Always a First

I asked my first Bridesmaid today!  I hadn't planned on doing it this soon - We still have one year, nine months and some odd days to go (yaaaay - time is passing!).  The FH asked his best man back in August a few days after we got engaged.  They've been friends since they were 8 or so and it was an expected assumption that he would be asked, plus he was moving to Virginia.  Whatever.  I felt like it was too early and that there would be a great deal of wasted time with nothing to do.

Sooo, a few months go by, I settle on a set list of 'Maids.  We are a big wedding party couple.  We have lots of friends and wanted them all to be in the wedding.  So two girls from college, the FH's sister, a girl I work with, girls I have become friends with through the FH and his friends, and last but certainly not least the wonderful girlie who has the mindset to convince me to date the FH in the first place. 

KS moved to California about a year ago.  I haven't seen her in FOREVER.  We kept in touch via Facebook and texts and randomness.  I knew immediately that I would want her to stand by the FH and I on that very special day. 

I did a great deal of research on how I would go about asking these fabulous ladies to accompany me on this fabulous day.  And I decided on a card.  I got a Cricut for Christmas and have been OBSESSED with using it for the last few days.  I'll be sharing an entire spot about the cards in a day or so. 

So KS came over for dinner tonight and I gave her the card.  She was totally shocked and surprise and said YES!  Soooo...I have my first Bridesmaid.  It's fitting that is KS too, because without her I wouldn't be as happy as I am today!!

How did you ask your bridesmaids?  Did you do something special?

Aw! I'm doing something similar to ask my bridesmaids. I'm writing them sweet little letters, and sending them through the mail. Your bridesmaids are going to love them. Don't forget to share a photo with us!

O I love that you made a card with your cricut! I cant wait to see it! I actually just asked my bridesmaids in person and my MOH over the phone! Would have been cute to make a card though!
