| I was planning on getting my bridesmaids and candlelighters a necklace from Claires that they can wear with their dress. I need ideas for the groomsmen, flowergirls, and my parents. Any ideas for inexpensive gifts. Not that they don't deserve more, I just can't affort it after all the other wedding expenses. I also have a question about the ceremony. We are giving roses during the ceremony to our mothers. I have a step mother as well. I don't want to not give her one and hurt her feelings but if I do give her one I'm afraid it may hurt my mother since she is the one that's always been there. What is you opinion. Thank you so much! |

| we gave our groomsmen movie tickets, they were on the young side and they would not want engraved items.i would give the flower girl a gift card to a "young" store, maybe a toy store so she can pick out her own gift.Willows makes very pretty figurines for all occasions and the smaller ones are not that much, maybe you can find one to give your stepmother. |

| Grromsmen: Engraved mugs or flasks is a cool idea. It's something masculine, cheap and memorable. Flowergirls: A pretty doll, barbie doll. Any kind of toy is great. Kids like that more than anything.Step Mom Issue: Has she been in your life for a while? If so, you need to give her a rose too. Tell your mom what you are planning and tell her you don't want to hurt her feelings. She is the mother of the bride so her role is super important. The step mom has no role and will be completely left out if she is not given at least one flower. It is just a flower. |

| It is easy for the groomsmen, just buy them drinks. Flowergirls are even easier. I assume that they are young girls. You can give them cute bags. I don't think your parents expect you to give them anything. But you can dedicate a poem or a song for them during the reception. For the rose, talk to your mother about it and ask for her opinion. Express your concern to her. If she can understand your situation she won't be hurt when you give your step mother a rose too. |

| We gave flowers to all of the mothers, step-mothers, and grandmothers at our wedding (all 8 of them lol!) that way no one was offended. We did not give gifts to our parents and we didn't have flower girls but for our groomsmen my husband picked out a unique gift for each groomsmen based on their interests. Perhaps your future hubby might have some ideas. If not, cuff links, socks, gift cards, and CDs might be practical gifts. For flower girls I would recommend a necklace or bracelet and maybe some matching nail polish should result in smiles. You might be able to find some synthetic jewelery on the internet that would look fancy for a reasonable price. |

I know like as far as if you wanted something personalized such as flask for a groomsmen they do free engraving on those kind of things. |

| We gave our groomsmen Chicago Bears t-shirts and Bears coaster sets. The flowergirl got a little purse with her initial on it. My mom and mother in law, I gave them little presents instead of flowers. I gave them both framed pressed flowers. If you are giving roses, colors of roses have meaning. Give your mom one that is red (love) and your step mother yellow (friendship). Other meanings: pink - gratitude and appreciation; light pink - admiration; peach - gratitude; white - reverence, humility, purity. |
