The Ingredients of the Perfect "Will you be in my bridal party?" Gift

I spent several weeks thinking about how I wanted to ask my bridesmaids to be a part of our special day. I came across some ideas online and tweaked them to what would be perfect for my ladies. As far as Blake's gentleman, I knew they would be happy with anything. At first Blake did not like the idea of getting the guys a gift. I figured if I made it a manly gift he wouldn't mind. Needless to say, he didn't.

Ingredients for the Girls:
1 Personalized Card
1 Pair of Bridesmaid panties from Victoria Secret (wasn't even looking for these found them, loved them, bought them, and got a free box for all the girls goodies)
1 Paper doll cut out of all the bridesmaids
1 Luggage Tag
1 Personalized set of tissues to use on the wedding day

A lot of time and love was put into each gift. Lenzy helped me put the paper dolls together.

A glimpse of what the paper dolls were beginning to look like.

Bridesmaid

 A work in progress.

The bridesmaids now have hair. We used a Cricut to make these. 

The front of the card said, "I've found a man, but I still need my girls!" Inside of the card was each of the girls personalized letters.

Putting the gifts together...

The free boxes from Victoria Secrets were perfect. I added a blue bow and it fit our wedding color scheme perfectly. 

Ingredients for the Boys:
2 Cigars (one for the bachelor party and one for the wedding day)
1 Mini Bottle of Jack Daniels to use at their own discretion
1 Individual paper doll for each groomsmen

The starting point.

Paper doll without hair. This is foreshadowing the groomsmen in 15 years.

The finished product

 All ready for the Engagement Party. This is when they will receive their gifts.
