wedding etiquette

[lady_p_gold]

Can anyone help with the latest thinking on presents for bridesmaids etc. Who gives what to whom ... the wedding I am speaking about has three bridesmaids, a pageboy, a best man of course and all the parents have helped out with money and arrangements ...... would appreciate some advice.

I think the bride buys and gives the pressies to all her bridesmaids and pageboys

Hi lady_p

Sorry don't know what protocol is now, but when I was bridesmaid to a friend, it was customary for the best man to give a small trinket to the bridesmaids...Whether the bride and groom purchased it/them and then the b/m gave them, I'm not sure...

Best man buys and gives gifts to the bride's maids.

When I got married in 2004, I bought the presents for my 3 bridesmaids, and my husband bought a present for the best man. We also bought a big bunch of flowers each for our mums, who had done a lot of the organising.
