I was just a BM in a wedding, and the bride made all of us scrapbooks from our entire friendship together (for SEVEN bridesmaids!). It was the sweetest, most thoughtful gift - and I don't even particularly like scrapbooks! A great idea!

The only pic I have right now are of the buckets the items are going in.

Here are the items I have to put in them.
lotion
perfume
tissues
deodorant
mints
hairspray
fold-able hair brush with mirror
band aids
manicure set
shout wipes to go
wet wipes
lip gloss
sewing kit
Advil
bobby pins
chocolate
comb

Everything has a reason behind it and there's a poem that goes with it.

Here's the poem

This Survival Kit was made just to say, I'm thrilled you're beside me on my wedding day! There's chocolate to give you that sugar high, And a packet of tissues in case you should cry. Chap Stick to help you care for your smile, If a nail should break, I've included a file. There is shout wipes if you should spill on your dress, And mints to keep your breath nice and fresh. Lotion to keep your hands feeling smooth, So you can go dance and bust a groove! Band-aids in case your shoes hurt you today,
You can take them off once ( fiances name ) whisks me away! Deodorant in case there's a heat wave. And bobby pins to help your hair behave, There's Advil and Tums if you feel in distress, And wet wipes if you should make a big mess. Perfume to keep you smelling sweet, And a sewing kit to keep your dress complete! Hair spray to help keep your hair in place,
A mirror to check out your beautiful face. I've put everything in this handy pack,So you'll know that this bride has got your back! Thank you so much for all you have done,
Your support, your love, and all of the fun!
I hope this kit helps you and brings you some glee,
It's just a little thanks from the bride-to-be! I will also include the two websites I've based my kits off of.

Sounds super-cute! I'm planning on DIYing mine, but I'm a crafty lady.

armywifeplusthree · August 2012

I'm not crafty at all so this was a challenge for me

TayBeach2013 · August 2012

I'm DIYing survival kits with basically the same things! I love your bucket, it's super cute.

I haven't given a lot of thought to it yet, but I'm giving them wine glasses etched with their names (nothing wedding related, though I know they wouldn't mind). I have enough to do a set of 2 for each, but their husbands, also part of the WP, are getting beer mugs etched with their own names so we'll see. They will also get salt or sugar body scrubs and lip balms from recipes I'm currently playing around with - I'm the hippie of the bunch so they have me put together stuff for them all the time lol. Oh, and I'm DIYing day-of shirts/hoodies/robes and personalized hangers for their dresses, though I wouldn't consider that part of the actual "gifts".

That's all I've got so far!
