Bridesmaid & Groomsmen Engagement Party

My last post was some of the items that I made for Kristina's Engagement Party, but today I want to share the Bridesmaid & Groomsmen boxes she put together to ask their friends to be a part of their wedding party.

For the girls she purchased boxes from Michaels, black "Team Bride" tops from an etsy shop, glow rings from the party store and a pretty sheer bag to put the rings into.  She also decorated the cutest tiny bottles of champagne using silver glitter, sheer ribbon, tiny strip gems and a pretty pearl to put into the center of each bow.  They look like a bridesmaid dress...

For the guys she purchased boxes from Michaels, black "Team Groom" T-Shirts from an etsy shop and decorated the same tiny champagne bottles using glitter paper, white paper, black satin ribbon and tiny black buttons.  They look like groomsmen tuxedos...

For the little girls and boys, they have the same boxes but with bottles of apple cider instead of champagne.

She also wrote a very special note to each of the girls and added a photo of the two of them together.  Eric wrote notes to the guys too.  Then she printed and glued them to the inside tops of each box.

All of their friends were so excited to be asked...some already knew but some did not so they were so happy and surprised.  I will add a photo here so you can see them all...and yes Kristina has 12 Bridesmaids and 2 Flower Girls while Eric has 10 Groomsmen and 1 Ring Bearer.  That's going to be quite a wedding party but when you have so many bff's how do you choose...right?!?!  LOL

Decorated Champagne Bottles...soooooo cute!

Each box was tied with a lace bow...

You may notice one of the Groomsmen's T-Shirt says "Team Bride"...that's Carl (top right) and he is Kristina's Very Best Friend so..."Team Bride" for him.

The party was so much fun for all...It was wonderful to meet some of Eric's family and to be able to visit awhile before we have the wedding in June of 2015.  Unfortunately Kristina had two bridesmaids who couldn't make the party because one, just a week ago, had a baby and the other lives in Spain and will be coming out next May to stay for a whole month before the wedding.  She is also missing one of her flower girls who was on vacation with her grandparents.  Eric was missing two groomsmen.  They both live out of state so they couldn't make it either but all will be there for the BIG DAY!

Now on to Kristina's list of things to do for the wedding...That list is another long one...LOL

Can't wait for the big day...SAVE THE DATE...June 20, 2015!

Thanks for stopping by...

Hugs...
