Bridesmaids
The official ask!

So I've been seeing a lot of will you be my bridesmaids cards, luncheons, etc. It's something I've always wanted to do, but all my girls already knew they would be participants, not only was it a given but we've had the discussion before. Although they knew, I still planned on giving them a card asking them when we have our engagement party in September. I planned on doing this sooner, but with so much going on and a family reunion coming up next month, we had to push the party back until September. But I was playing around and came up with this little idea for my 6 ladies.

I googled a wedding menu word template and merged the be my bridesmaids design from wedding chicks. The top has will you be my maid of honor/bridesmaids, their duties, a photo of the dress I chose (which eliminates stress and the back & forth we dealt with a month ago), and details on the dress (style #, color, price, what they are responsible for buying, i will provide their jewelry, the shoe color to buy, additions that can be made onto the dress such as straps/halter, when the dress should be ordered by, and the bridal shop contact information). I plan on printing these on card stock and adding a tiffany blue ribbon. I may put together gift bags like I've seen some of you other brides do. Feedback please?

***UPDATE***

YOu did a very good job on that. So detailed and cute. The ribbon and thick card stock will make it look really nice. They should appreciate the thought you put into this. Good job!

Thank you! I'm not even sure if all the girls will be able to make the engagement party, with a few in different cities, one that lives in a city 2 hrs away is scheduled for surgery around that time...so I'm debating if they should all just be given on an individual basis. The one that will have surgery will be in town today so I might give it to her today. I'm so confused! lol

Girl those are so cute! Great job!

I would go ahead and give to the girl who can't make it, but will be there today. I think it will be a nice thought b/4 her surgery. Everyone else who can make party, I would give then.
