Default Do I need to give gifts?

To my BM???? I have already bought their dresses, shoes, etc. and will be paying for the wedding day mani/pedis. Do I need to give them an additional gift or is what I've done enough?

TIA

hell no!

You've already gone above and beyond with their dress and shoes, and that should be gift enough. Maybe you could write each of a letter just letting them know how special they are to you. Usually "gifts" are done at the rehearsal dinner so that me a nice little something for just that moment.

I totally agree with Heather what you have done is alot already. Maybe you could make them or buy them something small to let them know that you do appreciate them and are happy they are able to be a part of your special day.

Like Heather said, Hell no! Those girls are truly blessed to have their dresses and everything paid for by you. I would get them all a card but other then that, you've spent quite a bit on them already. I think they'd understand.

your not being rude you are being real. you have already paid for their gowns and shoes, and mani/pedi's that is plenty. maybe a nice picture of you and each one of them individually in an inexpensive frame if you feel obligated to do something.

What you are paying for IS their gift. I would write each of them a nice letter, outline how much each of them mean to you.
