Next, inside the box I lined the underside of the lid with scrap book paper, and painted, "Can't say 'I Do' without you!"
Then I filled the box with fun things for them. First was a dress that I cut out and made little hangers for out of wire and had a note attached saying, "Wear me?" Then I placed chocolate in the box, since chocolate just makes it all better when being my bridesmaid gets stressful. I also placed a shot bottle of Malibu rum in there, to take the edge off of the wedding jitters. There is also a small gift in there from me to them to wear at my wedding. I'm a charm bracelet girl, I have multiple bracelets and I love them because it's unique only to you, no one can have a bracelet quite like yours. In light of my love for personality jewelry, I started each girl off with a charm bracelet that I will add on to as the wedding day nears. Each girl has two charms alike, then the rest I personally picked just for them, finding things that describe them and who they are to make the gift more meaningful to them. :)
And guess what? They all said yes!!!

And my lovely friend Lauren!
My girls are great and I'm so blessed to have them in my life!
