I was SO excited to get these in the mail yesterday. I ordered them from LittleLadyCompany on Etsy. I’m hoping I find my crafting genes as we get closer to the wedding, but I know the paper goods are out of my realm. I worked with her over a week or two to customize these to fit me. She was fantastic and went around digging up shades of gray and purple for me. They’re so cute – I don’t even want to give them up, LOL. Take a peek:
HEEEEE. FH is away until Sunday night, and I want him to see these before I give them away. Cannot wait.
Did any of your early wedding purchases leave you feeling giddy like this?
Hoo boy. This is a tough one.
Like most people, I hope, I’ve known a lot of incredible people during my life. I’ve been struggling with the task of which ones to ask to be part of my wedding party. This is one of those decisions that could quickly get out of control and turn into this:
Ack! You can’t even see the people in this picture. The size of this wedding party will probably end up being half the size of everyone even invited to my wedding. So I came up with a few simple rules for myself:
- People who are willing to help & get crafty. I will be asking, so brace yourself.
- People who don’t live terribly far away. Almost all of mine are local, luckily.
- People who don’t have small children or other commitments that would make this difficult. FH’s sister in law would be a good choice, but their new daughter was born premature, so I don’t want to burden her with a big responsibility. We do want to ask her to do a reading or a similar task, because she’s special to us and we want to include her.
Your rules may differ, but I think it’s good to realize these kinds of things before asking people. What kind of qualities did you look for in your wedding party?
