I Do Times
December 3rd, 2007 @ 12:10 pm by Mrs. Gardenia
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)

Wow, great job! Looks so professional
Looks very creative and informative! No wonder your bridal party loved it
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.
i love them. i wish i can have one of the girls do them for me. i just stuck with a blogspot.
Absolutely AMAZING! Miss Gardenia, may I ask what program you used to desgin your newsletters?

Miss Gardenia,
Nice newsletter!!

I know i’m late to the comment-leaving party, but had to leave a message. This is adorable - you did such a wonderful job and should be proud of yourselves!! I’m sure your wedding party really enjoyed this!

About Me: After 9 years of dating, I’m finally getting hitched and planning a multi-cultural wedding in Orange County, California. I think making brownies is my secret passion in life - I will make my mark in this world through them (a la Betty Crocker). Aside from baking, I also enjoy scrapbooking, being a dessert connoisseur (current fave: French macaroons), photography and I’m also a self confessed spa virgin turned addict.
Good job on all of the detail! You guys truly were creative! My friend is getting married soon and maybe this is something that I can do for her!
