Is this bad and cheap for bridesmaid gifts
So l am already covering the cost of the dress for my girls, they are
getting their own accessories since l do not really care what they choose,
actually think it will look better if everyone has different jewelry.l had
bought 200 wooden roses on ebay the other day, thinking l could use them
as guest favors put one of each place setting.They are going to come in a
bunch of different colors because l did not specify what colors l wanted
until after she had already shipped them and there are no roses in my wedding (we are using orchids and tropical flowers) so l am thinking these might not be the best idea.Now l am thinking l could put them in some nice vases and give them to my bridesmaids as gifts for them.Is that just cheap of me?It is not like they would know l bought them for something else but it feels like re-gifting. l am just thinking that multi colored roses at the places settings are going to look bad, the centerpieces and orchids and bird of paradise.l might save a few to give to some of the mothers since my wedding is the day before mother is day but l only have three bridesmaids so l could give them nice sized bunches of them.
Sort ur roses out so they are less random looking, like, take
the red & orange roses & alternate them at one table, & the lavender &
pink roses (just for example) & alternate them at another table. When you
arrange them that way I think they will look nice. Not everything at a
wedding should be matchy-matchy, just coordinated. And this is a nice
favor. You could also coordinate them more by tying a ribbon in ur wedding
colors around the stem, wrapping them in tinted cello, or printing up some nice custom favor tags. But don't give them to ur bridesmaids.
I think it is tacky.
I wouldn't--not b/c it will look cheap of you but just b/c it
is not really a ''thank you gift''. I would put the favors on a separate
table near the exit. Then you won't have to worry about them clashing
with the centerpiece flowers.
But for the bridesmaids I'd get them something that says Thank you.
Either a cd, a framed picture of the two of you, something you know they really like. I've gotten jewelry most of the time but it doesn't have to be something to wear in the wedding--it could be just something you think suits them. Or something unique to each of them. For example, necklaces but get each a pendant that really suits them. I know the monogrammed bags filled with stuff are overdone but personally I love them. I've never gotten one & I am thinking about suggesting it for my sisters wedding. Monogrammed beach totes are sold many places & you can get a couple little things. As she is getting married on a beach, sunscreen & beach towel would be great. A nice vase with some real flowers (you can even get that at Walmart for like $30 each). If money is an issue, make them a cd. That is super cheap but takes time--especially picking some incredible songs for them to put on their i-pod. I don't think the wooden roses are like regifting but since you have 3 bridesmaids, I know if I got a bunch of like 30 wooden roses I'd be like..great. Let is put this in the yard sale pile. What do you do with that? A single one from a wedding favor is cute & you can display it on a shelf but including the 2 mothers (200/6) that is still 40 per person. That is a lot of wooden items that may not even go with their style & don't really serve any purpose.
i don't think it will be cheap of you
I think it would be fine. I think you should go ahead and give
the wooden roses as favors it will be fine. As for a gift for your
bridesmaids, you have already gotten it.you bought their gowns for them
which is a huge favor, not many brides do that! I am sure they are
grateful and don't expect anything else.
