I'm getting married this friday and have not been able to buy gifts for my attendants yet due to money constraints. I will be buying the gifts the day before the wedding so I can not buy anything online. Does anyone have any suggestions for nice gifts I can buy for each person? 1 best man, 1 maid of honor, 3 groomsmen, 3 bridesmaids, 1 flower princess (older), 1 ring bearer (younger)

Get to Things Remembered as soon as you possibly can. Or, just pick out some simple necklaces for the girls, flasks for the guys. No one says these things have to be monogrammed.
If money is really tight, then maybe pick out a really nice case of wine and wrap each one in some nice fabric. The kids will probably like anything that you get them.
I did monogrammed stadium blankets for my bridesmaids (we all used to go to college football games together) and monogrammed beer steins for the guys (hubby's drinking buddies + my brother).

I took care of the female attendants and left it up to my fiance to take care of the male attendants. I thought it was only fair since they are HIS attendants and I have so much other stuff to do, and he agreed. I can't for the life of me remember what he bought the guys. I think he said something about a nice desk pen set in a wooden case with a fancy pen in a holder and a note pad and calculator in a wooden box or something. He still hasn't bought a ring bearer gift yet though. But if it was up to me i think i would have gotten them each a nice watch or cufflinks something).
For the women i bought them each a piece of jewellry that they could wear at the wedding. If you go that route make sure it will go with their dresses and it doesn't have to be real or fancy. There is lots of nice inexpensive costume jewelly out there. I just went to a nice department store (if you;re not Canadian you probably haven't heard of The Bay. It's kinda like JC Penny) and bought my maid of honor a low grade cubic zirconia pendant and the bridesmaids each got a pair of cub zirconia earrings. I want to get the flower girls each a small locket, but i haven't been able to find any I like yet.
Hope that helps!

For the grooms men= go to Lowe's, Home depot, or Bed Bath and Beyond and get an assortment of grilling items I got a grill skillet, grill rub/spices, smoker box and smoker chips. I used the skilllet like a basket and wrapped the rest on top of the skillet. Our groomsmen loved it. They already had plenty of the classic flasks from other weddings, and thought our gift was useful and original.
Get the bridesmaids necklaces they could wear with their dresses, or matching purses with litle goodies inside.
Flower girls- a necklace would do as well.
Ring bearer- get a teddy bear dressed in a tux like him- a Craft store has these

I bought all 7 of my bridesmaids these REALLY cute flip mirrors that were black & had a crystal on the front, for their purse. Got them @ this little boutique f/ $20 ea. You need to check out girly boutiques for the bridesmaids & maid of Honor - They always have a bunch of cute things that normally you wouldn't buy for yourself, but would LOVE to have!!! For the flower girl I bought her cute silver necklace for like $20 & put together a little basket w/ colors & stickers & stuff that she would like (4 yrs old). The same thing w/ my ring bearer - A basket full of goodies that he would like. My groomsmen got a flask from the King Ranch -- They were nice (but $28 ea - OUCH!!). My husband picked those!!
Good luck & CONGRATS!!!

I suggest some nice jewelery sets for all of them. Go to the mall and i'm sure you could find something along those lines, also affordable.
If not that, then try a gift basket/bag of spa and beauty gifts from bath and body works. They always have nice gift bags there, or if you choose something different for the each of them, the cashiers can always bag them up or wrap them really nice, to make them look like gifts.
Hope this helps, best of luck.

I got my attendants silver heart lockets which they wore for the wedding. My husband got his engraved keychains and money clips.
For the flower girl, maybe some jewellery too. When my son was a ring bearer, he was given a huge Tonka truck, and it was just the right thing!

I am sure you can get nice bracelets for the girls at Walmart, real gold. I gave my one attendant a bracelet set, I got them at a jewelry store. Just the thin chain type. Or birthstone earrings.
The groom should take care of the gifts for the guy attendants.
Where I live, we give attendant gifts.

An easy one for the girls in the wedding would be a really nice journal. Then write a note to each one on the inside cover about how happy you are they are in your wedding and how much they mean to you. For the guys you could get them alcohol... always seems to be appreciated. ;) For the flower girl, maybe a bride barbie, stuffed animal, or necklace. And for the ring bearer a stuffed animal or piggy bank. :) Congrats on the wedding!
