Hi there, I'm a newbie! I wanted to share my "vintage" themed DIY bridesmaid boxes. I'm currently a student so my goal was to budget without it looking like I am! I have a total of 7 bridesmaids and 1 MOH (aka a lot of boxes). All the gifts I got are all extremely affordable and I accommodated by personalizing everything with customized packaging. I made everything through photoshop and printed them at Office Depot. My boxes are very different from the normal bridesmaid boxes because I included a lot of travel related things since we plan on having a destination wedding.

Outside View: plain white boxes are 11 x 8.75 x 2 Inches from Amazon, I decorated with vintage stickers.

Closer View: (warning: lots of puns lol)
- - - - - -Inside Assemble: (I blurred out the text because it had some personal information). I made a fake newspaper article, including a summary about the proposal and about each bridesmaid. The envelope contains a personal message I wrote to each one in addition to the bridal party's info. The wallpaper on the boxes are scrapbook papers I got from Hobby Lobby (4 for $1).

Packaging Info: I bought treat bags and measured the dimensions before making the tags. I printed everything out from Office Depot using their 110lbs paper to give it that cardboard label effect (black and white = .17 per page).

I hope this post inspire anyone that is looking for affordable ideas!
