What is a fabulous way to thank an awesome bridesmaid?

My maid of honor was incredible! I thought she would hold a bouquet for me and perhaps throw a shower, but she took being a bridesmaid to a whole new level! She threw parties, went shopping with my mother for a dress, created floral arrangements, made me breakfast on the wedding day, drove me everywhere, went to my dress fittings, anticipated my every need, coordinated details with the other bridesmaids, transported the wedding gifts, the list is so long. I'd like to thank her in a huge way. Any ideas? I have $100 I could spend. Thank you in advance!

What is a fabulous way to thank an awesome bridesmaid?
Honestly, this was the kind of MOH I was for my best friend, everyone commented on how they had wished that their MOH's were more like me. Her husband bought she and beautiful matching rings and wrote a letter that was read at her shower about what he thought our friendship was. It was really beautiful and I was so touched that they had made something that was totally about them about me as well. BUT in all honesty, nothing I recieved gift wise was worth the thank you note that I got from my best friend afterwards. It was heartfelt and genuine and full of such gratitude towards me and my husband as well.


No gift will replace a really nice letter and that will be enough for her. Remember she didnt do all that stuff for a gift at the end, she did it because it was her pleasure to help make your special day awesome.
Reply:thats all you have to spend?





cant do much with that... if it were me i would prob send her on a trip somewhere... maybe get her tix to that concert, or play or show she wanted... something that she would do for you...





seems like what she did is priceless... dont limit yourself on $100. if you can find something free, but more meaningful than money can buy, go for that instead.
Reply:I like the spa certificate idea. I also like givign people keepsake boxes with little trinketts in them.
Reply:Wow...is she for real? Just kidding :) That's wonderful! There's so much you can do, and not even have to spend money. Throw her a thank-you bbq, play all of her favorite tunes and make her favorite food. Make her a "friends" cd of all songs about friendship on it. A personalized engraved picture frame. A day outing for the two of you to a spa, a hiking trip, or a picnic...a girl's night with some chick flicks and a pizza (the last one is my answer to pretty much everything-hahaha)...use your imagination, and congrats on the wedding!
Reply:go out and buy her a few small items and put them in a designed basket with a card
Reply:Take some time and find great pictures of the 2 of you together over the years and make a small or not so small scrapbook for her. I made photo albums/mini scrapbooks for all the bridesmaids and groomsmen with just pictures from our wedding weekend and have received tons of comments on them. They all appreciated having the memories and the pictures (some candid) from our special day. Take some from all the years you have been friends and put them in a thank you book. It is has personal meaning, it's cost effective and you know that she will love it!
Reply:A spa gift certificate so she can relax





a gift certificate to her favorite store





a jewlery box with her name engraved
Reply:I agree with everyone else.... get that girl a spa gift certificate!!!!
Reply:Maybe a gift certificate to a day at a spa? Massages, pedicures, facials, etc. You two could go together.
Reply:Send her to the spa for a massage or a pedicure or something...she deserves it!
