My daughter has been asking lately who I've picked for the Maid Of Honor and I told her that it was between Robyn and Julie. She has no idea that I'm going to ask her to be my MOH! I'm pretty excited. Her and I hang out more than anyone else I know, so I really couldn't imagine having anyone else stand in that place when Lance and I get married.
The last couple of days I've had to keep everyone out of my craft room, so I posted a little sign which piqued Bailey's curiosity that much more.
"What are you doing in there?"
"Just crafts"
"Then why can't I come in?"
"Because they're secret crafts."
Then she'd purposefully walk loudly down the hall so I would think that she was going to try and come in. I had stuff everywhere!!! Cut up bits of card, crepe paper, glue, glasses... It was like Frank's Red Hot Sauce... I had that shit everywhere!
After two days of cutting, gluing, etching, writing and organizing, I had my boxes all prettied up and ready to be dispensed.
Aren't they the prettiest? I made each girl a chipboard book with lots of info in them.
Page 1) Will you be my MOH/Bridesmaid?
Page 2) A personal letter to each girl begging them to say yes.
Page 3) The Bridal Party. I wrote down who's who, including the Grooms party.
Page 4) So is it a yes? A little note stating how freaking excited I am that we get to go dress shopping!
Page 5) A color scheme and a note about the dresses. As long as the color is right, I don't care what style they pick!
Page 6) Your Role - I explained on Bailey's one that her job is a big one and that she can ask the Bridesmaids and my Mum for help, then on the Bridesmaid ones I explained that Bailey will need help and for them to keep her motivated.
Page 7) The plan. What is going down the night before, the day of and the day after!
I added some cute little gems to the front of these books afterwards!
Each box has a bottle of Champagne with a "Will you be my MOH/Bridesmaid?" label that I'd ordered from a guy on eBay long before I realized that I could easily make them myself. An etched mason jar with a handle. Each one has the girls name on and an etched picture of a dress on the other side. These were fiddly and I didn't really enjoy making them, but I'm sure I'll get better at them with practice. Some cosy fluffy socks, facecloths and a nail file. A candleholder and candle and a bunch of candy and other little filler things like hand sanitizer, tissues, notebooks, etc.
I really hope that bridemaids will be as excited opening them as I was putting them together. #needstogetalife
Here's hoping that no one says no!
