What are you guys giving as presents to the main bridal party. Need to buy for: mum, mum in law (2 main financial contributers other than us), father in law, maid of honour, 1 bridesmaid, son, stepson and best man. Was hoping to keep to under £200, less if possible. Thanks.

I gave "bookfolds" to my mum, dad, maid of honour, best man. A keepsake that was not expensive but looked amazing and different for difficult to buy for people,

I gave my adult bridesmaids memories lockets... My daughter a moomin teddy (she is obsessed with soft toys)... My son a personalised bullet (don't ask)... I think it was tankards for the ushers...and it was a rose bush in a box for the parents... Sounds naff but if you look on notonthehighstreet they do some lovely things x

We got personalised Vases for mums and engraved whisky glasses for men. Bridesmaids I got a robe and necklace. Nothing much just a couple little gifts. They aren't expecting a fortune x

Nothing! a thank you speech to everyone who came should be enough. No need to spend more for no reason. Save your money and spend it on something worth while.

We got personalised whiskey glasses and coasters for the ushers, dads etc with mini bottles of alcohol. Mums we've got personalised candle holders with bracelets. Bridesmaids I've done goody bags with a few different keepsake items in and some fun items.
We didn't want to buy fresh flowers and again was on a budget.
Getting Personal or Buy A Gift are good!

personalised flower vases (and flowers) for the mums, necklaces for the day for MOH and BM's, personalised glass for the BM and a voucher for the usher (a teenager). We also got cufflinks and socks for the all the men including both Dad's. And I brought my dad a pocket watch which I had inscribed. Other than the necklaces, all well within £200.

We got them all personalised glasses. They were £16 something from artsy. Great lady. Fab communication. Sent her pics of what we were wearing on the day (or generic outfits) and she painted them on. Sent pics for approval too before sending them in very well packaged boxes.

We've paid for Dresses Suits, jewellery & Flowers, hair & make up so that's going to be their thank you gifts.. All this wedding planning is so expensive, don't see the point in spending more than we have too...
