Pretty Maids All in a Row: How I Asked

As I explained in an earlier post, my ladies are spread out all over the mid-west. Sadly, this made asking them all in person nearly impossible.* I wanted to do something more than just a phone call. However, I am not very patient, and did not want to wait for them to get something in the mail. The solution was easy: I would make cards and call them. The best of both world right? Right!

 I went about collecting pictures of myself with each of the bridesmaids. I also tore out the most obnoxious pictures I could find in bridal magazines. I do not have any pictures of this process because I was not blogging at the time. So sorry.

I then cut out my own, and the bridesmaid's, faces and affixed them to the overly foofy bridal magazine bodies. (As a side note, if you are into foofy dresses more power to you! They look like a lot of fun to wear!) I then stuck these wedding-ed-up versions of my friends and me to a card, wrote a nice note, wrapped the whole thing in silver rick-rack I had laying around, stuffed 'em in an envelope and popped them in the mail. Easy. Peasy. Would you like to see?

 Bridesmaid OT was

kind enough to send me a picture.

Of course before doing all of this I called each one and asked over the phone. It was not overly classy, or sophisticated, but it was fun/sweet/simple. Perfect for my girls and me!

How did you ask your bridesmaids?

*I was able to ask BM Sis and BM OT in person.
