Wedding Wednesday: [NEW PICTURES] How I Asked My Bridesmaids

I'm sure everyone knows by now that asking your bridemaids is not as easy as calling them up on the phone and just asking them anymore.

Nowadays we have good ol' Pinterest.

Pinterest is great, but it can be a little overwhelming for brides at times! There are so many new cute ideas. And as a sucker for all things cute and happy, I fall into its trap all the time. However, the way I decided to ask my bridesmaids came from a thrift store (shocker, I know). My mama and I were at one of our favorite thrift stores and came across these cute little tin mailboxes.

Then I had this idea of asking my bridesmaids with "mail in the mailbox".

I wanted to do something original and new, and this is what we came up with:

-White tin mailbox

-Wedding details on a tag

-The wedding color scheme (made by cutting scrapbook paper into large circles)

-The letter asking the friend to become a bridesmaid

-A wallet sized picture of the friend and I when we were little

-A diamond cookie and a Save the Date cookie from Whimsey Cookie Co.

-Lots of ribbon and washi tape

This project was so fun to do with my mama. She is my maid of honor after all!

The only downside was that she was with me through the whole planning, so she knew everything that she was getting, and also what role I was asking her to play in the wedding (Matron of Honor). However, she did not know what all I wrote to her in the letter OR what picture I picked of us, which are both pretty sentimental things (she cried). Love her :)

Below are pictures of all the goodies!

And here is a sneak peak from the night Matthew proposed! That post will be for next Wednesday! :)
