Now, here's what I did...
Okay, so for my bridesmaid proposal gifts, this is what I did! Firstly, I bought these well made (and affordable) boxes off of amazon. I filled them with tissue paper, but you could use crinkle paper, news paper, get creative! I wanted our wedding to become a capsule in time for each person attending. If they heard a song or experienced a scent, it would take them back to that memorable weekend. I curated a few dynamite playlists on Spotify, let me know if you're interested! So, I purchased five of the same candle, Dandy, from Milk Jar, out of Calgary. Their wicks are the cool wooden crackling kind! (my fav) An added bonus is that they are made from plant based coconut soy wax. Next up, I contacted @nostringsco and she graciously designed scrunchies for each lady (and my flower girl) with fabric that matched their dresses! I also threw in a pair of Knix underwear. Have you tried them yet? They're so comfy! Lastly, each girl got their favorite bottle of wine OR a can of local craft beer. I finished each box off with a heart felt letter and portrait of my bridesmaid in her dress beside me!
