We picked our wedding date to fall after her 19th birthday so that she can have an actual toast with us

View quoted message Amazing! I'm checking that out tonight for sure!

Do it! i got my wedding bouquet on there for $20 and it is beautiful!! i got all my wedding party gifts and a bunch of decor from there as well!

View quoted message I really shopped around and went to people I know, to get a discount

View quoted message I keep hearing about aliexpress, I should go check it out finally!

Me too the catcus' are so cute!! you could also check on aliexpress for items. i got the girls entire proposal boxes for less than $20 each! i got them cactus luggage tags, sanitizes, sun glasses and a few other cute things for so cheap!

View quoted message Oh that's fair! My girls are really only responsible for planning the bachelorette, my mom and I have pretty much got the rest covered lol but I like your reasoning

View quoted message That's very true! I have a while to make some decisions, so I'll keep looking for ideas.

I’m looking to spend about $100 per bridesmaid for their gifts. I want it to be worth it since they are responsible for so much during the planning.

View quoted message Omg I love cactus! That would be so pretty! And yes I'm very lucky to have them on my special day and always, I know they'll be appreciative of anything and everything. So hard to put a price to it but the budget needs to spread lol

View quoted message Definitely writing a thank you for each, we're a very emotional bunch! lol

View quoted message That's awesome! Only 60?? I would've expected more with all the personalizing, what a great find!

View quoted message Wow! 8 sounds exciting! That's so great you have a friend to do the makeup, that helps a lot.

View quoted message Ohh a nails appt would be good too! I like that idea. I agree that the makeup isn't really hard, but I'm the only one of my friends and family that is really into it so I'd rather bring someone in so I don't have the stress of hair and makeup for 5 people on my special day. If my friends could do it I'd buy them wine and hire them lol

View quoted message That's so exciting! Your daughter as your MOH will be super special! My wedding is next fall so we do have time but it's flying so quickly, I just want to be prepared now so I don't have any number shock when it comes time for all the payments. lol

View quoted message 5 wonderful women to stand with you on your special day sounds fantastic! Lots of love to surround you ❤

View quoted message That's awesome! I'm thinking 125 is a reasonable budget, thank goodness

View quoted message Oohhh that would be perfect!!! I'm glad to know all of that can be done for 125! That's what I'm gonna aim for

View quoted message I love that! I wanted to do their dresses for them but at like 300 each I know I can't. Hair and makeup is probably safe and I know they'll appreciate it

They definitely didn't become your BM or MOH for gifts. Thoughtful gifts that let's them know you really thought about them (at a time it's all about you and hubby) will go a long way. The price isn't as important as the thought behind it.

View quoted message That sounds beautiful! I know they're not expecting anything but I want to do something special for them. I guess it'll just depend on the prices for the hair and makeup artists

Its what you can afford. theyre not doing this for gifts theyre there for you cuz theyre your bffs! i bought my girls small glass matching cactus jewelry plates and wrote them a nice individual note each. i wouldnt stress about a figure to spend on them!

I wouldn’t stress about it to much, they’re there to share the day with you. Do something thoughtful and unique to them. Write a thank you letter for the day of too, they will appreciate it!

I have a large wedding party 5 girls 5 guys. I got everyone robes and a personalized hanger and pocket watches for the guys. And a personalized champagne flutes. The gifts ended up being about $60 each. Spend what you can afford. Most bridesmaids expect to pay their own makeup and hair.

I have 8 so it’s not in my budget unfortunately, my wedding party will be paying their own. However I have a family friend doing the makeup for a low price and hair we are doing ourselves.

I have 1 MOH and 4 BM - for 5 girls I have set my budget for them to be $100 each. They bought their own dresses ($200/each) and we aren't getting our hair and makeup professionally done as one of the BM is a hair stylist and makeup really isn't that hard to do IMO... I've asked them what they would like and I think that the consensus was to take them out to get their nails done and maybe some waxing or eyebrow shaping.

Your MOH being your daughter is priceless to go for what you get her. The BMs budget is good and reasonable to give for what you have thought out.

For your mother and Grandmother, getting them a personal gift will be nice and to remember along with their hair and make up done with you.

I also feel as though it is what you are comfortable with.

I am trying to figure this out as well, although my wedding isn't until next summer so I have some time. My MOH is my soon to be 19 year old daughter, so I'll be buying her dress regardless and paying for hair and makeup. My bridesmaid is my sister.

I have 5🙄

I'm paying for my 3 girls' makeup and some extra home spa items. I'm aiming for it to come to $125ish as well.

I think whatever is in your budget. I am paying for my girls hair and makeup, and then got them each a personalized water bottle and a little “bridesmaid” hair elastic. Everything is about $125 a girl
