im really struggling with my bridesmaid gifts, we will be in nyc so it needs to be something easy to carry in our handluggage. any ideas anyone?

Spent the day writing out my invites!

For something small either jewellery or compact mirrors like me. I'm guessing photos / frames will be too big. There is lots of small engraved gifts you can get... From silver guitar pics to cigar cutters, or key rings and bottle openers. (although I'm not entirely sure they would let u take a cigar cutter on the plane!!)

I'm getting my BMs jewellery and maybe something like an emergency bag for the day or something similar.

Hi everyone, I brought my first wedding item for 2012. A really nice silver & white Just Married garland from the Hoobycraft sale. Bargain at £6 and I think it will lovely on the front of the cake table

Does anyone have any alternative gift items for mother of the bride and mother in law other than flowers? Although flowers are tradition are easy really not practical my mum lives in spain so staying at ours & mother in law has a long drive home the day after the wedding.

I wa wondering what to get them as well... Our families could have flowers, but I don't think they would be particularly special, so want to see what comes up!!

Sorry I can't help!

That great on the bargin hunting!

I don't think either of the mum's would appreciate a journal or keepsake box, maybe a nice silver photo frame
