I have 6-7 girls in my wedding as flower girls in my wedding ranging from 2 1/2 – 6 years old. I also have 2 ring bearers, one boy (6) and one girl (6) and two girls who are playing "host" at the reception that are 12 and 9. I’m looking for gift ideas that are equal and fair, but fitting. I don’t think I can get them all the same thing because of the interest range.

Are Toys R Us or Target gift cards a horrible idea??

Any ideas are appreciated
To answer some questions: We just have a lot of little girls both him and I know and love that all want to be flower girls and so we’re sending a "herd of cuteness" down the isle.

As the Die thing if in a church, we’re doing it outside in his grandparents backyard. Don’t worry – God’s invited and has already RSVP’d that he’ll be attending.

My daughter went to a shop that does monogramming.. She had them do baseball tees with ring bearer or flower girl on the front & their name on the back.. The girls were done in white with pink sleeves with pink writing & the boys were done in white with navy sleeves & writing…. The kids loved them.

To add something else… Here’s an idea that we’re doing for my youngest daughter’s wedding.. We’re setting up a table geared just for children… I have found some wedding pictures to color online & I’m printing them out to make coloring books. For the older kids, you can also find wedding word searches or make your own. It has been suggested to me to cover the table with a white sheet & let the kids write or color what they want. Then after the wedding, I can make a quilt of the kids drawings to give to the couple… This is a good way to occupy little ones while mom & dad enjoy the wedding..

I just got my brides maids their gifts, well half of it. It’s a monogrammed purse and I’m going to get a pearl necklace to go with it. But, I’m striking out on what to get the flower girls. I’ve got 2 and they are sisters. This is been a lot harder shopping for them than I thought it would be! Any ideas?

Depending on their age, how about a gift card to Toys R Us? The gift doesn’t have to be wedding related. They’ll be so excited to go to the store and pick something out.

III. Here Take this Lovely Flower

Here take this lovely flower
Thy mother sent to thee,
Cull’d from her lovely bower
Of sweet simplicity.

O place it near thy bosom
And keep it pure and bright,
For in such lovely flowers
The angels take delight.

Do you have any great ideas for flower girl and ring bearer gifts? The flower girl is 7 and the ring bearer is 8…I’d like to get them something meaningful. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I am getting my flower girl a bracelet matching the bridesmaids and having them all engraved, that way not only will it be meaningful but she can feel like one of the big girls, which is always important to little kids. I am also going to get her a little jewelry box and some pretend make up and some coloring books and stuff to keep her entertained while letting her join in with us if she likes. Same concept for the ring bearer. My man is getting them each an engraved pocket watch along with some stuff to keep the ring bearer entertained. They are both invited to the rehearsal dinner and are getting their own invitations separate from their parents. We are also getting them each a disposable camera. Good Luck.

And if so , what would be an appropriate gift?

No, I don’t think that is necessary.

Presents to flower girl and ring bearer are appropriate. If you want to do something for their parents, then write them a nice thank you note for allowing their child to participate.

She says it’s stopped now but I know they used to call and exchange emails behind my back. Cards and emails I found from him always addressed her as my angel, my love etc. She gets VERY defensive when I try to talk about it, goes into denial and calls me paranoid. I know of at least one expensive gift within the last three months that she never mentioned nor is aware I saw (along with the card)

Unless he is an outright stalker, you have every right to be mad at your wife, because she isn’t outright TELLING him to stop it.

How much longer are you going to put up with this crap? She hides it from you, lies about it, etc…

I find it hard to believe he is an EX lover, and not a CURRENT one.
