    I am spending around $150 on each bridesmaid, not including the "asking gift". I have a personalize item for each of them as a thank you gift for the shower and bachelorrette, as well as a personalized tote bag with goodies, their jellewry and a clutch for the day off (I found a as bridemaid I needed a clutch in past weddings). I am also providing them with a gift afterwards. I am also planning a cute photo opportunity that I'll give them once the photographs are in from the day of.

    I am planning to spend about $100-$150 on my bridesmaids. I've already got each of them a stemless wine glass with their initial on it, they were $10 each, and I'm planning to get them pajamas (simple from La Senza or Target < $25) as well as a pearl pendant necklace and pearl stud earrings plus a few items that they may need on the wedding day (hair pins, mints, deodorant, etc)

    I wanted to do a sort of goody bag as the gift because I know I love getting a bunch of little things that I will actually wear/use.

    My bridesmaids are my two girls who are 6 and almost 10. I obviously bought their dresses and shoes. They have each gotten new earrings (my youngest got her ears pierced a week ago). I'll be paying for their hair and we'll do their nails at home. My mom contributed $25 for each of our 5 kids.

    I think it all depends on your budget. You're friends will most likely love whatever gift you give them, no matter the cost. You could also make them something if you would like to save a little money.

    I'm thinking of getting the 3 of us matching monogrammed pajamas which are ~90$ each. Since I only have 2 people in my party and one of them is a guy, I let my girlfriend choose whatever dress and shoes she'd like. For my guy friend, I want him to match the guys on my fiancé's side so I will be paying for his suit rental which is ~100ish I'm not sure yet. We are on a tight budget so I unfortunately can't spend as much as most people on their wedding party.
    I've also been a Bridesmaid in a wedding where they didn't pay for anything and didn't get a gift and I was totally fine with that. It's all in a person's budget!

    Spent about $250 for dresses (got them at 30% off), and another $17 in earrings from Ardenes. Yet to buy their bracelets, which would be their main gift. Bought their bouquets as well, $15 each. Depending on your budget, I'd say budget about $200 per person.

    My gift to my bridesmaids was their dresses. I spent approximately $1200 for dresses in total and appxoimately $300 in total for bracelets asking them to be in my bridal party.
