Bridesmaids' Gifts

Since some of my bridesmaids know about this website and visit now and then, I am only going to show those gifts that I've already given them.

I gave them these memo pads when I asked them to be my bridesmaid/MOH.
I gave them tank tops for the day of at my bridal shower. I ordered the iron-on transfers from an etsy seller and gave my bridesmaids fuschia tanks and my MOH an orange one.

Earrings

I gave each bridesmaid a pair of earring for the day of that matched the ones I was wearing, only smaller. For my sister, my MOH, her earrings were slightly larger than the bridesmaids, but slightly smaller than mine.

Day At The Beach Bag

I had been picking up random gifts for my bridesmaids for almost a year, and it wasn't until I started to put them together, that I realized that I had unwittingly created the perfect bag for a day at the beach. No pictures, but here's a list of what I gave each girl:

*Beach bag in a fuschia, orange and white design*
*Beach towel with fushia, white and orange stripes*
*Silver flip flops*
*Black sunglasses with fuschia rhinestones*
*Fuschia compact mirror with fushia sequins*
*Pedicure kit*
*Fuschia water bottle koozie with black/white ribbon and personalized with their names*
*Purse-shaped gift card holders with gift cards to Barnes & Noble (for light beach reading) and Starbucks (for iced lattes)*

I got them engraved hankies and will include this poem in the gift box.

You are so very young, but the years will pass by and you'll too be a bride, in the blink of an eye.

While you may not remember, the day that I married, the part that you played, or the flowers you carried.

There will be a day, that will burn bright like an ember. The day you will wed, you will always remember.

So here is a hankie, for the day you will say..."I need 'something old' for my wedding day".

I found these bracelets on etsy and LOVE them. If I order them, I'll probably do them in fuschia and orange. I also want to get them engraved hankies, along with this poem.

Picked up these earrings for my flowergirls. Kohl's was having a fantastic sale....regularly $25 and I paid $6.25! The petals are clear crystals, with fushcia crystals inside, in sterling silver.

I saw these cute little piggy banks in Old Navy and couldn't resist buying them for my sisters.  I'll decorate them with their names and such.

I bought these flowergirl t-shirts from Cafepress. I was planning on giving them to my sisters at my bridal shower, but they weren't able to make it.

Groomsmen Gifts

Craig decided he wants give his guys a beer basket.  We found galvanized tubs in Old Navy and will fill them with bottles of beer from some microbreweries, a bottle opener and some pilsner glasses.  For his brother, his best man, he's including a bottle of Crown Royal. It's an inside joke between them (basically, his brother gave him a bottle of liquor for his 21st bithday and drank the whole thing himself, so Craig 'returned the favor' by getting his brother a bottle of Crown Royal for his college graduation and proceeded to drink the whole thing himself - and that's the night he met me).

Readers' Gifts

We are having 4 readers do two readings.  One set of readers are my cousin Greg and my father's wife's daughter, Melissa. The other set of readers are our closest friends in NC, who got married last year.  We are giving them some monogrammed pilsner glasses. I found these adorable flip flop wire mesh baskets at The Christmas Tree Stores to put them in.
