I decided today to show you guys a "throwback" DIY that I made last summer right after I got engaged. These boxes are how I initially asked my bridesmaids to be in the wedding. I asked 3 of my girls in a different way, and technically I never asked my brother, haha.
Anyway, I got the actual boxes at Hobby Lobby. Stuff like this goes on sale for 50% ALL THE TIME, so I got a great deal on them. I liked these because they were just the plain brown, and I didn't feel like I needed to decorate them very much. As you can see I just put their initials on them, and tied green (our wedding color) ribbon around them into bows!
The contents of the box were pretty simple. I got the bridesmaid sashes at a party store. Same with the huge plastic engagement rings. The rings actually started as necklaces, but I cut the beads off because my vision was just a huge ring. They were reasonably priced at the party store as well, so it was worth the tweaking! I included the silver ornament (with a green ribbon to hang it) to represent the main colors of the wedding, as well as the decor scheme. You can also see there's a little piece of black fabric - to represent the color I'd be having them wear in the wedding!
I also included this card on the lid of the box. I found this on Pinterest and tweaked it just a bit to fit my situation more accurately!
Overall, these boxes were a cute/unique way to ask the girls (in my opinion) and they really didn't cost very much at all!
In what ways did y'all ask your maids to be in your wedding??
