I'm the maid of honor in two upcoming weddings. I bought both girls something fairly inexpensive for their showers that I attended. I want to get them each something more personal and special closer to their weddings. Not anything outrageously expensive either. Any suggestions as to what to get my brides?

Wedding albums that have there name and wedding date on them. There are many good sites that sell these at good prices. Picture frames are always good. You never have enough and with all the new wedding pictures they will need them. Or if they are taking a honeymoon soon then a gift basket that they can take with them.

How about making them arrangements for a massage on the day of or even the day before, depending on what time the weddings are. Every bride should have some relax time before the big day with all the stress and everything, so why not a massage to really relax them, that would make a great gift and I'm sure they would most definatley appreciate it. Obviously you are a great person to be a MOH in two weddings!! Good Luck and have a great time!

I embroidered a handkerchief for my friend's wedding last September. She had used her fiance's last initial as the theme for the whole wedding, so I took a copy of that, matched embroidery thread to her colors and embroidered it on the corner of a lace-edged handkerchief that was the same color as her dress. She wrapped it around her bouquet and used it to dab away those tender tears that so many brides get during the service.
She was so honored by it, she even had the photographer take a photo of the handkerchief to put in her wedding album. Not an expensive gift, but very meaningful.

i always say stick to the registry. it is the things she (they) want.
are you close to the other bridesmaids? perhaps you can go in on something big, like their entire bedroom set (meaning comforter, sheets, and pillowcases, ect.). that would be a very lovely gift.
if you really know them well enough to go off the registry, i would get scrapebooking items. many brides make a scrapebook about their wedding day. you can get her (them) the albums, the stickers, the pages, all that fun stuff. :) Then you can write her a little note saying that you would love to help her out with it. you could even do the first couple pages, like an engagement or bridal shower page, trying on the dresses, ect.
something that i did not register for and love to pieces is the Wedding Couple in the willow collection. it is so pretty.

i love it so much and there are many other kinds. you could get them the big one and several smaller ones so she could have a little collection.

How about asking the couples other friends and family to see if they have a great picture of the couple. Then take that and get a engraved picture frame with there new names and the wedding date.

If you have a digital camera, take some good pictures of the ceremony & bride and groom. Have a custom made frames before hand and then bring your camera or memory card into a walgreens, target, or similar place that prints digital pictures, between the ceremony and reception. They will be surprised to see pictures from their wedding so nicely done so quickly.

how about a picture frame that they can put their wedding picture in? have a mat inside the frame in their wedding color(s) that says their names, day of the wedding, and things like "to have and to hold" and "from this day forward". we did that for one of my sisters and she loved it.
my other sister had a quilt made with pictures of our entire family on it. at her reception we handed out sharpies and everyone wrote a special message to her and her new husband on it. it's something you can keep and pass on to your children and it will always remind you of happy times :)

What about a personalized wedding scrapbook.
This one is nice and you can personalize their names and wedding date.
