men???

My husband and I received travel duffel bags embroidered with our initials and/or nicknames. That was several years ago, and we still use them everytime we travel either overnight or flying. Its useful unlike the tacky beer mugs, money holders, etc. that are sometimes given. For your junior bridesmaid maybe some earrings or a nice necklace or even a travel bag for her too.

With weddings becoming less traditional now (which is a good thing) I would treat it as if I were buying a birthday or Christmas present. Get something for the individual that they would like. They do not have to receive the same gifts or something that is in some way connected to the wedding. Set a price range then find a special gift for each one. Example...if the 13 yr old likes music buy her a few CD's. Or if she is girly she might like a necklace. The other two may not like a necklace if they aren't the girly girl type so get something more appropriate for them. The guys - the same thing.

My wedding was black and purple, and I gave my bridesmaids purple watches. They cost about $65 each, and they were good quality but not over the top. I also went to Things Remembered and got each of them a silver heart trinket box with their name engraved on the top. If I had gotten them each the watch or the box instead of both, I think that would have been enough too. I just wanted to do something a little extra.
The groomsmen were really hard to buy for, but I finally settled on some great CDs for the music lover and some great movies for the movie buff. The guys really liked them. I can't remember what we got the best man, but it was something different because he was an older gentleman.
Another idea for men is tickets to their favorite sports team. We would have done that because our groomsmen were huge baseball fans, but when we got married the Tigers were hopeless, not like they are today.
Congratulations on your wedding. I hope this helps.

I paid for my groomsman's hotel and travel since it was not a local wedding. But, I have been given the flask which was a great idea. But do not forget to fill it. ....
For the bridesmaid's gift, it doesn't have to be something to wear at the wedding. Choose each gift to fit the girl. My daughter says that a digital camera (does not have to be expensive) would be a great gift.

I was just in a wedding and all the bridesmaids received a sterling silver heart necklace set. I don't think thats too girly.....unless they hate jewelry. Then maybe a little picture frame or gift certificate to somewhere they like to eat, or to the movies! For the men, I'd say like pocket knife or wallets? Don't stress too much, it's your day and they should be honored to be in your wedding as it is.

Well I would think about what makes you friends as for the bridesmaids.What did you do that started your friendship,was it dancing at a club, shopping at a mall ,or making mud pies as little girls?If all else fails, then write them a beautiful letter explaining why you chose them as maids and how much the friendship means to you.For the 13 year old I would go to Claire's in the mall and pick out a cute bracelet or something.For the groomsmen I would go with something like a engraved money clip,that's a nice gift.

My daughters wedding is in 2 weeks. She bought silver frames...good ones so you can engrave on them. One the bridesmaids she Had " Bridesmaid for a day friends forever" on them. She put a picture of her and the brisedmaid in the frame and had the frame on the head table where they sat. She did the same for groomsmen except theirs said " Groomsmen for day pals for life".

Perhaps a really nice frame - holding a picture of you alone with each bridesmaid? Something they'll aways treasure, and remember the day by?

For my bridesmaids I bought them the necklace and earring set to wear on the day of my wedding.
My hubby bought his guys engraved flasks.
Hope this helps and congrats!

I gave all of the girls necklaces to wear during the wedding, but also took into consideration if they would wear them again. For example of on my color's is pink, which is the color of the candle lighter dress, but on is a tomboy and would never wear a pink necklace, so I got her a clear one, which she is more likely to wear.
my fiance got the guys flasks with their favorite NFL team and their names engraved.
