One of the first memories you create when beginning the process of planning your wedding is inviting your closest girlfriends and family members to be in your wedding party. Why not get creative with your bridal party invitations by creating a trio of packaged gifts each with a photo of you holding the important message of “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?”
You may think coming up with not just one but three gifts sounds both challenging and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be! Choose any three items that you know your bridesmaid-to-be will love.
Gift trio ideas:
• Three different flavors of macaroons
• Three different kinds of loose leaf teas
• Three different handmade soaps
My favorite idea is to give a gift that is both beautiful and functional, like a set of handmade jewelry perfect for wearing on the day of the wedding.
The jewelry set shown above is handmade by Etsy seller, A Tea Leaf (aka Alissa Thiele) of Portland, Oregon. Alissa combines her love of nature, earthy hues and elegant design to create a line of handmade jewelry and mixed media art. Visit her online shop to see more of her work. Also check out more handmade jewelry makers on Etsy.
