We are trying to decide what gifts to give ours bridesmaids and groomsmen at the rehearsal dinner for our wedding. I see a lot of things I like, but I have 7 girls and I was thinking about getting them each something different to suit their personality, and same with the groomsmen. Is this acceptable, or is it common practice to always give them all the same thing?

No, you don't have to give everyone the same gift. I would say to decide on a price range to spend on each bridesmaid and groomsmen. Then based on that budget you can pick out personal gifts for each of them. I think it will be fine, as long as you keep all the gifts along the same price range...wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. If you feel you know all of them well enough to get them something to fit their personality then definitely go for it.

We are giving the groomsman the same because it is a flask and they all drink, but we are giving the girls different things cause some like jewelry, some don't, some are athletic, etc. So yes I think it is totally ok!

I think it is very sweet of you to want to pick out individual gifts for each person. I also think it would be hard - at least for me.All of the weddings I have been in, all the attendants got the same thing, but as far as I know there aren't any hard and fast rules.Best of luck to you!

You can do whatever you like. Usually most brides will try to give gifts that reflect the personality and individual taste of their bridesmaids.Another popular gift is jewelry.Two ways to customize the "same" gifts:-Birthstone rings-Custom made perfume made for each girl (this is what I did).Good luck!

it's OK to give them separate gifts...just make sure they are of equal quality and uniqueness so no one feels shafted.

I think its very thoughtful for you to pick out personal gifts for each of them.

You don't have to give them the same thing. I was in my brother's wedding and his wife gave us jewelry (necklace and earrings that went with the bride's maid dresses) 3 yrs. ago and I still wear them now.

I think either way it is acceptable. Unique gifts for each one would be nice since you know it will be something they can use and will definitely like. Not everyone likes the same things so they will appreciate the thought that went into them. I think it is more common to give them all the same thing, most of the time it's jewelry to go with their dresses. It's up to you what you want to give them.

No they do not have to have the same gifts. I think getting each one something they can actually use and something each one would like is best. That is what I am doing. None of the same gifts for me! I think when you actually put thought in your gift you give them, it means more. You really spent the time thinking about something they would like and really use. I would keep around the same price range though. Good Luck
