bride box

Idk much about those boxes. Are they truly necessities? If not, then reevaluate ehat your top priorities are with your limited budget.

Maybe let people people know this would be a good idea for you. I haven't seen any for $20, and while they're a lot of fun, they're mostly just cute swag. If you already have a tight budget is this really something you want to put money toward?

Meant to say "good gift idea"

If you're on a tight budget already, I wouldn't recommend wasting money on monthly bridal boxes. They're mostly knick-knacks that you won't end up needing or using, in my opinion. You're better off buying yourself something for $20 each month that you actually want

One thing you could do is put together your own bridal box each month! Check Etsy, Amazon, Oriental Trading Company, eBay, and/or Facebook Marketplace for items that you would like - it'll most likely end up being cheaper than paying for a subscription box (which is usually anywhere from $30-50 per box, not including shipping), you can control the cost to stay under budget, and the items are guaranteed to be ones you'll like, since you picked them out! The items that are typically sent in the subscription boxes are things such as shirts/hats that say "Bride" or "Fiancee" on them, wedding-themed wine glasses/coffee mugs/water bottles, ring dishes, planning organizers, countdown blocks, jewelry (such as, earrings that say "Mrs" on them), etc. These are all things you can find on the other sites I mentioned!


Another thing you could do is find a discount code for the subscription boxes (often times, they'll do a discount off your first box), and sign up for a one month subscription, then the next month, switch to a different subscription box (and find a discount code for that one too). The downside to this method is that you'll only get one box from each subscription company, since the codes are typically only valid for new customers. This would help bring the cost down though.

The cheapest one I've seen is around $35 per month. I tend to agree with PP that if money is tight, this probably is not the best use of it for you. You might not/probably will not use or like everything in the boxes. I would caution you that if you are able to find a box for $20 or less, the items will probably be of lesser quality.

What I would do in your shoes is either a. Indicate you'd like it as a gift (Christmas is almost here!), and/or b. Put together a curated wish list of items you'd really like and save up for those. Kate Spade has some nice bridal themed stuff, sometimes expensive but you can often find it secondhand for cheap. Marshalls, HomeGoods etc. also has wedding stuff that's similar to what you would find in a box. One of my BMs got me a really cute wine glass from Stein Mart.

Hi Lisa! You could also look into getting a subscription bridal box that comes every 2 or 3 months instead to spread them out a little bit more!

Thanks all!

I ordered Miss to Mrs box for my daughter, it costs $45.00 if to buy only one box. There are 8 items, all of them are cute, and my daughter liked them so much!

So worth it for a self-planning bride-to-be!

However, as I know, there's a coupon code, if to choose the subscription boxes.

I'm going to buy a 6-months subscription for my daughter and support her in such a nervous period.
