I've moved a lot during my twenties from LA to the East Coast for college to Boston to Cambridge to Hawaii and back to Boston again. And, I've made a lot of really amazing friends along the way. When my fiance and I each decided who to include in our bridal party, I realized that it might be a while until I see my friends since I only make it to LA every few months and who knows when I'll be back in Hawaii and one of my college friends moved to Georgia....so, asking in person seemed like an unreasonable option (although it would have been nice). And, if you know me...you know that I 'm not a "phone person," so calling seemed a little weird and impersonal.
Anyways, I decided to do something a little different. I made cards to send to each one of my friends (I have a guy on my bride's side...whatever one of my best friends is a guy) and included a personal message.
You can grab all this stuff at Paper Source: stamp, ink pad, colored pen, blank card, and envelope.
Once you've picked out your blank card color.......get a nice ink color and matching pen.
Stamp the corners with a cute stamp that's suggestive of a wedding. Paper Source has a bunch of cute stamps: brides, wedding cakes, bride and groom, rings, lovebirds, etc.
And write your would be bridesmaid's name at the center of the card.
Include on the inside of your card a personal message. It's nice to tell your bridesmaid why you chose her (or him) and how much she means to you. We don't tell people how much we care about them often enough.
Maybe you'll even get a picture response back....
