HAPPY MONDAY,
There is only 20 days left before our wedding :-)
So I finally have the gifts completed for my bridal party. I didn't want to do any generic gifts, I wanted everything to be custom/personalized for them. With the help of my mom we finally have all the gifts completed. I have another special gift for my Maid of Honor that is still working on.
Here is what I got my Bridal Party:
-Custom Tote Bag with their name and initial
-Custom glass with vinyl initial (DIY)
-Custom "Bride's Entourage" Shirts (DIY)
-Custom Purse Hanger
-Custom Hanger with initials and names (DIY)
-Rhinestone brooch for dress or bouquet
-Custom card with the help of Shanny Pooh Designs (mrshtobe)
-Pocket hand sanitizer (I'm a germ-a-phobe) so I know they will laugh at this. I'm always the one with the hand sanitizer and wipes lol.
Oh, and they will be getting their make-up and eye-lashes done on the day of the wedding compliments of me and my mommy :-)
Do you think this enough? I feel like I should get something else as well.
Here is the DIY and purchase information:
Hangers: I bought them from WalMart. I sprayed painted them and let them dry for a day. I had the letters from my scrapbooking days, but I know you can still buy them from Walmart or Micheals. I got the purple bling embellishments from Michael's and the pearl and crystals were left over from my cake topper. I just got creative with it. I love how they came out and will great for pictures :-)
T-Shirts
I think I talked about these in another blog, but I bought the shirts from Old Navy and then rhinestone iron-on transfers from ebay...it was very simple to just iron on and VOILA "bling bridal shirts)
Cards
Shanny Pooh Design did them for me and I just attached it to some glitter paper that I had in the house
Initial Glasses
I purchased the glassed from Bed Bath and Beyond, but I've seen them at Walmart before. I purchased the vinyl letters from an Etsy Seller (SherrysStickers) and I just put them on the glass. It is kind of hard though...you have to position them just right. I was going to add a crystal on each one, but I ran out and I'm not buying anymore lol
Tote Bags
I got tote bags fo everyone including myself, my mom, my make-up artist and my bridal party. I ordered them from ebay seller- specialoccasionswarehouse
Purse Hangers
My mom has a co-worker that custom makes these and I had him do some for my bridal party :-)
Hand Sanitizers
Purchased from Bath and Body Works
I am sure they will love your gifts!!! They are all really well thought out :)
They are going to love it!! I can't believe only 20 days left!! so exciting!!!!!!!!
