Wedding Morning Box

VintageBelle

Hi

One of my best friends is getting married in a really small service.

She is only having the closest of her family there so I won't see her get married but would love to make her a gift box for on the morning when she's getting ready.

I haven't got very far with ideas and would love to see if any of you have suggestions?

So far I have:

-mini bottle of champagne
-champagne flute
-rescue remedy
-mini cake or chocolate (debating if it's a good idea or not).
-good luck trinket I'm making.
-I'm going to fill it with confetti/rose petals

That's as far as I've got.

Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there,

I daresay she will have the bubbly and glass covered, but it is a nice idea.

I think this is cute, and could be made yourself from a charity shop cup and saucer if you're craft (either that or Mrs. X)



Is she having a hen night? You could make a little scrapbook for her of photos, wishing her luck and saying how happy you are to be there with her on her big day.

I'm sure whatever you put in there she will be thrilled at the thought!

Awww that's really cute.

I don't know if she's having a hen night, she hasn't mentioned anything yet so I'll have to ask.

I think this is a lovely idea!

Could you go for Haribo as a sugary treat? No danger of marking the dress with that

My SIL did one of these for me and it was so thoughtful! She filled it with little things that might be helpful on the day - tissues, a bottle of gin (colourless in case of spillages), chocolates, clear nail varnish etc.

What a kind and thoughtful idea Even if she doesn't eat some cake/chocolate before the wedding I'm sure they will be happily appreciated later. What about a little bottle of mineral water too? So she's not parched saying her vows!

Thanks guys/gals. I'm excited to make it for her now

Little packet of tissues for those last min nerves, little perfume sample, Mints to keep her breath minty fresh, bottle of water, sweeties to keep her blood sugar up, plain biccies like a digestives cause if she was like me..she won't manage much for breakfast and have to wait till wedding breakfast! (Got married last week and was so thankful for my mum having some biccies handy!))

Hi Cashewnut!

I was at a wedding where these rubber stamps were given as a small gift, I loved them so looked them up afterwards and found they are quite cheap as well. They would be a perfect keepsake for your gift box.
