I had post-it notes made for all my girls. They all had cute graphics and a funny phrase like, “You should try not talking… Ever” or “Yeah, I’m kind of not listening”. They loved them, and have asked me how to order more.

I originally was looking for organic robes but they were sooo expensive so I finally decided and bought what I call my “SWAG” bag. I got them items from all my favorite stores. JCrew beach bags, Potterybarn long robes with monogram, Pottery barn monogram pewter hooks for the robes, Anthropologie Stone carved coasters, candles and notebooks, face bloating books, CO Bigelow Lipgloss & flip flops. I am also surprising them with Monogram bouquet jewelry the day of! I’m super excited to give these to them! I hope they like it!

I have figured out the rest yet, but I got each of the bridesmaids a personalized bowl (to hold jewlery or something in) from etsy. They all came out great and each one was individualized for each bridesmaid. They were about 10-12 each depending on the design i used. I think I will find jewelry to put in there and maybe some toiletries, I can not wait to give them out!

This is the etsy shop I ordered them from:

Aw, sorry to be a tease guys, it looks like Urban Outfitters isn’t selling the photo album anymore. I bought mine in store, so maybe you’ll have some luck in person? I even checked Ebay, but no such luck. Humph.

I had them printed through Vista Print. There was a sale going on, but their prices are really great all the time. Service was quick, and they came out really cute.

I don’t have any BMs, but I bought all the Moms and my sister really really adorable handkerchiefs folded like little dresses on hangers.

I actually got mine at a store, and they aren’t this wedding kind but the floral ones. I love them! $11 apiece, not bad.

I am in the mist of sewing each girl (erm, and myself!) a clutch that looks like the link above. All will have a different, funky fabric inside and out.

Inside they are getting a necklace and, after reading this post, possibly a notepad!

I also got mine Target bags (like the ones above) told hold: customized Vistaprint notepads, Target flip flops that I’m going to super-glue rhinestones to, earrings that I had custom made at this awesome little jewelry store on the North Shore of Oahu called “Jungle Gems, Footpetals, and an assortment of products from this etsy seller, who was awesome and helped me customize some stuff based on my price range:

I also got all five BMs, both moms and both readers (and myself!) this etsy seller bracelet:

All in all, it came to around $100 for each BM, so I didn’t think that was too bad. I’ve been picking stuff up over the last six months, which helps out the credit card!

I keep buying new stuff for my BM’s… haha. What I ended up with is personalize tote bag from the threelulu’s website, necklace and earrings from sparklesforever.com, monogrammed notecards, monogrammed compact mirrors, cute tissues, flip flops for dancing in (the latest addition), and the coolest crystal nail files from http://www.95andsunny.com/ (of course I got myself the bride one!!) Then there are the personalized “thank you for being my..bm/moh” cards. It’s really been a lot of fun finding gifts for them!

I am buying bags filled with my favorite things. I even decided to contact the companies I had chosen to let them know what i was doing. Many of them gave me coupons or keychain, samples etc.

My FMIL is an expert quilter. She has agreed to help me sew a lap quilt for each of my bridesmaids. I am so excited! They are going to love them. I have also planned on getting them personalized bags filled with essentials for the day including their jewelry.
