Weddingbee Blog

We’re patiently awaiting the arrival of our cardstock to start churning out the Save the Dates, but lord knows, we have tons more to do in the meantime. The ladies and gents in the bridal party were starting to ask when they should arrive in Hawaii, and because of this, another project was born. Our party is geographically dispersed, with some in NY, PA, Vancouver, VA, and CA. That said, we decided to pig-ee back off of other bee innovations (Mrs Lily, Mrs. Jelly Beans, Mrs. Eggplant) and created a newsletter.

I picked up two wedding magazines on our coffee table for inspiration: The Knot, and Pacific Weddings. After flipping through the first couple of pages, I decided to replicate the layout of The Knot’s Table of Contents. I’m super simple, so the layout remains the same throughout and only the images and text change.

The Cover: Wherever possible, we’re trying to include our engagement photos with Inhar since we love them that much. We had already introduced our bridal party via our wedding website, so the newsletter’s focus was logistical information, bridal party attire, and a brief snapshot of what the Pigsters have been up to since the holidays. Do you see the hibiscus? The barcode on the bottom right corner also includes the wedding date.

Page 3: Where are we now? We’ve been busy bees, so we gave everyone a little update on what we’ve been doing since the new year.

Page 4: HI-Style describes our color palette and bridal party attire. Image sources in newsletter: Cupcakes, Yellow Wedge heels, Gold Sandals.

Page 5: Touch Down In Paradise. Here is where we provide the tentative schedule for our bridal party.

We’re going the email delivery route, and will also provide everyone’s contact info in the email. On a separate note, there are 180 days until the wedding!

How did you inform your bridal party of all the details they needed for the wedding?
