There is nothing quite like the honor of being in a wedding party. Instead of coming out directly and asking your best friends to be in your wedding, take a little time to do something special for them. This cute bridesmaid box idea is perfect for kicking off the months of planning your special day.
One of the great things about this crafty idea is that anything can be included in this box. In Jen Carreiro’s tutorial featured on Something Turquoise, items included a personalized bridesmaid t-shirt, personalized Champagne glass, split of Champagne, wine bottle opener and a turquoise diamond. For more masculine gifts for groomsmen, consider including a personalized shot glass, miniature liquor bottle, cigar, Zippo lighter or an old group photo.
This would be a great time to introduce the theme and colors of your wedding to the wedding party if you have already chosen them. If not, no sweat. After filling the box with trinkets, add a unique finishing touch with stamp letters and colored ribbon. Simple ribbon colors like black and blue would work perfectly together to complete the gift.
