Bridesmaid gifts

Paying for their hair and earrings for your wedding is not a gift to them, it's a prop for your own photos. Did they host your bridal shower? If so, that's a hostess gift, not a bridesmaid gift. Thank you gifts for your bridal party are given at the rehearsal or the day of the wedding.

I think maybe another little thing would be nice

I think that's fine! Whatever your budget will allow. I always think a letter or thank you card is also nice to include. I've been in two weddings, both times I paid for my own HAMU. The first one I was gifted a blingy watch and the second I was gifted a robe. That's it. I would have preferred they pay for HAMU over the gifts, but regardless I was happy to be apart of the wedding. I gifted a getting ready outfit, HAMU, tote, tumbler, socks, and a letter to each girl (not including favors for the bachelorette party or proposal gifts).

What do you mean guilt tripped? Was it something you wanted?

If you have required hair then you pay. You can also buy them favorite snacks and drink. Also you give them a gift for hosting bridal shower.

View Quoted Comment Nope. I told them in the beginning that they can have there hair anyway they want.

View Quoted Comment I wasn’t going to buy them earrings or their hair.
When we were all out getting the dresses 2 of them grabbed the exact same earrings. I felt bad them buying their dresses so I told them that I will buy them the earrings (4 brides maids) and as for the hair, 2 of them were going to have a friend do their hair until the girl did a trial and they hated it and they keep telling me about how they are freaking out about not knowing what to do with there hair and just a lot of hints.

I think that is fine. Another additional is to just frame a picture of you and each one of them and have a little heartfelt note. I always consider earrings a gift because they can be worn again. That's like saying a food favor isn't a gift because it gets eaten and is gone then. Earrings are not a one time thing. I will have a bracelet and earring set for each of them, maybe a nice fall candle or lotion from B&BW and I want to do the framed picture/note thing. My friend did this for us and she used the pictures we took at the bridal shower!

I personally think your gifts sound fine!

I think your gifts sound amazing! I’m planning on buying my bridesmaids their dresses but I’m having trouble thinking of actual gifts. Candles and totes sound perfect!

I think it’s plenty. I’ve been a MOH twice and had my hair paid for and received a pair of pearl earrings and in the other they put $100 towards the dress, a tote and robe.

For my girls, I’ve bought their earrings, am paying for their hair, and am looking at getting them a jewelry dish with their initial and a robe. We all have to travel for my wedding, so my gift needs to be small to take back and I want something they will use again.

I don't like the phrase guilt tripped you essentially elected to pay for their hair. I think your gifts are fine I would do a personalize card, or small gift card to the favorite lunch spot or coffee spot in you can afford it.
