Engraved bridesmaid gifts: DIY without sticky fingers
Give your bridesmaids engraved compacts as bridesmaid gifts. The only DIY you have to do is craft a sweet message for the engraving. It could be something as simple as "best friends forever," or "thanks for being my bridesmaid." Even though you didn't carve out the cursive or rhinestone the bridesmaid gift yourself, it still has that personal touch.
Look crafty without spending hours on your bridesmaid gifts. Take a monogrammed bridesmaid tote and fill it with a few of their favorite things: candy bars, cosmetics, journals, vintage postcards or whatever they're into. If you want to give her a bag that no one else has, find a vintage tote or suitcase and add a few unique touches in the form of bows, patches, or a cool pattern.
