I knew exactly how I wanted to invite my girls to be my bridesmaids. I saw this & immediately knew I wanted to use it as inspriation for my bridesmaid invitations. I wanted something special and personal.
I started out by making four paper dolls representing my four girls who will be standing up in my wedding. This was surprisingly difficult and I had to request Guy's assitance in creating the outline for the doll. My 3rd grade skills failed me!
After all four sets were made, I had to create the dresses.
Next up, the hair! Also surprisingly tedious & difficult but so cute in the end.
I finished them off with little faces, names marking the dolls so the girls would know who they're standing with, and a personal note asking them to stand in my wedding. It was such a fun process and I was so excited to send them off and envision the girls opening them! I've already gotten fanstastic calls & messages which made all the hard work worthwhile.
Hope you have a fantastic start to your week!
xoxo

I did the exact same thing for my bridesmaids and who knew cutting out paper dolls would be so difficult. Seriously, my fingers were so sore...and I had to at least cut 15 sets because the arms would be too thing or I cut a foot off. But yours, they are beautiful. I absolutely loved the idea...and I still do!!

Morgan!!!!!!! Lady love. I have missed you. I am not a good blog friend lately. :(
Just wanted to let you know we got your awesome gift in the mail for Smith! Thank you so much for thinking of us. You are such a sweetheart!
We are tired, but doing so well and can't wait to play catch up with my favorite ladies. Thank you again for your kind thoughts and the duds!
Love you ladycakes!
That's such a great and exciting way to ask your friends. It's really fun to do stuff like that. I hand-made all of our wedding invitations because I wanted something different, and it was a blast, and people to this day have saved them (6 years later). I'm sure your friends will be thrilled to stand with you and flattered that you took the time to make it extra-special for them amidst planning everything else for your big day!
What a cute idea, I can believe they will be well received by your friends! So clever!
this is seriously the cutest idea ever!! I love it! So creative. So did you let them know before or was it a surprise?
Such a cute idea! Love it, and I'm sure your girls did too! Love you!
um adorable!! i bet 9/10 of the people that saved that original idea as inspiration wont end up making them. you are the rare!! lucky lil maids.
