thankyou gifts ..... blah!

Might not be what your after but here is what I got mine - might give you an idea or two.

BM - necklaces (not to wear on the day) little bag with essentials in like compact mirrors, tissues, lip gloss, chocolate bar, mints, T-shirts with bridesmaids on for getting ready.

Best man - OH got him cufflinks with his initials on and a lighter engraved. I got him some BM socks, hip flask and also some bits like for the BMs too, tissues, mints. All the things he would forget.

Dad - cufflinks with FOTB on and engraving on the box. FOTB socks. Little survival pack .... £1 coin too so I can't say I have left him penniless ha.

FIL - socks and cuffs with FOTG on.

Mums - my mum got a jewellery box and little necklace, t-shirt for getting ready too. MOTG will get some flowers the day before.

I have three friends - all professionals - doing my hair, make up and beauty. For them. I went to vom fass I think it's called, they do all different flavoured vodka and other alcohols and put them in lovely bottles shaped in shoes, stars and all sorted. Lovely little thank you, with some chocolates, a card and little east of India thank you tag.

Sorry have no ushers or page boys. All presents will be given the night before.

Good luck.

I've just been looking on www.confetti.co.uk and seen some lovely compact mirrors they will engrave, also personalised champagne flutes for BM's. Have a little look on there x

I am doing little bags like these for the bridesmaids too, although got some cute vintage patterned hankies of Etsy rather than tissues ;-)

I have also got dressing gowns for me, my bridesmaids and my mum to get ready in.

We are still undecided on what we are going to get the men but I have designed stickers to match the rest of my wedding stationery that we are going to stick on to a bottle of prosecco for each member of the wedding party with their names, roles and thank you on. I will flash if I ever get the original stickers scraped of the wine bottles in order to stick the new ones on, lol!

So far ive only bought necklaces for my BMs and my mother

men seem harder than women to buy for

Hiya, We did the following:

ive got 4 bridesmaids: I bought them their dress, shoes and hair clip/slides, necklaces, bracelets, earrings

best man : His suit and cufflinks

2 ushers Cufflinks (my 2 brothers, one in IT got micro/computer chip ones and the other a police officer got helmet ones)

2 page boys- didn't have them- how old are they?

FIL and my dad- Cufflinks again

both mums- Took them out for afternoon tea

ive got an uncle making the cake- does he like booze? Have any hobbies?

3 cousins, 1 doing makeup, 1 hair and the other is doing all the flowers: Are they girls? Pamper type stuff- little make up bag with a couple of bits in or maybe photo frames?7

Also we had both sets of parents over for a meal and took each of my brothers and their GFs out as they helped us lots. good luck.

Here is what I have so far ..

BM's - earrings and bracelet to wear on the day and a bottle of prosecco (because the 3of them love it) to give at the speeches

Dad - 2 engraved pen (1 for his car 1 for his office)

Mum + MIL - engraved photo frame

BM - engraved zippo lighter in Matt black

Usher - bottle of Smirnoff black vodka (which he loves, but wouldn't buy for himself)

Still have 1 more usher to buy for and FIL (not really other half dad) so finding it hard to pick something.

Hope all the posts give you some ideas xx

Thankyou everyone for all the ideas.

i think im over thinking it all.

i have taken note of all the gifts and i will sort it out.

weddings are endless choices to be made lol
