Since Mr. Gardenia and I got engaged, I’ve been interested in putting together a newsletter for our bridal party. I thought it would give our bridal party (including our bms, gms & sponsors) a peek into our wedding plans, since a lot of them have been asking us for a quick update from time to time. But then I thought that the guys might just think that it was a waste of time since I have to put the newsletter together, so I decided to just keep the newsletter for our bridesmaids with information mostly pertaining to them. Since my sister/MOH has a background in newsletters (she was an editor for PASA in college), I recruited her to do all the creative stuff.

She used Microsoft Publisher since she was familiar with it, and I wrote all the articles and got the pictures ready. I started introducing all of the bridesmaids and gave bit of information about the groomsmen - which led me to deciding to send the newsletters to all of our bridal party. The end result surpassed what I was imagining it to be. I’m so happy with how they turned out, and so was everyone that received them! (even our groomsmen)

This looks great! I wish I had thought of something like that. It’s nice knowing what’s going on before the actual wedding day. Maybe in one of the next issues you can introduce all of your vendors…not in a promotional sort of way, but a “here’s who you’ll need to know on the big day” sort of way. That way your wedding party can feel comfortable approaching them with items…or if you have a DOC, you can say everything goes to this person.
