Bridesmaid gift question

samwiches, 9 August, 2012 at 21:35 Posted on Planning 0 4

I have three bridesmaids - my cousin (MOH), my oldest friend, and my FSIL. I've obviously known my cousin and friend a very long time, but my FSIL (brother's fiancee, not my OH's sister), I've only known her about 6 months really - we've connected very well, hence me asking her to be a BM, but here's my issue:

I was going to get them photobooks (free from Vistaprint, such a vice of mine haha), but I only have about 3 pictures of me with my FSIL, so that wouldn't work. My next idea was give my cousin and friend a photobook, and my FSIL a picture frame with a picture of us in. But then I thought, the picture frame will cost at least a little more than the photobook, even if I buy a cheap one and pretty it up myself - so should I give all three of them a picture frame I've done up myself? The idea of the photobooks was to have pictures of me and each of them in from when we were kids to now, which obviously I can't have with FSIL, so I'd be losing that part of it, but gaining the more personal touch of making up the frame individually...

Help!

    The photo book idea is great and your BMs don't need to know that they were free so the cost difference really doesn't matter! I say go with the photobooks for 2 of them and a photo frame for the FSIL.

    Defo still do the photo books? they sound lovely, may have to steal idea!!! FSIL would understand that you don't have pics to do same for her surely. x

    Fry12 - when you sign up to Vistaprint, they send you free offers - you still have to pay postage, which is usually a few pounds, but it's a fraction of the price you would pay at the full retail price listed ? It's really very addictive lol

    Hey hun! I am also looking at doing this for my two girls, one who i have known from school i have no shortage of pics there but the other i have only know just over a year so i am just making sure we get loads of pics together over the coming months! I might just do a small collage of each for a frame tho

    i use snapfish and they tend to send offers thru pretty regular for freebies Smiley smile
