Bridesmaid Invitations

Is anyone planning on (or has anyone done) "will you be my bridesmaid" cards? I'm planning on doing a DIY version of them and was seeking some inspiration...any ideas are helpful. THANKS! :)

I wish I did. I was so excited, that I didn't do anything special other than scream "will you be my bridesmaid!!!!" to them. :) Thinking back, I wish I had put something nice together!

Good luck!

I know I did that with my best friend too :) I initially thought that I would only have my best friend stand up for me as my MOH, but now I am thinking I would like to incorporate some more of my girlfriends so I thought it would be neat to do the cards. Thanks! ;)

Haha I just emailed them, pretty lame I suppose. Martha Stewart had some nice ideas, try using her search engine! You could always just handwrite a note on sweet stationary.

My best friend asked me and her other bridesmaids by sending us a link to a slideshow of photos of all of us at different times with her (dating back to grade school - so cute!) - and ending with a slide that said "Will you be my bridesmaids?" I still get a little teary thinking about it!

WOW aching that is super cute.

I made cards and included a monogrammed cooked, PIB under DIY. I was going to include a BM book, but they didn't arrive in time so I sent them out with my first BM newsletter.

You can see mine in my pictures (#5). I tied it with ribbon and used a wax seal -- love those! There was nothing "bridesmaidy" about it, just told them how much they meant to me. I also was sure to mention that it may not be easy (i.e. may cost them money, include travel, etc.).

I would go to www.weddingbee.com. Search for DIY tag and you'll find lots of ideas on various projects. It gave me lots of inspiration! :-D

Thanks everyone, you all have great ideas for me to research! In particular, Aching, I LOVE the online slide show idea, very cute! Soon2BWilcox, I also like your idea of the BM book, can you suggest where I might find a good one?

Kohler - I bought mine used off of Amazon. I believe I bought the Bridesmaids Survival Guide, or something like that. I recommend doing a search on there. Most of my maids hadn't really been in weddings, so I thought it was good. Some are also so outdated that they are down right funny.
