A Second Proposal: Asking the Bridal Party

Image

It's Christmas time.  School is ending for the winter break which means my creative tooth is aching and why not put it towards the wedding and more specifically my bridal party.  As mentioned in a previous post, HERE, I've sent my bridal party nada which has been tugging at me for the longest.  Luckily the wedding is still a little ways away which means I haven't officially broken the rules yet.  I've just been pulling my hair trying to find the perfect way to ask my lovely bridesmaids and maid of honor if they will take part in my wedding day.  My fiance' and I have of course asked our bridal party (excluding the ring bearer and flower girls) already and they have all accepted, so now it's time to make things official. 

I hardly ever do things "the normal way", so why would asking those closest to me to be in my wedding end any differently? Here are some ideas I have found and loved!!

I want my ladies and gents to feel special.  And a simple card just will not suffice.

What do you guys think?  How did you ask your bridal party?  Check back to see how I ask mine.

Until next time,

You Better Save My Date!!

So most bridal books, magazines, websites, etc. say to send save the dates out six months before the wedding.  I have five months to go, but I've been looking for ideas.  The pressure of having a close friend or family member do them is on my shoulders but I'm a very creative artistic goofy type of person (so is my fiance') and most of the ideas I've liked have been online.  All of the ideas have included awesome photos during engagement shoots.  We have already done our engagement shoot with the talented Kim from Kim Newmoney Photography (stay tuned for pics). She has the wacky yet awesome ideas that I love so much (check her out HERE).  

This brings me to a site I think is pretty popular in the wedding planning world, Wedding Paper Divas and their blog.  I am thinking about using them for my save the dates and the discounts they sent me in the mail look pretty good.

Here are some of my favorites...

As you can tell, the photos are most important...

Tune in tomorrow for Wedding Photo Friday... The post will be on save the dates from the o so cute to the WTF out of the ordinary.  I'm so excited to show you my faves and maybe give you some ideas.  And check your mail in March you might have one of these save the dates for my wedding...
