Day of totes for Bridesmaids

I am trying to figure out what I can put in the totes for the girls in my bridal party! Any thoughts on these or something like them?

Other ideas are welcome. I was going to do a Vera Bradley bag or a Coach bag depending on what I find that I like.

I just need a few things to put in the bag! Maybe a GC to Sephora and some other stuff!

I'm just getting started on this but thinking the same thing. I want to try to personalize the tote gift as well so I'm thinking the necessities including flats, some lotion, makeup etc. but I'm also going to do a picture frame or photo album with pics of us. Still working on it but I'll keep you posted as I think of other ideas :)

Thanks! I just didnt want to do the day of jewelry! Its not a gift for them you know? Its for me! If I want them to wear the same thing then I will just give it to them! You know?

Aww th picture fram is a nice touch too! If I do the Vera tote I am thinking maybe the makup bag filled with stuff - maybe a compact or something - everyone wheres different makeup so the sephora card in it!

UGH So hard!

You mean for totes? Sorry its been a long day! LOL I am going to get vera bradley totes - its something they can use over and over. I want something that doesnt scream my wedding days later! I want it to be about them not about me when they see the stuff I gave them after the fact.

I got personalized totes in black with their names in their favorite color. So I know they will use it after the wedding. To put in them I did personalized Hangers, will put DOJ, and some lotion sets from Bath & Body Works during their semi-annual sale. Not sure if i will put anything else in there since I am covering their make-up too. HTH

Re: Day of totes for Bridesmaids

I'm going to do totes, but really doing it as a 'day of kit' ... Thinking of everything they might need siding the day of the wedding. So far I am thinking of putting in the following: slippers, bottle of water, gum, blotting pads, small makeup bag, mirror, nail file, clear nail polish, blister bandaids, body mist, ...

I'm also planning on giving them DOJ at the rehearsal dinner and hangers the morning of the wedding. I won't give them the totes until the morning of the wedding.

I am doing a bag with coach wristlet/ bag for MOH, blinged out flip flops, a necklace and a blingy frame, since our photographer gives us 5X7s for the bridal party.

This!! I personalized totes with each of my BMs name and will fill it with their gifts. Will be perfect for them to use throughout the weekend. Their customer service is above and beyond.
