Valentine’s Bridal Shower Gift Box

February 4, 2015

Valentine’s Day is almost here and in preparation for the holiday I have teamed up with Wedding Paper Divas to create a cute bridal shower gift box. Instead of sending your bridesmaids a regular invite send them a gift box chock full of fun and thoughtful items, sure to get them excited for your bridal shower! Valentine_001 Presentation is key when it comes to creating a pretty (and impressive) gift. Before buying items it helps to come up with a color scheme or theme. Since it’s the month of love, I chose Valentine’s Day and stuck to fun candies and gifts that were red, white and pink. (It doesn’t hurt that I also love all of these colors!)

Box Supplies:                                                                      Gift Items:
Wedding Paper Divas Bridal Shower Invitations                Heart Sunnies
White Gift Box with Lid                                                   Barr Co Honeysuckle Soap

I can’t event describe how many times I’ve received a gift and been so enamored with the wrapping that I didn’t want to open it. Keep this in mind when creating your gift box. Instead of throwing in a bag of candy place treats in cute glass cork containers for a clean presentation.

Personalize your box by tying off items with lots of colorful ribbon and using customized gift tags.
