Will you be my bridesmaid DIY ideas?

I know a lot of people will say that you should just ask them without any fanfare, but I really liked making boxes for my girls. I used photoboxes and did some decorating on the outside, with ribbons, lace, pearls and feathers, depending on the friend, they all were decorated to match her personality. On the inside I put a nice wine glass, a small bottle of wine, a card, and a photo of us together. I had to ship them so rather than putting bubble wrap or something in them I bought inexpensive fashion scarves to protect the inside goodies. I had so much fun making them, it also got my crafting skills back up for all the DIY projects I am planning.

I made cookies for all my BMs

I got a dress cookie cutter and some cute sugar flowers and whipped up some cookies and icing. I made a cute little "will you be my bridesmaid" tag for each cookie, and got a box for each cookie, which I wrapped real pretty.

My BMs loved them, they were cheap, and I hear delicious

I bought unfinished boxes at hobby lobby, painted them with our wedding colors and glued a picture of me and the bridesmaid/MOH on the box. Inside the lid I wrote "Will you be my bridesmaid?" so when they opened it they saw it right away. Then as "gifts" I put a coral color candle(got them for about $1 each) that I added a little navy ribbon to, navy nail polish, a little card with my wedding colors glued to it (I kidnapped some paint samples and cut out little hearts in each color) , and then I made another little card with some dress ideas I liked on it so they would have an idea of what they were getting into. Finally i finished each one off with a candy bar I found with a cute navy and gray wrapper(so matching my colors) and a letter explaining why I wanted them. All of the girls really liked them and it only cost me about $10 each to put them together.

I painted a decorative picture frame in my wedding colors and places a cote inside requesting them to stand by my side.

I saw a cute idea in Pinterest that I'm going to use: a plain (or decorated) box with a balloon inside. Attached to the balloon is a note (dont know what it will say yet, probably something along the lines of "I have to ask...") with a saftey pin taped to it. When they pop the balloon a note and glitter will fall out that says "Will you be my BM/MOH?" I think its cute and cheap!

I did a couple different things. One was her birthday and made her a handmade card that said happy birthday on the front and bridesmaid please? on the inside. I also did for a couple of them bought shot glasses and a small bottle of their favorite liquor and as we toasted I asked them. The others I just asked lol pretty much spur of the moment

Since all of my bridesmaids are out of state, I found a really cute inexpensive "will you be my bridesmaid" cards on Etsy. They came out great and a few of my BM called and said they almost cried! A great way to surprise your girls.

I made a little box but am currently at work so I will post when I get off

They're all out of state so I mailed them a card that had pictures of us on them. I went back pretty far to dig up some pictures and they all really loved how personal it was and they got to see pictures they had forgotten about. I then wrote a special note to each of them talking about how they're really important to me and how much it'd mean to me to have them on my wedding day. I printed the cards at walmart and so it was really inexpensive but I think they just loved the sentiment. The more personal the better!

I "Proposed" to my bridesmaids! i got a box and put some tissue paper in it and then put a ring pop in it. then on the inside cover when they opened it I asked them if they would be my bridesmaid and put my wedding date. they loved them!

I used smallish boxes and filled it with a poem, bridesmaid pin, and candy. The poem was special to each one and on the bottom of the poem it said something like " All I ask is you keep me from being a "sour patch," keep me from being an "airhead," and keep me grounded so I don't burst into stars. I obviously put sour patch kids, starbursts, and airheads in each box along with a ring pop. It was pretty cheap and they all loved it.

I made cards with "knot" rings inside asking them to help me "tie the knot."

I got cute little charms on etsy for really cheap that have a purple charm on them...one of our wedding colors...and another charm on it that says "bridesmaid" or "maid of honor." The seller packaged them in a little box that had a note on the front that said "Will you be my..." and then when they opened it, they saw the charm. The charms are actually bouquet charms to use at the wedding!

I made these boxes for my MOH & 4 of my BM's... found the photo boxes at Michael's and just decorated them with stickers and ribbon. Inside I made them tees, split of champagne, champagne glass, card with a note and ring inside, and a picture of the dress I would like for them..

Thank you for sharing everyone! I can't wait to get off work so I can go to Hobby Lobby and start on them this weekend.
