Hi,

For my parents i'm thinking of geeting them one of the wedding pics, but a big one nicely framed. My bridesmaid, i'm getting her a Swarovski necklace to ware on the day so that will be her gift. I've show her them & she loves them so happy with that. Bestman well H2B has not decide who to ask yet so will have to think of that one later......

Bridesmaid - jewellery for the day (glitch on evans site £5.00 instead off £30.00)
Oh mum and my step mum - molton & brown shower gel and £10.00 gift card (worth £31.00 but got it when it was a grabbit for £10.00)
BM and usher - Jack daniels hip flask with whiskey in (whiskey we have kept for such an occassion and hip flasks couple of pound off ebay)
Groom - making him a basket for wedding morning (idea I pinched fromsomeone on here, will try and find the link) need something to give at the table though

Think thats all, I am toying with the idea of a small hamper for OH mum and stepmum as got some lovely jams, choccies, tea and coffee in another glitch from Whittards. Do you see a theme emerging here lol xx

Bags, purses, lavender sachets off the top of my head but I finished them a while ago so I forget!

We've got wine glasses for the bridesmaids, Mums & OH's Dad. They were from eBay and are handpainted with pictures of them on, plus their names and a thank you message. They're fab as they're personalised with hair colour/style and even the dresses!! They were around £8 each which I think is quite cheap & they're lovely to keep!

For the best men, OH didn't want the glasses, so he got a Welsh and an English rugby shirt and printed "Best Man" on the back. Expensive present!! But he's the generous one of the relationship...!

3 of his family are playing music during the ceremony, so I've ordered them pretty prints of birds printed onto sheet music from Etsy. I'm going to frame these. And his aunty and uncle are arranging the cake, so I've ordered them a personalised framed print from Folksy, which is lovely! It is a "John and Sarah love..." one and I got to chose 11 things about them to print

I can't wait to give them their gifts!

Birthdays has best man cufflinks in lovely black box for 50p:)

I've so far got the groom frog prince cufflinks-one is a frog and the other a crown but they were sadly not cheap at all but he's worthy of them. My bridesmaid is my daughter so i'm making her a Hello Kitty hamper (courtesy mainly of Claire's Accessories when they do their 5 items for a fiver in the sales) and haven't thought of anyone else yet.

I'd like to do theatre vouchers for the in-laws but they are pricey but as I have a while yet, spread out then the cost isn't much and again, they are worth it. Best man and ushers I am stuck on. The ushers are 25, 11 and 5. Ugh.
