What kind of gifts do you suggest for my maid of honor and my bridesmaids? Something simple or extreme?

 You can give all the attendants the same gift, like cologne or jewelry (necklace, bracelet or earrings) that they can wear with their bridesmaids' dresses. Or, you can give them something that has special meaning to each one (pictures, special jewelry, art objects, crystal, desk accessories, bud vases, silver-plated, glass or leather picture frames, hair accessories, music boxes, business card holder, etc.) Some other ideas are gift certificates, tickets to a concert, play, comedy club or sporting event, membership to a club, health spa, certificates for a massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, etc. Your maid of honor usually receives something of a little more value than the other bridesmaids' gifts. Your budget may help determine how extreme your gifts become. These gifts are simply meant as a token of thanks and memento and do not need to be elaborate or expensive if you do not have a large amount of money to spend.
