Sending out a DIY Will You Be My Bridesmaid box has become such a hot trend for modern brides. It’s so popular, in fact, that a lot of bridesmaids even come to expect one! 

So how do you put together the perfect box to send out to your leading ladies? We’ll walk you through every piece you need to create the best DIY Will You Be My Bridesmaid box around!

Choose a handful of these options to make your DIY bridesmaid box as big or small as you’d like, and tailor it to your girls.

The Box

First thing’s first, you’ll need a box to hold all your bridesmaid gift goodies! Make sure it’s solid and sturdy, but not too heavy if you’re planning on mailing it.

Drinkware

Whether you prefer to give your girls a custom gift with their name on it, or drinkware that says “Bridesmaid” there a lot of different options you can choose from. Give them a cute wine glass they can use to toast you at the bachelorette party, or a thermos that they’ll be able to keep forever and think of you! Bridesmaids love these options:

• Wine glass
• Champagne flute
• Stemless wine or champagne glass
• Mug
• Wine tumbler
• Coffee thermos
• Shot glass
• Martini glass
• Copper Moscow mule mugs

Spa Goodies

Gift your bridesmaids a box of relaxation! Odds are, you’re not the only one stressing out these days. If you have a specific look you’re wanting your bridesmaids to create with hair or makeup on the day of your wedding, this is also a great way to give them nail polish or makeup in the colors you want them to wear so they don’t need to go out and buy it all themselves. They’ll definitely appreciate that!

Pick just a couple of these options, or make it a completely spa-themed box, the choice is yours!

• Lotion
• Lip balm or lip gloss
• Hair tie
• Bath bombs
• Perfume
• Fancy soap
• Individual face masks
• Body or facial scrub
• Nail polish
• Makeup (for fun or for their day-off bridesmaid look)
• Bathrobe
• Comfy slippers

Sweets

Add a few sweet treats to your bridesmaid box! Note: if you’re mailing your boxes instead of dropping them off in person, you might want to avoid chocolate so that you don’t have to worry about it melting along the way!

• Chocolates or truffles
• Hard candy
• Taffy
• Biscotti
• Cookies

Jewelry

Opt for fun pieces they can wear over and over again, or give them jewelry that you’d like them to wear on the day of your wedding. There are sparkly drop earrings for a dramatic day-of look, or personalized necklaces that are ultra trendy right now!

• Earrings
• Necklace
• Bracelet
• Ring
• Jewelry/trinket dish

Extras

Tailor your DIY Will You Be My Bridesmaid box to your ladies individually, or to the group as a whole! Do you love toasting a glass of champagne with your girls? Throw in a mini champagne bottle! Do y’all love doing your makeup & getting ready together? A mini compact mirror is just what they need! Is your bachelorette party somewhere sunny? Sunglasses are the perfect idea!

Whatever you choose, make sure you pack the box with confetti filler for a beautiful presentation, to cushion your goodies, and keep it all in place.

• Mini wine or champagne bottle
• Candle
• Sleep eye mask
• Mini compact mirror
• Customized drink koozie
• Keychain
• Sunglasses
