2021.05.18 published
Bridesmaid Box is so Cute♡
If you're a bride-to-be who loves cute and wonderful things, you definitely want to know about and try to replicate the overseas wedding custom: the 【Bridesmaid Box】♡
A Bridesmaid Box, as the name suggests, is a box given to friends who will serve as bridesmaids.
It’s a tradition to pack it with thoughtful gifts such as items they can use in the future, as well as accessories or dresses they might wear on the day of the wedding, all to express gratitude for their role as bridesmaids. It’s just so cute.
It’s a gift box that makes any woman’s heart flutter when they receive it, so I really want Japanese brides-to-be, who pay attention to the details of their wedding preparations, to adopt this custom♡
It will surely deepen your friendships*
What Kind of Gifts Should You Choose to be Stylish?
In this article, I’ll analyze and introduce the gifts to include in your Bridesmaid Box, referencing what other brides around the world are doing♩
I thought about the "Something Four" to include in the Bridesmaid Box♡
① Something to Ask
The first item is something that says, "Will you be my bridesmaid?"
This is a classic item and having it really elevates the feeling that it’s a "Bridesmaid Box," rather than just a regular gift box♡
Whether it’s a candle, bath salt, or a sticker label on a bottle of cosmetics, creating original labeled items is a great idea♡
Making a message out of words written on individual macarons is also adorable.
Directly writing on the lid of the box is a common method that many people use♡
② Something to Drink
The second "Something Four" is a drink.
Champagne or stylish canned juices, along with special glasses, are classic items to include in the box♡
The soothing effects of alcohol combined with its cute appearance can truly make you feel elegant*
Mini champagne bottles are popular as they fit well in boxes. It seems that Moët & Chandon is often chosen.

③ Something with Their Name
Including personalized items with your friends’ names expresses the sentiment of, "I want you to be my bridesmaid♡"
Personalized gifts look even cuter, don’t you think?♡
For example, how about “name-engraved hangers”?♩
Name-engraved balloons are also stylish and modern.
Engraving glasses with names is another classic option*
④ Something to Wear
The fourth item I recommend to include in the Something Four of the Bridesmaid Box is something to wear.
✅ Accessories
✅ Bathrobe
✅ Scrunchies
✅ Dresses, etc.♡
It’s common to include items that will be used on the day of the wedding♡
One More Thing*
In addition to the Something Four, here’s one last piece of advice: "Include something with a diamond motif"♡
This is also a classic element in overseas Bridesmaid Boxes.
It adds a wedding vibe and a sparkling atmosphere♡
(This box has a diamond pen♡)
➡️ Check out the selection of diamond pens on Rakuten Market***
Diamond motifs are often incorporated in paper items or shaped like sweets.
If it were me, I would include "ring-shaped lace cookies" in the box♡
