So far asking my wedding party has been one of my favorite parts of the wedding-planning process.
(Aside: That, and actually deciding on a wedding dress, which I find completely surprising. Don’t get me wrong, I love pretty dresses and getting dolled up, but I never thought I’d actually feel so tied to one specific dress. My rational was simply that all dresses are beautiful, so I’m sure I’ll find one in my price range that I like and feel comfortable in. I am amazed with how much I adore my dress. It is perfect.)
I’ve officially asked my whole bridal party to be in my wedding, and they all said yes! I mean, I didn’t expect anyone to say no, but it’s still super exciting for them all to say yes, and also to be so excited to be a part of the wedding. Mr. O has asked all of his guys to be in the wedding as well, so we’re fully staffed.
In asking my girls to be in the wedding, I used a little Pinterest inspiration and “popped the question” with a ring pop! Mr. O thought it was quite funny, but he was really great and helped me figure out the logistics of how to present the ring pop to the ladies. Three of my friends I wasn’t able to ask in person (one lives far away and the other two live about an hour away) so I asked them online and then texted them my ring pop picture!
How did you guys ask your friends to be in your weddings?
aw that’s so cute. i asked my girls with personalized letters, love it.
That’s adorable! I think I actually say this on another blog too!
What a sweet idea and a special way to ask your friends to be a part of your big day! Love that!
I made cards for all my bridesmaids and sent them out. It was fun surprising my girls through the mail.
I hope the rest of your wedding planning is coming along smoothly and that you’re having a blast!
