Wedding question?

Question

So my sister is getting married and wants to know if traditionally she is supposed to get all her bridesmaids gifts to give them on the wedding day? She already purchased something for them all but if it's definetly traditional should she get them more things? She spend like 30 bucks on each at sephora getting like bath stuff and things like that..is that good enough?

Answer 1

It is traditional to do that but what she brought them is more than enough. you purchase anything you want.

Answer 2

I gave my girls their gifts at the rehersal dinner. A lot of brides give jewelry for them to wear the day of the wedding. $30 a piece is totally fine, but I would not suggest bath stuff. That seems like such a cliche gift. I get all these bath sets from random people for holidays, ect. and I never use them. Plus it makes me feel like they don't really know me. It is so impersonal and these are supposed to be your closest friends. One great idea that she could still pick up is flipflops.I gave them to my girls and every wedding I have ever been in has given them to me. Believe me....all the girls will thank her.....no one wants to be in those heels all day and all night. Old Navy has great, super comfy ones.....2 for $5 and in every possible color.Hope I helped!

Answer 3

it's up to the bride to decide how much she can afford and want to spend on her bridesmaids.  the bridesmaids are helping the bride out during wedding preparations.  if she can afford to spend more than what she has already spent, and wishes to spend more on her friends, then she has the right to do so.  if she can't afford to spend more than what she has already spent, then what she has purchased should be given and accepted with deep gratitude by her bridesmaids.

Answer 4

That is good enough.

Every wedding I've been in, we all get matching jewelry to wear in the wedding, that way it's our gift, but it also helps her out so we all match

..Usually no more than $15 each (they buy boxed set of earrings and necklace from Goody's or somewhere similar).

What she bought was sufficient.

Answer 5

Sounds like plenty to me!  Traditionally the bride does give her bridesmaids gifts...kinda like a thank you thing.  Same with the groom and groomsmen.  You can give them whatever you would like to.

Answer 6

Yes, they know that she is getting married and the large expense that she is spending. I was in a wedding where the bride gave us stuff for manis and pedis, practical things. I'm 99.9% sure they'd understand why she didnt shower them with gifts, shes the bride she should be the one showered=)

Answer 7

i got my girls about $30 worth of bath stuff and gave it to them at the rehearsal dinner.  i would have liked to do a spa day together, but they were all scattered though a few states, so that was my compromise.  whatever is in her budget to spend is what she should spend.  whatever she gets is enough.  as a bridesmaid i have gotten jewelry to wear the day of the wedding, but it's always been given the night before.

Answer 8

I got my girls a $20 necklace that I gave to them at the rehearsal dinner. You are already spending so much money, those girls are there to help you out... don't spend a fortune on them! I think the bath stuff is totally fine!

Answer 9

that should be fine it thats what her budget allows!
