Bridal party presesnts?

pink1908, 18 May, 2011 at 20:19 Posted on Planning 0 4

Just wondering what you were getting your bridal party for thank you presents (Bridesmaids, best man, father of the bride etc) and are you handing them out during speeches or before/after the wedding?

    We gave presents in the morning (girls had personalised gift bags with jewellery, voucher and engraved compact mirror) and then just gave out thank you cards during speeches.

    I kinda went with tradition and gave my b.maids their gifts during the speaches, as well as the 2 mums (however we gave them photo albums rather than flowers)

    OH has sent one of his ushers some beer (about 1 month after the wedding) and is planning on getting his BM an guitar.

    I got my CBM a tiffany's necklace as she was such an amazing CBM, from dress shopping replying to my "what do you think if this for the wedding?" emails, organising a brilliant hen night AND amazing hen weekend, she was brilliant and wanted to get her something to show how much i appreciated everything.

    my 2nd b.maid i got some old b&w photos of some of our fave hangouts from when we were students and from where her me and OH hand out and framed them, my niece i got a locket similar to one i have and she loves! my 2 little flower girls i got personalised memory books from Puudy cards (a HIB)

    hope this waffling helps!

    We are giving out the presents in the morning just because I'm of the opinion that handing lots of pressies out in the speeches can be quite boring for all the other guests.

    BMs - Swarovski necklace and earrings

    Mum - Pearl jewellery set & engraved photo frame

    MIL2B - Swarovski earrings and engraved photo frame

    Dad - Engraved pen set

    FIL2B - engraved beer tankard

    Ushers & Best Man - Swarovski cufflinks

    (can you tell I took advantage of the Swarovski online sale?! 😄)

    I also got my mum this little extra off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PERSONALISED-MOTHER-BRIDE-SURVIVAL-KIT-GIFT-CARD-/140504488665?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_Occasions_ET&var=&hash=item6672c572f0
