I don't want to be cheap, nor over the top. I have never been in a wedding, so I have experience to draw from.
So far, I got them a jewelry set (ncklace, earrings and bracelet) They are cute, but not terribly expensive. About $25.
I am also arranging for a Home spa pampering session. Kinda like a home party without the selling. I'll just be buying them a set of pampering items like body lotion and bath scrub or something like that.
Is that enough? Should I add something else?
I also let them pick their own style of dress that fit their taste and budget.

That seems great to me! Do they get to pick out the sent of the lotions etc too? If I were a bridemaid I would be very happy with this gift. This paper session could double as your bridesmaid luncheon. You could order out some nice sandwiches and so girly finger foods and something sparkely to drink. This could be a great way for you and your girls to unwind and let some of your bridesmaid who may not know eachother bond a little.
Have fun and congrats!

I know from LOTS of experience the best bridesmaids gifts are Jewelry for the wedding. But if you want to do something a litte extra getting a hairstylist and makeup artist to come morning of the wedding, to your suite, is always alot of fun. You know provide some fruit and vege trays, make it a very relaxing morning for you and your maids. And then everyone can just get dressed together. I have done this 4 times in 2 years and it always seems to work out GREAT! Gongrats and Good Luck!

I think the gifts you have gotten for them already are very nice and not over the top. nor are they not enough. If you feel as though you need to do more, then I would say do something heartfelt, like a picture with you and each of your bridesmaids, have it frames with a matted and on the matte, add a nice poem or a quote that describes your relationship with that person. this should not cost too much moeny.

I allowed my bridesmaids to choose their own dresses also after I gave them the color. but for their gifts, i bought their jewelry and shoes. If you are only wanted to do about $25 each, go for getting their jewelry and putting it in a little gift bag with the lotions. Victoria's Secret is getting ready to have their big sales event and that would be a great time to buy lotions in bulk.

I disagree with the previous poster. you do no longer could purchase all of them some thing diverse. i'm procuring the jewelery for my bridesmaids. What i attempted to keep in mind became in the event that they might additionally placed on the jewelery with different issues. now and returned if it is so fancy, they might discover it challenging to placed on very in many circumstances. My bridesmaids additionally bought their very own attire and shoes. i'm no longer procuring them to get their hair achieved, as i won't have sufficient money it. What i had to do became spend approximately $50 on their jewelery (jewelry and necklace). i presumed that became marvelous! i'm additionally getting their jewelery particularly made. good luck to you! purely %. a value that suits on your funds. in the adventure that your bridesmaids are particularly your friends, the fee won't count number. i'm advantageous they're going to delight in the jewelery. superb of luck to you and congrats! :o)

I think that's perfect. The combination of gifts and the fact you let them choose their dress style shows plenty of thoughtfulness. You should also write them a nice thank you note to go with their jewelry gift.

I think that is good. It is more than I have received before. You could throw in a $15.00 Starbucks card or a little Godiva chocolate if you feel like you want to add a little more.

I think that's fine. If you had them buying $300 dresses and traveling to a destination, I'd do more, but I think you're okay... The only thing you might want to add is mani/pedi sessions - but only if you're doing it for yourself.
