A Sweet Adventure: Will You Be My Bridesmaid?
I pretty much knew who I wanted my bridesmaids to be by the time I got engaged. It just took me a few months to ask them because I wanted a creative way to do so! With the help of my sister, I finally got around to it. Back in middle, my friends and I would create unique ways of writing each other letters. I wanted to mimic that those middle school days. You know with the “K.I.T” and “L.Y.L.A.R.S.”, before the “LOL” days. I wrote personalized letters to each of the eight explaining why I asked them and how much they meant to me. I wanted to get an Envelopments portable pocket but didn’t want to delay my asking further so decided just to make them myself. I got gray cardstock as the backing to the main card:
I then made a “portable pocket” with teal/turquoise cardstock:
The letters went inside the pocket:
And in the front was a picture of me along with the bridesmaid the letter was addressed to. In this case, it’s my sister who I asked to be my Maid-of-Honor. She already knew what it was going to look like since she sat by me making it, but she didn’t read the letter til the finished product:
Of course, I had to ask April who I’ve known since middle school and my best friend for over 12 years:
Here’s a bigger picture of my sister Marj/MOH:
And then the rest of my bridesmaids:
My second-cousin Jona who I grew up with:
My second-cousin Jasmine who’s my older sister figure:
My cousin-in-law Rowena who I’ve grown really close to (Marj, Jas, Ro, & I are a foursome):
A bigger picture of April and I:
Celeste has been my best friend as long as April has. Together, we make up GinApesCel. Here’s the both of us at our trip to Europe (Spanish Steps in Rome):
One of my best friends since college, fellow ABCer & Gossip Girl lover Liezel:
Another best friend since college & one half of The CoCos (I being the other) Sheryl:
Aren’t they all beautiful? Lucky for me, they all said yes! I’m looking forward to sharing my big day with these ladies. Have you asked your wedding party in any particular way? If so, how?
