Something Special

Doing something that is special to you and your friends is a great way to make your gift to them more personal. If you all are plant lovers, add a succulent! Do whatever is special to your group of friends! Or if you just want to make it more personal, add in pictures with them or a handwritten note to each bridesmaid.

Vacation Mode

Making a box of goodies that all of your friends can use on your bachelorette trip is a great way to do your proposal boxes! This can be items you want all of your friends to have the same of such as pjs, hats, or just things that will be useful on your trip! Another fun item for the bachelorette trip is a disposable camera for each bridesmaid! We just partnered with the cutest accessory company. I mean look at THESE earrings!!!
