I'm one of four bridesmaids and I have an another idea for the bride that I welcome your comments on...
It's a small way to show the bride how much we care and help alleviate some of the stress a bride can experience in the final days leading up to her wedding day, bringing a big smile to her face.
I'm going to all the wedding guests postcards addressed to the bride. Inside the envelope I send to them (with the postcard inside) I'll write a short note from "the bridesmaids" asking them to shower the bride and groom with love the week of the wedding. They can write their own personalized note on the postcard and mail it to the bride about 2 weeks before the wedding. Then, the soon-to-be mr. and mrs. will be treated to a mailbox full of good wishes, motherly advice and girly prose galore as they head into marital bliss.
What do you think?
Anyone have recommendations on where to look for the cards/poastcards?
What a sweet idea. As someone who has been married, that is a very stressful week! Nice sentiments could help her to take a breath and not stress as much about the "stuff" part of the wedding. In terms of postcards, I'd try to find some that coordinate with the venue or theme of the wedding. My wedding was at a museum, and I wrote my thank you notes on postcards that had artwork from the museum.
