Presents

My bridesmaid collects Pandora beads for her bracelet so we'll source one of those, if not a nice necklace or other item of jewellery.
My OH is having two best men but no ushers, we'll get them a tankard with 'cheers, you're the best man' on them.
The fathers we were going to give a bottle of whiskey each but the venue does not allow any alcohol brought onto the premises, not even favours, so not quite sure about that yet.
The mums we'll get flowers or a plant each we think.

My friend at her wedding, got everyone silly presents with a story behind each one and it's a great way to cut costs.

I was thinking some kind of bracelet for the bridesmaids - like a silver bangle or charm bracelet. Depends on how old your BM's are though.

Best man - I am going to let me OH have the deciding vote on that as he is his best friend and I wouldn't know where to start if I'm honest.

Mothers - flowers is a good idea but I was thinking of putting a little keep sake with my mum's present - you can get some lovely things on ebay with poems on.

I have no idea about my dad.. might have to get my OH to help with that one but again something to keep I think.

The ushers would depend on age/preference etc but I would be tempted to head towards wine/beer bottle and maybe a little keepsake.

I don't know if that helps at all... I am still trying to decide on this too. I want something nice without it being tacky if you know what I mean!

I know I am a jewellery designer and therefore would say this ? but jewellery is a great option for Bridesmaids and MoTB as they can wear it on the day as part of their outfit. For the boys, hip flask, personalised glass, red letter day, good bottle of spirits, cufflinks.
