Bridesmaids and Maid of Honor
-
Most brides give their bridesmaids all the same gift. Jewelry is often given to bridesmaids, but tailor the jewelry to the bridesmaid by incorporating colors or things she likes. Give each bridesmaid a necklace with a charm of something she likes (for example: martini glass, seashell, dog, etc.). You can also personalize items with the bridesmaid's name or initials. The maid of honor is usually given the same gift as the bridesmaids in addition to something a little more special and meaningful, such as a CD of her favorite songs or a photograph of her and the bride.

Groomsmen and Best Man
-
Personalized items are also a good idea for the men. Some examples of personalized items are a cooler with the man's name and favorite sports team's logo embroidered, monogrammed flasks or beer glasses or even a monogrammed money clip. You should also keep in mind any other interests the groomsman might have. If he likes golf, give personalized golf balls, bags or towels. Best men do not typically get a different gift from the groomsmen, but they can if you want. It can be something as small as a shirt that simply says "Best Man."

Flower Girl and Ring Bearer

Personalized toys like teddy bears, dolls or piggy banks are also fun and unique ideas. (See link in Resources for more information.)
Parents of the Bride and Groom
-
Both sets of parents should be given the same gift, but keep in mind their personal preferences. Gifts for the mothers include personalized mugs, picture frames and jewelry. Gifts for the fathers might be something as inexpensive as a hat stating "Father of the Bride/Groom" or as pricey as a personalized watch. (See link in Resources for more suggestions.)
