Right after Christmas (about two weeks after the proposal) I ordered ornamnets that 'Will you be my Maid of Honor?' for the two girls who would have that role, and three ornaments that said 'Bridesmaid'. I feel like it was fitting seeing as how we got engaged so close to Christmas. I also bought Bridesmaid/Maid of Honor etiquette books for them, which I thought was a nice touch.
I finally got my stuff together for this past Friday, July 10th, almost 7 months after we got engaged, and invited the ladies over. We ate dinner, drank sangrias and danced to The Proclaimers since they were playing on the TV. It was a wonderful night and it reaffirmed the reason why these Ladies are the ones I want standing by me on the day that I marry my Best Friend. <3
These would be the little baggies that held the ornaments, books and a card asking the girls to be my Maid or MOH.
They were pretty excited about the books and promptly started dancing in line formation.
This is me and one of my lovely MOHs, Kate. She is getting married just 4 months before I am, so she will have the role of Matron of Honor come time for my wedding. (I am also her MOH, so this should be fun!)
Another lovely MOH, Melly. She is my crafting buddy, so I'm sure she'll be the first to volunteer when it comes time to start my DIY projects.
Myself and my good friend, Kelly. This is the lady responsible for the wonderful pictures of our engagement!
My sister in-law to be. I met her when she was in 8th grade and now she's all adult like! It's irksome! <3
I guess instead of setting up the timer to take a picture of all five of us, we decided to take a picture of our feet. Haha! So much fun!
A good time was had by all. They actually had no idea that I was planning this, so it was kind of fun the look of surprise on their faces when they were opening their cards. :)
