Guys. It happened. I’m still so excited I can barely contain myself… My biff Michelle asked me to be her Maid of Honor!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ❤

I wanted to share this with you all because 1. This legitimates this series even more since I’ll be documenting every moment of the journey as I #makeallthethings in my official role as crafty MOH and 2. I really think Michelle made the most meaningful boxes, so I just have to show y’all how amazingly she did!

Even though most of us knew we’d be bridesmaids because we always talk about it, it was a beautiful moment to see the boxes with our names on it, and even more – open my box and find the “Will you be my Maid of Honor?” card in there. We didn’t know when she’d ask us because she wanted to keep it a surprise, but of course the perfect moment was at the engagement party, since we’d all be there already and she didn’t have to get us together on a separate occasion. I did have a feeling she was going to do it that day because she asked me for help in making some stuff with my Cricut she was going to include in her boxes (and some for Brian’s boxes as well), and they asked for it literally in the midst of my crazy week finishing stuff for their party and all the other orders I had due that same day… But I digress 😛

So, the box-opening moment – ah! My adrenaline was rushing. Michelle’s mom, Marta was looking at me and smiling so I was super anxious and then bam. I saw the words and started jumping! Now let’s go into the BEAUTIFUL stuff my biff got for us. As you may have seen on the interwebs, the “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” boxes are very in right now, and a lot of them have the same few items: a small bottle of champagne, a nail polish, maybe some jewelry with a knot in it (a “help me tie the knot” reference), and some other random item. Michelle wanted to do something different, and she KNOCKED it out of the park!

 

Isn’t it beautiful? This is what she included:

1. A picture of her and each bridesmaid in an adorable frame.

2. The “Rosé all day” gummies from Sugarfina.

3. A customized golden pouch with our names on it.

4. The most beautiful little compact mirror, customized with our names as well

5. The color palette preview of our dresses!

The “Color Palette” words glued to the inside of the box lid were what she asked me to cut out with my Cricut, because of course that cannot be done by hand. And for Brian, they asked me to cut out a bow tie and four buttons, to do this:

FYI – Brian’s boxes were also a knockout. He included a flask, the Cuba Libre gummies from Sugarfina as well, and a wooden bottle opener you hang on the wall with the guy’s initials engraved on it. BOSS GROOMSMEN!

Bring on the MOH duties sonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
