Hi ladies,

I hope everyones wedding plans are coming along well.
Anyhow I was just wondering what you ladies have brought for your bridesmaids, bestman, brides father ect.
I am struggling to find what to get my bridesmaids as they will all be over 16years old, but i dont want it to be expensive but some thin sentimental that means something to them and what they can keep.
I did think about a little personalised hankie with a poem inside but i am not so sure.

I would be very greatful if you lovely ladies could help me.

Thank you in advance

Abbie x x

For Bridesmaids I got funky necklaces that matched their dresses and little personalised nail files and facy little eyes shadows. When I was bridesmaid for my friend this year she got us jewellery boxes which is useful and something to keep.

I got a personalised ring box from this company on ebay and they do nice heart gift boxes that you can have personalised.
