Junior Bridesmaid, Come on Down!

Junior Bridesmaid, Come on Down!

So now you know how I asked most of my bridal party, but I had one lady left. My cousin “Kales.” She is 15, so she is sort of in limbo between junior bridesmaid and bridesmaid. While she isn’t old enough to have a lot of the responsibilities of my other bridesmaids, she will be dressed the same and stand up there beside me with all my other ‘maids (seven!).

Although BM Kales lives 2,000 miles away, I was lucky enough to see her shortly after the engagement. I wanted to invite her to be a part of my wedding party in a similar way to how I invited the other BMs.

While looking for vintage Palm Springs images (a new fave pastime of mine), I found it. A cover of a Betty & Veronica comic book called “Palm Springs Weekend.” After some adjustments in Photoshop, I had the front of the card down:

If you look closely you can see “my” character says: “Palm Springs is the tops! I meant to ask you…” And “Kales” responds: “What is it, cousin?”

And the card interior:

I attached the card to a candy bouquet, just as I had done for my other ‘maids.

She accepted! My bridal party was complete!

Are you having a junior bridesmaid? How did you ask your bridal party to be a part of your wedding day?

I have two flower girls — one is 11 which is a bit old for a flower girl. She’ll probably wear a junior bridesmaid dress but still go with the FG title.

Yep, I’ll have a junior bridesmaid. She’ll be 14 for the wedding.

No JB for me. And I am not artistic enough. I love your candy bouquet

This is super cute. Our JBM is Mr.G’s little sister and I just asked her all awkward like. I wish I would’ve done something like this.

(Oh and apparently she asked Mr. G’s older sis if, since she’ll turn 13 before the wedding, if she can be a “real bridesmaid” because that’s what 13 year olds do. Ehhhh…I don’t know about that).
