Not intentionally budget friendly, but I gave my maid of honor a frame that held like 3-4 photos of us throughout the years, and a long handwritten note

I found some great robes on Etsy that were like $15 and we all wore to get ready. Could also do a framed photo. Or have custom sugar cookies done. I think a lot of the tumblers and Etsy stuff is overplayed and no one really wants (personal opinion) even tho it’s cute?

I did personalized hangers from Etsy that were cheap and made for a cute picture of their dresses hanging

Since most of bridesmaids are local to me, I’m doing a picnic in the park/beach with some snacks, etc. I’ll use one of those picnic companies but you can do it yourself if out of budget. I figured most of the people I will ask will have been bridesmaid in the past already and probably doesn’t need any more personalized things and everyone likes snacks and drinks.

Grant it, this only works in your bridesmaid are in your same location.

I found little boxes on Etsy that were cards, a tumbler, hair tie, and something else I think. They ranged from $25-50+

🤷🏼‍♀️ was just a lot easier for me and shipped right to them. Glad you found something that worked for you

Mine wasn’t necessarily budget friendly but I did cute custom boxes and champagne glasses from Etsy, save the date and champagne bottle “will you be…” stickers from Etsy, a sticker and card from the location of the wedding, mini chocolates from tj max, a lip mask, a eye mask, and a little heart shaped gua sha! You could definitely pick and choose some of those items to make it more $$ friendly

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree.

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
