gifts for attendants how much

can i ask u ladies how much u think is a reasonable amount too spend on a gift i thought bout getting cufflinks for the men but h2b wants too get cufflinks a personalized lighter and whiskey bottle thingy i think this is too much as cufflinks are not cheap are they???

We have personally spent about £10 each on the 3 little bridesmaids, about £10 each on the 2 Ushers, and will be spending about £20-£30 each on the MOH and the Best Man. I think this is plenty. People are part of the day because they love you and want to be there to help you, not because they expect an expensive gift. Don't get me wrong, if budget would allow I'd happily spend more on each of them, but we can't afford it. x

We will be spending about £30 per person I think. No idea if this is average though.

I think we spent about £15 each on my MOH, the best man, my bridesmaid, my flower girl and page boy. The mums got a huge bunch of flowers each oh and my brother got a huge bottle of gin as he gave us our platinum wedding rings (its handy having a jeweller for a brother )

It all depends how much money you have really but I agree with Charlie I don't think people expect expensive gifts or anything really (if they do they don't deserve one! lol) Just a little sign of your appreciation is fine I think

Just thought I'd add, our mums are also getting a huge bouquet of flowers each, and our pageboys are getting NOTHING, because they're our sons and they get enough out of us already!

i second that

I think ours works out about £20.00 per person, bought some lovely cufflinks and socks for the men off good old ebay and the bridesmaids have had their jewellery (they will be keeping their dresses as well) mums are getting a rose bush each.

We may get them a bottle of wine each with a specially printed labels as there is a very reasonable vineyards not far from home!

A rose bush for the mums is a lovely idea, I wish I had done that
