What did you get your leading ladies to say thank you for all their help with planning the wedding and for their help on the day??

I'm stuck for ideas!

[Lunaticity]

My ladies haven't helped me with crap, but I'm getting them crystal brooches, to wear at the wedding and to keep. Plus buying their boots, jackets and hair accessories etc and paying for their hair/makeup.

My girls haven't done a thing....They're not getting a gift but I have paid for dresses and accessories as well as hair and make up....

You could get them gift vouchers or maybe a little bracelet?

Me personally when I gift things I always do gift certificates...not really a personal gift but at least they can get what they like

Ive made gift bags for mine.
Inside is,

Singlet with bridesmaid, matron of honor in diamontes on it.

Personalized champagne glass

Wedding survival kit (fun things in little net bags)

Their jewelry

Clutch purses for them

hmm cant think what else..but im sure there is more in there

I'm gonna wait and see how helpful my BMs are before getting a gift!. But I thought I might put a gift bag together too...like one of those personalised coathangers, bathrobe etc (wedding related stuff really)

I don't have any bridesmaids but I quite like the idea of the gift bag.

I would put in it:
Robe/Singlet/T-shirt - personalised with name and role on the day
Mini bottle of wine/champers
Personalised wine/champers glass - knowing me it would be a plastic $2 jobby from the cheap shop though
Probably a gift card of some sort - massage/movies/westfield - I would go with what they would like individually rather than all the same
SLIPPERS - coz that is just me and something they would all know why it was in there

My BM's and MOH were great. Willing to help out whenever they could

I bought them jewellery to wear on the day and keep (pearl necklaces and ear rings) and funky clutches.

When I have been BM for others I have been given personalised champers glass and the other time the Bride got the three of us individual things that reflected our personalities. I got an awesome necklace and a funky camera case.

I think you can go with whatever you like!!

I bought my girls a clutch bag each that they could keep their bits and pieces in for the day, their shoes (they paid for the dresses) and their jewelry which were pretty necklaces. I also got them personalised gifts depending on what each of them was into, nothing big or expensive ie. one of my bridesmaids personalised gift was a cute piggy bank that says something funny about saving for shoes, because she is an absolute shopaholic when it comes to shoes.

I got mine a clutch, jewellery, shoes and a hair fascinator.

I splashed out on my bridesmaids but they are my besties. I got them two pairs of shoes (ceremony and reception), jewellery and paid for their hair.

I then made them gift packs that I gave to them a week before the wedding, that they were extremely surprised by. They were small make up bags in seperate packs and colour co-ordinated (yellow for MOH, orange for BM1, pink for BM2), with Lindt chocolates, pocket mirrors with Swarovski crystals hand glued onto them in seperate patterns, body spray, body lotion... hmmm, other stuff, it's been awhile!
