    Hello ladies!  So my plan all along has been to officially ask my ladies to be in my wedding via the beautiful written word.  I have been waiting for the opportune moment (the only one I've asked so far is MOH) to ask- and I've found it.

    I'm going to give my ladies each a letter at my engagement party asking them to be my bridesmaid.  My question for you is, what exactly should these letters contain?  I get the general gist and flattery- but other than that?

    Also, if any bees have done this in the past, could you please attach pics if you have any?

    Thanks a ton ladies!

    Nothing on this one yet?  I know some of the bees found stuff on Etsy... did anyone hand make their BM invites?

    I made each of them cards, and then wrote them an individual handwritten note inside. I also included a card with wedding details and one with contact information since they don't all know one another.

    I will completely admit that the idea for the card was not mine. I saw a seller on Etsy made similar cards, but I was not a fan of the way they were worded/the colors. Also, I knew I could make them myself much cheaper than they were selling them for.

    oooohhh i <3 them though!!  I am seriously considering highjackage of your cards which you highjacked from the Etsy seller!

    I just want something special.  I have plenty of time (2 weeks+) to make them.

    I grabbed some supplies from Michaels and made these simple cards to ask my maids. The front was just made using a stamp and pearl decoration and the inside says "I promise the dress will be fabulous". I didn't take a picture of it but the back said Save the Date 5/1/2011.

    I used a metallic chocolate brown envelope to go with the invites. They two less than two hours, but all my girls thought they were so cute!

    That one is super cute too!

    I am on the fence between the two designs- minimalist vs. the lengthy first one.  I had better decide quick though.  I am buying my supplies this weekend when I go out and buy my decorations for our Engagement Party next weekend :-)

    hehehehe, I might do this later as a "just for fun" since I've already asked to girls to be my bridesmaids.  they were thrilled and were even more excited when I told 'em they get to keep their bouquets!!!  (they're ribbon roses, so why not???  it's a great little gift for 'em...)

    love the ideas!  though I think I'd have to go with something that doesn't include a stamp!  I have two kids that would see stamp, take stamp, and stamp everything in sight!!!! LOL!
