How to Make Affordable Bridesmaid Proposal Boxes

Our Wedding planning happened really quickly. We didn’t want to wait until after the pandemic was over to tie the knot. (I’ll do a separate blog posts on how we planned a pandemic safe wedding)

I asked all my bridesmaids over the phone to be in my wedding (they all live out of town.) Even though everything moved super quickly, I still wanted to a simple bridesmaid box that let them know that I was grateful for them being there with me on my big day.

I looked up a bunch of ideas on Pinterest and what I found is that these boxes are pricey. When you’re planning a wedding, spending an extra couple hundred dollars is a big deal. I wanted to find something cute, and relatively affordable to give them.

Items Included

–Robe -$5 (Price Increased)
–Essie Nail Polish -$8
–Face Roller -$5 (From TJ Maxx – Similar item linked)
–Surgarfina Champagne Candy – $7 (I used a promo code)

I searched for a box I liked, and settled on one with a clear top. I liked that you could see the items before even opening it. I grabbed filler paper for the dollar store.

I then put them together, personalizing each box by adding my bridesmaids names to each and a sticker on top of the Sugarfina boxes that popped the question! I used my Cricut machine for the names and printed labels from my computer.

I filled the items to make sure you keep see everything separately.

finished them off with twine and a little wild flower from Trader Joe’s. These were pretty basic but my girls still loved it!

These may or may not be your style, but I wanted something simple and inexpensive. Hope this helps inspire you’re bridesmaid boxes!
