DIY Wedding
Completed Bridesmaid Survival Kits!

Hey Ladies,
A followup to the previous post...
Tonight I went out and purchased all the stuff for my DIY bridesmaid survival kits. I bought everything at the dollar store. This was a pretty inexpensive project.

List of items:
Ziploc bags- free (already had)
Cardstock for label- free (already had)
Dove deodorant- $3 (for all 3)
8 pack of individual kleenex- $1
Tic Tacs- $1.95 (for 3)
Bandaids-$1 (for one box)
Tylenol- free (already had)
Tampons- free (had a sample pack of 3)
Lip Smackers- $1 (for 3)

Total Cost: $8.98 (incl taxes)
= approx $3 for each kit

This is one of my DIY projects that I really enjoyed. I think my BM's will love them!

**Also an update to the previous post, I found ziploc bags that are 4" wide, but they are far too small to fit much in them, so I will be updating the templates so that they are 7" wide (standard size ziploc bag). **

****Forgot to mention, I purchased all the items from Dollarama (except the stuff I already had). To my fellow Canadian WBC girls, I highly recommend buying the things for your survival kits from the dollar store. I went to Shopper's Drug Mart after I went to Dollarama, and everything was about double the price. The small dove deoderant was actually more than double, it was $2.29 at Shoppers!! And I got it for a dollar at the dollarama :) ****

me, again.
it would be a good idea to put those flossing picks in the kit, too!  I think you can buy a pack of 12 or so and put one in each kit.

My FH and I are doing something like this, We found these little luggage bags that we could get embroidered ( at the mall! ) So we are literally stuffing them with everything we can possibly think they are going to maybe need on our wedding day.
