My bridesmaids got personalized hangers when asked to be in my wedding. My fiancé, Devin, also wanted to do something special and unique for his groomsmen. With the help of Pinterest, he came up with DIY engraved boxes filled with goodies.

I must say I love having Devin involved in the whole wedding process. We are both very creative people so it’s fun working together on our wedding projects.

First he engraved each box with their initials/nicknames. I completed the exterior look with a stain finish.  Included in each box was a bar of Shea Moisture soap, 2 small bottles of liquor, and cigars we picked up during our trip to Dominican Republic. We topped each one off with a personalized sign asking, ‘will you be my groomsman?.’ Each box cost us around $20 to make and was well worth it. The guys were really impressed and I’d recommend it to anyone.

We gave out the boxes when we went to Louisiana for Thanksgiving break. It was awesome to see each of their reactions when they opened their boxes. All of the them were really surprised and definitely appreciated all of Devin’s hard work especially the personalization of the boxes. I look forward to having all my fiancé best friends in our wedding.
