Wedding Wednesday

Since it's the week before Christmas, I thought it would be fitting to include a really cute "gift" idea in my post this week.  If you are looking for a cute way to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids, I think I've found a great option for you!!!

You should definitely head over to The Wedding Chicks website and read about everything involved in making these boxes, but here's a preview for you...

This is a wooden box that was personalized with wedding colors and some major artistic ability.  Inside was info about the big day, the role of the bridesmaids (a non-demanding list with things like "wipe away happy tears" not "do whatever the hell I tell you"), who all of the girls are, info about the dresses.  There was also "inspiration board" type pictures and such.

I guess I would probably not do this if I was unsure whether or not these people would say yes because it's kind of a lot of work for someone who is going to say "thanks but no thanks", but if you have great friends who you know will be honored to stand beside you on that day, GO FOR IT!!!

Happy Hump Day!!!

HOORAY FOR A WEDDING

I am SOOOOOO excited to announce that my little cousin (who really isn't that little anymore) and bridesmaid is ENGAGED!

Her boyfriend (now fiance) surprised her with a trip to Washington DC (one of her favorite places) for her Birthday and proposed there!

The ring is beautiful... I guess I would call it "non-traditional", but I absolutely LOVE it so instead I'm calling it

SOOOOOO PERFECTLY "THEM"

I am so excited for them... we love him and are so excited to officially add him to the family!!!
