hi thanks yes they are cute, i will keep them in mind, another thing i hd seen was a jewellery box but OH said she was too young and get her something to play with whereas i was thinking something to keep ?
black saturn, im with you........do we have to buy these gifts?! we have paid for dresses and suits..does that make a difrence?!

i dont think the attendants will expect something but its a nice gesture to thank them for their part played on the day ?

what we did for the littlies gifts, was something nice to keep and something small to play with aswell on the day

You don't have to buy for anyone if you don't want to :rolleyes:
We paid for our own wedding, so didn't bother buying the parents anything. I didn't have ushers, and the paige boys were my sons. We just bought a necklace for the young bridesmaid which I gave her when we were getting dressed. The best man got a hip flask during the speechs, and I gave the 3 children a chocolate egg as it was Easter weekend.
The mothers did take home a set of glass candlesticks that I'd used as table decorations though, but they were bought specifically for the tables rather than as gifts.Here I go again on my own....0 -
when my dd got married she bought her sister ( a bridesmaid) a skiing lesson. She loved it.Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:
