Thank you Gifts

[JOEYGREEN]

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on what to buy:-
1. Mother/Father in Law (helped with flowers and other bits etc)
2. Mother (buying cake)
3. Father (buying wedding dress)
4. Friend of Mother (Flower arranging, made table centres etc)
5. Best man and 4 ushers
6. 4 Bridesmaids
7. 2 Page boys and 1 flower girl

Thanks in advance

I take it everyone is as stumped as I am! Oh dear.

well usually you just by presents for bridesamaids, necklace to wear on the day, the groom gets best men presents, cufflinks usually to wear on day then you just buy the mothers of Bride and Groom a bunch of flowers. Its your day not theirs.

Thanks 4get. Thought of flowers but also thought maybe they were sick of the sight of them. I'll come up with something.

i bought my bridesmaids necklaces.
My mum and dad shared cost of wedding but i didnt get them anything
Grooms parents did the flowers as their wedding gift to us so we didnt buy them anything
The groom sorted out the best man, think he got him and the ushers their fave spirits.
Just make sure that everyone is thanked in the speeches.

Sorry if this is a bit late...

Bridesmaids - normally a necklace or piece of jewellery, but make sure they know it is simply a gift and that they don't have to wear it for the big day

Bestman/Ushers - cufflinks, or maybe for the Bestman a silver hip flask

Parents - We didn't give the dads anything (ooh, now I feel bad!) but just after the speeches we each gave our new mum a huge bouquet of flowers to say thanks for everything.

Remember as 4getmenot says, it's your day, so it doesn't have to be expensive gifts, just a wee keepsake to say thanks!

Good luck for your big day.

at a wedding recently and the bridesmaids had their jewellery on the day bought for them (necklace, bracelet and earrings), the best men got given cufflinks and the mothers got given the gorgeous flower arrangements that were on the top table.

have a great day - and does this mean that you have to relinquish your adoration for wentworth????????
