Is this good for Bridal Party Gift?

[galvana]

I just found this and think it might work for my MOH and bridesmaids.
I have been thinking for months on what to get them as gifts.
They range in ages from 21 - 45.

Im thinking I''ll get the MOH one for my MOH and the bridesmaid one for my bridesmaids (two sisters and 1 close friend).

and Then i''ll but them their jewerly the day of the wedding, nothing too expensive, i found a nice earrings, pearl set for under $50.

what do you think? is this good enough?

I meant I''ll BUY them their jewelry for the wedding.

if you think the journals are silly and not a good idea tell me. I dont know what to get them and I wanted to get them each something really good.
I can spend about $75 per person.

I think it''s very sweet if you have the time to do them. That''s a LOT of writing! I can''t imagine finding the time to do something like that with all the other DIY stuff that is on my plate right now.

...HOWEVER...

Your question was more directed to whether it would be nice to receive, not whether to do it or not I believe. In that case, if you have the time and patience, I think that would be a really sweet, thoughtful and touching gift.

I agree that it sounds like a very thoughtful and personalized gift and I think its a great idea!

I would love receiving something like that from a friend. I think it would be very touching!

I think I might really get them. Them and their jewelry.
The wedding isn''t until July so I have a good 6 months to write them out.

YAY i was really stressing about what to get.

Hmmm... you might start with one and see what you think... they could be realllly cheesy, for example, or they could be wanting you to enter stuff that just isn''t your style. Or, you could write your sentiments in a card that you give with the day of jewelry, or when you ask your girls.

I guess my reaction is hesitant because 1) I mistrust keepsakes made specifically for the bridal industry, and 2) I suspect the journals would end up gathering dust, rather than being a treasured keepsake. Plus I''m not all that eloquent, so the idea of multiple journal entries (based on someone else''s prompting or thoughts about what matters) is kinda daunting.

If you''re hiring a professional photographer, how about supplementing the jewelry with a nice photo? I have no problems with any of the gifts I''ve recieved when I was in a wedding party, but I think I would have appreciated a nice photo of me with the bride more...

Thanks All! I showed my FI this last night and he thought it was totally cheesy and would just gather dust like you said VRBeauty.
ughhhhhh -
now im thinking maybe he''s right. So if i were to give a pic of me with one of the girls =- then i wouldn''t be able to give them the gifts until AFTER the wedding and the photos came in. is this ok? so i could buy them their jewelry and give it to them at the rehersal and then do the photo/nice frame later on?

What else have you all received as bridesmaid gift that you actually liked? I really want to give something good you know/
