    Since we're trying our best to not go in debt planning this wedding, I'm coming up with as many money-saving ideas as possible.  Fabric/silk flowers (the 1st of which I'm making) for bouquets/bouts/corsages/etc..., making the jewelry, scouring $1 bins at Michaels for cute stuff, etc...  So, of course my money-saving thought also extends to the BM totes!

    I have already bought each of them pretty fabric-made make-up cases from Etsy... they're so cute.  But I wasn't sure what I wanted to stuff all of their loot in.  Monogrammed totes can be super expensive... especially for the size I wanted to get them all.  Then I began noticing all the cute ecofriendly totes that you can find at grocery stores, boutiques, Pier 1, etc... So I spent about a week searching on the internet and finally found these:

    My CHEAP, CHEAP Bridesmaid Totes!!! :  wedding Pink Damask 13

    I found them for $4 a piece!!!  They have all sorts of pretty designs here: http://www.envirovogue.com/.  And part of the proceeds go to breast cancer research- how can I go wrong?

    I'll do them up with some ribbon and a fabric flower to personalize them a bit.  However, I'm stoked and hope my ladies love them!

    Thought I'd share for anyone looking for a cheap, BM tote alternative.  :)

    These were such a great idea! I just ordered them and they were on sale for $2.95!! I do want to do something to personalize the bags for my bridesmaids though. Any great ideas for how to put their names on there. I was thinking maybe spell their names out with some rhinestones.
