I found this amazing blog which had an idea for bridesmaid paper dolls: http://www.oncewed.com/16446/wedding-blog/diy-wedding/diy-bridesmaids-cards/
I basically followed the directions to a T and switched up the dress colors to reflect my personal tastes. We used small paper flowers and secured them to the "hands" to add a personal touch to the project. Additionally, my mom found these great paper doll hair cut outs which we matched up to my bridesmaids hair color and texture:

Once finished with this project, I decided I wanted to make these cards a little more special for my girls. I wanted to give them something small with the card to celebrate with, a small bottle of champagne in a box.
First, I took some shoe boxes (ones that fit heels work the best) and individually wrapped the bottom and the top of the boxes for ease of opening. I used a silver wrapping paper, as silver reflects my wedding colors.
I then filled the boxes with tissue paper to pad the inside. I used white paper to pad the bottom and layered with a piece of silver tissue to cover the white and add some flair.
I them took a mini bottle of champagne (which I tied and curled ribbon around) and placed the bottle in each of the wrapped boxes. I then placed my paper doll cards inside the box and closed the box.
I used Gold, While and Silver ribbon to secure the boxes.
I used a 12x12 sheet of navy paper (left over from the paper dolls) to cut tags which I wrote my bridesmaids names on and secured to the boxes with the ribbons.
I was given nothing but great responses from my bridesmaids!! The extra effort has definitely paid off and made my favorite girls feel special!
