I got all the bridesmaids a nice necklace / earring set; this also doubles as jewelery for the wedding so everyone will be matching.
My finance is getting the guys engraved beer mugs.
I'm getting the flower girls little jewelery of their own and I haven't quite decided on the ring bearers gift.
I'm not getting the readers anything, just a thank you.

I bought all of my girls these really neet picture frame albums that I am having engraved.
For my Maid of Honor, I also bought her a small jewelry box (she's a jewelry fanatic) and I'm buying her first set of pearls so she can wear them to the wedding!
I also bought all of the attendants their own personalized wine glasses for the reception.
I have tried to let my fiance take care of the groomsmen. It is suprising then that they still don't have gifts picked out? Nope. Typical guy LoL.
Also, I bought my nieces and nephew shirts that say Flower Girl, Ring Bearer, and Junior Bridesmaid. Each has their title along with their name, and then "Aunt Jenn and Ernie's Wedding, June 14, 2008" I thought they were cute!
I bought my mom and dad a picture frame that has a poem about how I will never stop being their daughter and I bought them and my granma personalized hankies.

| Thats a great idea to pay for their dresses! I'm sure they really appreciate it, dresses are a lot of money! I wish I could do that, but I don't think I could afford it. My sister-in-law bought everyone in her party purses, but she made the purse look like the personality of each girl. It really looked like she took time to pick it out. I want to do something individual like that, but I'm not sure what yet.

| I did things a little differently than the traditional gifts. Most of the people in my entourage flew in from out of town, and the local ones took time out of their lives to help me with the wedding, so my husband and I decided to pay for their attire instead of giving them actual gifts. It's not enough to cover for their airfare and lodging of course, but at least they didn't need to worry about buying the dress or renting the suit. For the bridesmaids, I paid for their dresses, but they were responsible for any alterations and accessories (purse, hair, makeup, shoes). The guys, we rented full tuxes including shoes and socks, so they were ok. And all of them enjoyed the food at the rehearsal dinner and reception! Hope this helps.

| I think it is nice to get your Entourage something personal that is all about them. I heard one girl say that she was going to pick out something for each of her attendants as if it was their birthday. That sounds great!

My fiance's neice is the flowergirl (she's 7) and she really wants a 'flowergirl' shirt to show off to everyone what her role is.
We also have 2 ring bearers (both 3) and will be giving their parents a check with some money for their college fund and then just something small to play with at that moment of the gift giving time.
Readers we are just giving a small giftcard and I am making personalized wedding baskets for each one of our bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Guys: brewers t-shirt, peanuts, stadium sauce, favorite beer, mug, giftcard. (The bachelor party is a Brewer-game and all the guys love the brewers).
Girls: Piece of pottery I made and painted with some gourmet food/drink and cosmetic bag with nice spa and body stuff. (i.e. Pasta bowl, serving ware, sauce and pasta).
Hope this helps!

Hi! This will be my second wedding. At the first one, I didn't have a flower girl, but I gave my ringbearer a Rugrats DVD and another DVD. The traditional thing is to give something fancy, like an engraved piggy bank or something for when they're older, but I knew he would much prefer something he could enjoy right away.
He's 16 now and never wonders why he didn't get a silver mug. 
My wedding party was very small and so it was easy to budget these gifts in. If you have a large wedding party, I would say budget less money per attendant and give something small but that matches their personalities.

I heard that it’s customary to get those involved in your wedding Party a gift of thanks… this includes flower girls and ring bearers.
Is anyone doing this for their entourage? Will you include the little ones and readers? If so, what type of Thank You gift are you getting, or plan on getting?
HELP!
