Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

I am honored to have so many wonderful friends in my life.  When it came time to ask my besties to be in my bridal party, I knew I wanted to do something a bit more me than calling and popping the question.

First, I wanted to get pretty cards to enclose in the packages.  I found wonderful ones on etsy.

I bought these from Jenuine Paper on Etsy.

I already have my mom collecting vintage hankies for the wedding (which I may monogram with our initials and or the date if I'm feeling super ambitious) for the ceremony.  I am known as a crier, so as a partial nod to that and our vintage style, we're doing a basket for happy tears that our guests can take prior to the ceremony.  I wanted something special for my girls, so I bought hankies that were monogrammed with their initial for each of them.

I bought mini bottles of champagne for the girls as well.

I used navy and white tissue (our wedding colors) with silver star garland and lots of ribbon.  I stamped large gift tags with a new chandelier stamp and wrote the messages on the other side.

All my packages, ready to go to my friends all over the country!  I loved decorating them all with my Lilly stickers and labels.

I can't wait to be surrounded by my amazing friends during all of the wedding preparations and festivities.  Did you ask your friends in any special way? If you've been a bridesmaid or MOH already, what was your favorite part of your special role?
