I gave them each a box full of goodies and a poem asking them to be in the wedding (different for each girl). Lea's mom and Ana's mom cried! I guess that means they were a hit! Each girl got a ring pop, a flower pot that I painted in their favorite colors, a pack of daisy seeds, bath salts (bubble bath for Ana), a pin that says Team Bride from zazzle.com, cookies in the shapes of a dress, double hearts and a ring, a list of all the other girls names numbers and emails (including my mom and future mother in law) a bracelet and a candle for the older girls, a nail art kit for the juniors, and a play wedding veil for Ana.
The poems were from these pages:

I got the cookie cutters and document boxes from Amazon.com
I didn't get a picture of the list of names for obvious reasons, but it was so cute! And also, I found a "cousin" poem for Jessie, and a Flower Girl poem that was unbelievably sweet! It started out as "When I was just a little girl, about the size of you, I dreamed one day that I'd grow up and than get married too!" It's probably in one of the links! Have fun with your Bridesmaid gift bags or boxes! The girls loved them! Totally worth it!
