Bridesmaids And Groomsmans Gifts
My bridesmaids and my fiance`s groomsman are all on a tight budget and we are paying for all of the bridesmaids dress`s and the groomsman`s tuxedos. DO we still have to buy gifts for them even though we payed for their wedding attire?

I dont think it`s necessary to buy them more. They should appreciate FULLY what you`re already doing for them and if they`re good enough friends and have ANY common curtiousy, they would not expect more! Possibly just write a nice card for each of them.

This wouldn`t work if you absolutely have to have the guys in tuxes and the girls in formal dresses, and if you`ve already paid for/rented everything, but, if you`d be okay with the guys just wearing nice suits they already own, and buying the girls nice (not formal) dresses at Ross or TJ Max, you could use the money you would have spent on formal dresses and tuxes to buy them cool gifts. That`s what my fiance and I are doing, just having the guys in suits and taking the girls shopping for whatever dresses they want, within reason :), in fall colors. Just a thought.
