Will You Be My Bridesmaid?
There are so many creative ideas out there now on how to ask your peep's to be in your wedding! Being asked to be in a wedding is always exciting regardless of how it is done, but taking that extra step to do something a little out of the box makes it that much more exciting for your "maids to be" and for you!
I am very fortunate to have A LOT of very special women in my life! When it came time to pick my bridal party the list kept going! In an effort to keep it from not looking like a complete circus, I decided to do things a little different. Since we were going with a nautical theme, I decided to call it my "Bridal Crew" rather than my Bridal Party! The Bridal Crew included everyone from my MOH, Bridesmaids, Flower Girls, Honorary Bridesmaids/Greeters, etc.
I had custom T-Shirts made from one of my favorite sites- Bridal Party T's
Then I wrote up little jingles and tied them with ribbon to the T-shirts with another little card that said, "If you accept this invitation, take a picture wearing your shirt and send it to me".
Here are the jingles:
MOH-
You have always been there, more than just a friend.
You know just who I am and everywhere I've been.
Bridesmaids, Flower Girls, Honorary Bridesmaids-
The anticipation of receiving all of the pictures was BEYOND exciting for me, and I think the girls had fun with it too! Here are some of the pictures!

You're the one who I can turn to, any hour of the day.
Seems, I only have to think of you and you'll be on your way.

No matter where life takes me, no matter where I roam.
When I'm with you my cous-ister, my heart feels right at home.

I realize just how special you've always been,
with friendship, love, and guidance, and a shoulder there to lend.
Not a mother or a sister but a blending of the two,
plus a good friend in my life, when I've needed you.
Always knowing what to do on any given day,
you'd listen with your heart and know just what to say.
Soon I will be married and I still look forward to,
the friendship, love, and guidance, that has always come from you.

Some Group Shots!
My recently engaged cousin also had an adorable idea!
I received in the mail a little white box with a pretty pink ribbon and wedding decorations on it!
I opened it up and this is what it said:
And inside...
Of Course "I do"!
(Excuse the appearance, this was at 12am, I just worked a 14hr day)
The other girls did too!
