Bridesmaids/Groomsmen "Thank You's" ?????

by **Guest** on Sat Dec 27, 2008 9:15 pm

Just wondering what you ladies gave your "wedding party" as the Thank You gifts ?

We've seen cuff links for the guys, and flasks with their intials engraved with other weddings, and cant think of anything for the ladies.

The ages are a range from 19,22,30(Ladies) ,21,21,22(Gents)

Please post any ideas you have, Thank you so much in advance !

I did necklaces and purses for my attendants. They were silver chains with mauve-coloured square-stone pendants. They went with the dresses but were casual enough to be worn after-the-fact. Dh got his groomsmen chopsticks with silver ends and had their initials engraved in them.

we had no attendants for ourselves but the gifts we have best loved after being attendants were a flask(him) and a necklace(me) both were very very simple so we didn't feel guilty that the couple had gone to lots of extra expense and every time we see them we think of those events and the couples and are filled with great memories

We gave flasks to all our wedding party. The guys got black ones and the girls got pink ones. I think the girls liked theirs more than the guys...lol!

I believe a flask and the women/girls neclaces that went with the dress.

Perfect idea. Shaving kits. People never throw these away and they get used guaranteed. People are never unhappy to receive one of these. We buy ours from http://www.groomsmen.com

Good luck on it!

The boys got flasks with initals (common theme it appears but PERFECT for them)

The girls got freshwater pearl necklaces and earrings in a very simple but cute jewelery box. Perfect for the wedding but since freshwater pearls are not perfectly round and kinda "funky" then they could wear them after with just about anything including jeans... And I know they all wear them often.

My parents we got a digital picture frame (they had just come out and $$$)

My FIL got a watch, MIL got a simple swaroski necklace

And our MC who is my mom's lifelong BF. We got her a gorgous swavorski (yeah I can't spell

) necklace that she had spotted while shopping with my mom. She loved it so we splurged on her.

A friend of mine got all her bridesmaids charm necklaces with their initial and birthstone. She bought her husband the cuff links.

Necklaces for the ladies and flasks for the men.

Ended up getting different necklaces, matching their personalities not the dresses. Cause who can remember or care about the bridesmaids necklaces?! And I know they were worn after the fact (pictures) not tucked into a drawer for 'safe keeping'.

Have to say that I hate the flasks. My husband has had a few of them & I've given them to the Salvation Army. He doesn't use them.

I like some of the other previous mentioned ones of chopsticks & swiss army knives. We received a swiss army knife as a "wedding gift" before we eloped & we still use it to this day.

I think it depends on the people in your wedding party. If they are all hard alcohol drinkers & would appreciate a flask, then yes. But if they aren't hard alcohol drinkers it seems like a waste to just buy it to give them something. I think there should be some thought into what they like. Just my opinion though!:)

We gave our bridesmaids necklaces that went with the dresses.
Groomsmen got a beer mug with their initials engraved.
My husband got an engraved watch for being in someone else's wedding party
