    and I freaking LOVE them!  

    I originally found the ones blogged by rinse.repeat, and the colors that she used are the same as my wedding colors so they caught my eye.  Instead of sending them out I will be handing them out to my girls at the engagement party.  

    I made a few changes: used their names in the box rather than "be my maid," I used regular card stock for the info instead of postcards, I used buttons and yarn to bundle everything (reflects my diy wedding style), and on the front of the box I painted an antique skeleton key and I will attach twine to it after I put the satin finish on tomorrow.

    Here are a couple of pics to show my progress! (sorry for the giant crappy iphone pics)

    those are so cute!I wish I had done a cute box like that with information. I made cards but have been had to tell all the girls everything seperate (about dresses, etc) because i didn't include any little info sheet!

    post when you are done too, can't wait!!!

    These are great. I like that you used their name instead of the "be my maid" cause they can use it afterwards.

    Wow what a cute idea - I just asked them but it would have been nice to give them this as a keepsake~
