My DIY bridesmaid box

Written By Jenny Wu on

One of the first thing that I decided when I got was engaged was “who am I making my bridesmaids?” Once that was decided, I had to figure out “how was I going to ask them?” After some googling, I came across these amazing boxes and I knew that’s what I wanted to give to my girls:

Materials used:

  • white cigar boxes, name plates, scrapbook paper, shredded paper filling, and gold acrylic paint from Michael’s
  • card and information card from CatPrint
  • gold bracelet from aMatterOfChoice
  • photo print from Riteaid

Information cards on the other girls, the logistics, and the dresses

Photos of dresses, decor ideas, and old pictures of me + girls

Now I just gotta give/mail them and hope that they like the gift (and say yes!).

Wow the box looks amazing! So crafty and creative!

Your braid maids are going to LOVE this! I'm definitely going to keep this in mind for my own wedding (which probably going to be in 2-3 years time, so hope I'll still remember this awesome idea)

Wow, I love these! They look so good! I especially like the personal touches like the bracelets with their initial and the photos together :) I wish I had thought of doing this because I just asked each one in person without any gifts, haha. I hope they all say yes!

That is awesome!! I love your color scheme by the way! That was actually suppose to be my color scheme too but I had to comprimise with my fiance and we changed them to pink and silver LOL.

Sadly, I didn't get to do anything so sweet for my bridesmaids! I just called them right away as soon as I got engaged and said, "YUP! YOU ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF MY WEDDING!!!" Except for my maid of honour. I asked her in confidence to be special and she started crying LOL.

This is a very nice set. Even I [someone who's not big on weddings] am excited just thinking about it. I think this is because of the creativity involved. :)
