Idea 1 - Traditional - I've seen some very pretty necklace / earring sets, and I've thought about getting them for the 4 girls. They'd all be slightly different, but follow the same theme (probably all bought from the same place). I'm pretty sure all of the girls have pierced ears - I don't, but that's another story. However, this is a very common present, and most of these girls have been in weddings before. I'm not sure if they'd ever even wear the jewelry again after my wedding.
Idea 2 - Useful - I was thinking of getting each girl a pocket-size multi-tool, like a Leatherman Micra or Squirt. I think this is neat, because it's non-traditional, much like the girls who I'll have around me on my wedding day. I could get them in several different colors, and I'm fairly sure all of the girls would use it.
So what do you think? Traditional or useful?
vote...
woo.
The bridesmaids gifts
For those enquiring minds (and for whoever actually reads this), Anitra did go with the Leathermans. I would have worn the jewelry again, had she gone with that, but I have used my leatherman many, MANY times!
Oddly, I have another best friend who is getting married at the end of the month. She is having a medieval themed wedding, and just told me she got her girls daggers!! I'm psyched!
Wow... who woulda thought I'd be getting sharp pointy things at both weddings?? ;-)
