Bags for Bridesmaids!

Getting married is full of preparations, things to plan, purchase, and so on. It is beyond important to remember all those who are going to be there for you on your special day! I put together some great bags for the girls who were gracious enough to put up with me as I get ready to walk down the aisle. Although I would spare no expense for these ladies, there are six of them, and I put together what I think is a great gift for relatively cheap!

(I found everything that went inside the bags at The Christmas Tree Shops)
The Lot (kitten not included)
Step one: Some useful and fun items to get them though the big day! 







I purchased most of the items in the travel section of the CTS. Hair ties, Chap Stick, Hair Pins, and a Q-tip container to put it all in. I have six bridesmaids, 3 Blondes, and 3 Brunettes. I was able to divi up the hair ties, and the pins tend to be okay in a mid color for both hair colors. 










I put in two shades of hair ties, and one chapstick per container. (If you wanna splurge you could also get EOS lip balms, but they wouldn't fit in the containers so I passed). I also added Cotton swabs for makeup removal (or ear cleaning) WHICHEVER!!! 

I just tied a small elastic around the hair pins to keep them from being messy in the container.

Step Two: FUN CUPS

Like a majority of weddings these days we are having ours in a barn, and nothing says barn wedding like MASON JARS. (I LIKE BALL Brand BEST. Ball State (CHIRP CHIRP))

And nothing says "fun girly cup" like a tumbler! 

SO I merged the two! 


I was able to find a set of two floral screw on tops with straws, so I bought three packs of those, and 6 Ball Jars to complete my drinkage! (Make sure when purchasing these lids that you buy the same type of jars. These jars come in wide mouth, the ones above are standard.)






The finished tumbler with a little pink bow added!
Perfect for Sweet Tea, Pink Lemonade, or a Long Island! 












Some other useful items included are WET brushes which I personally swear by! These are great additions because who doesn't need a hair brush! Also I put in a travel package of tissues for those tears that are bound to be shed when they realize I'm married and tied down for the rest of forever!



I Purchased these personalized canvas bags online at Weddingbags.com for roughly 15$ a piece and free shipping on 100$ orders.
