My sister's colors were purple and yellow.  She gave us a yellow tote bags with our names stitched in purple.  She stuffed it with purple and yellow things including purple flip-flops, photo albums, little fans, all sorts of cute things.  She also gave a jewelry set of (fake) pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings that we all wore in the wedding.

In one of my earliest posts on my weddingbycolor page and I posted what I might give my bridesmaids.  Go check it out!

I'm giving my girls bridesmaid tank tops as early presents and I'm going to give them personalized pink flasks before the ceremony as a silly gift.

i just left a post earlier a/b giving my guy's something w/ their favorite sports teams. it's really cool if you can find their favorite player that autographed something for cheap on ebay. but i haven't decided completely on what all i want to get my girls or what else to buy the boys.

My aunt's sister-in-law makes jewellery so I'm going to get all my girls matching bracelt, earing & necklace sets to match their dresses.

Also I think the day before the wedding I will be paying for a spa day for me and the girls for mani/pedi's!

their jewelry to wear for the wedding.  I want to buy them something but It's too expensive and not in my budget and they all know.    I really wanted to get together and do a day at the spa but that too is expensive but not that bad but it's not in my budget.

I also have 8 bridesmaids, and knew I wanted to get them something nice, though since we're paying for the whole wedding ourselves, price was definitely a determiner. I ended up going to this wholesale warehouse store, which primarily sells all types of glassware and candles. they have this section of the warehouse (in the back) where they keep clearance stuff, and I found star shaped gold basket sets (perfect, since I have a star theme) with all types of blue candles, holders and plates, and room frangrance already gift-wrapped in clear cellophane. There were 9 left (was lucky!) and were on sale for $5 each!! it was an amazing deal...and all I did was get navy gift bags and some tissue paper...all in all, I think the whole thing cost me $50. is there a wholesale place near you?? I'd check there...you never know...

I just decided last night that I would make them personsonalized photo albums to fit thier personality.  I can get the photo albums at Walmart and they have the little characters that you can stick on the cover and all the beads and stuff you can add on to make it personal from you.  I will also give them a gift with their names on it like a tote bag.

I was able to pick up a Pearl necklace for my sell and pretty jewelled necklaces for my girls for under $200. I plan on going back and trying to find them matching bracklets. I figured every girl loves Jewelery. and these are one of a kind peices. I also found a vintage birdcage vail there for $20!!!! that was a good day!
