Flower Girl Gifts?

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

Flower Girl Gifts?
My daughter went to a shop that does monogramming.. She had them do baseball tees with ring bearer or flower girl on the front %26amp; their name on the back.. The girls were done in white with pink sleeves with pink writing %26amp; the boys were done in white with navy sleeves %26amp; 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 %26amp; 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 %26amp; 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 %26amp; dad enjoy the wedding..
Reply:I would get them something they can play with at the reception. Receptions can be tedious for kids, and their parents and you will be grateful if they have something to entertain themselves with. How about hand-held games (Leapfrog makes educational electronic games, also there are electronic versions of Battleship, Tetris, that kind of thing)? I've seen these at Target. Coloring books and crayons and stickers for the smaller ones?
Reply:Gift cards are the best..let them choose what they want as opposed to you giving them something they either have or will toss aside.
Reply:I love to give movie rental gift certificates as gifts. It works for all ages. The youngest ones might like a toy better because they do not understand the value of a gift card.
Reply:I'm getting my flower girl a bridal barbie - I think this idea is adorable!
Reply:I don't know what kind of budget you are working with, but my fiance and I are taking our flower girls and ring bearer to Build-A-Bear. It can be expensive, but kids love it.
Reply:Mayby for the little one's toys r'us to be honest i dont know. A giftcard from somewhere is the best idea.

I got my stuff there. I got the ring bearer ( who was 3) a train bank with his name engraved on the top. They also have footballs, soccar balls, tractors. All different kinds of "piggy" banks for kids and you can get their names engraved in them. I think the train was 15 bucks.


For the flowergirls, go to the same site, I got them the silver brush and mirror set with their initial engraved in the back of the mirror. Very classic, very pretty. For the older girls, you can get them a tote bag with their names or initial on them. Something they can use when they go spend the night at a friends house.
Reply:For the little ones, build-a-bear gift certificates and for the older ones, movie ticket gift certificates. That way, the gifts are age appropriate and the build a bear they can make to be anything they want. You could even pre-purchase little wedding dresses and tuxedos for the finished products.
Reply:My brother was a ring bearer in a wedding and he received a pillow with a fake ring on it. I thought it was a cute idea. This could be a gift for the ring bearers. For the hosts you could give them like a little stationary set. Also for the flower girls for the younger ones just pick out a cute toy and for the older ones a cute basket with some fake flowers in it. (But if you don't want to give actual gifts like I suggested I think that a gift card would also be a good idea) Hope this helps!
Reply:Wow! That's a LOT of kids! You don't think maybe you're over-doing it just a little? I mean, that's just my opinion. I'm not trying to offend you or anything, I promise! It's just that.... 6 or 7 flowergirls! OMG!





To answer your question, I'd suggest a giftcard to Target or Wal-Mart over Toys R Us. There's more of a selection when it comes to the "older" kids.





Good luck!
Reply:Gift cards for all the kids that are over 5 as for the rest ask their parents what they may want or need.
Reply:I know that my friend got all the girls in her wedding party (About 6, all under than age of 9) necklaces. She got the charms from Piercing Pagoda when they had a sale going on. I believe they were sliver disney pricess (Don't know which on) charm. They had only two boys, which they gave a watch to.
