After perusing various blogs filled with crafty, creative ideas, I came across this post on Once Wed. I knew I wanted to ask my bridesmaids to stand up for me in a special way, and this project hit all the right notes. You may also recognize these darlings from one of Miss Cardigan’s earlier entries! I’ll leave the instructive detail to the original post, but here are some pictures of how the cards turned out in my hands!
1. Trimming, 2. Scoring, 3. Folding and tracing, 4. Cutting
All the cut-out dolls lined up in a row
I added details like dresses, different hairstyles, and names.
Personalized belly bands ready to go (That’s my trusty Uniball Signo white pen in the foreground.)
The finished set, ready to be stuffed into an envelope and mailed!
I had so much fun making these, and I think the girls appreciated the personal touches. Did you do something unique for your bridal-party-to-be?
So cute! Is this a sign of fun crafts to come? I think so!
adorable! I wish i knew about weddingbee before i asked my bridesmaids because I would have totally done something cute like this!
Wow, did you hand-write the names of the girls on the paper dolls?? Your handwriting is AMAZING!!
OMG those are so creative! Your girls are going to love them.
I made these EXACT cards for my bridesmaids too! They were so much fun to make and such a hit! Yours look adorable! I love the green dresses!
I met one of my bridesmaids for lunch, and was trying to find the perfect time and phrase to ask her…. then I just blurted out “WILL YOU BE A BRIDESMAID?!” in the middle of conversation because I couldn’t wait. 
My other bridesmaid, I wanted to wait until Cinnamon Buns, and I were with just her and her husband, because we wanted them both in the bridal party. After waiting forever, we finally had the moment, and I said something about needing a bridal party, and they were like ‘yeah, you do have to pick people’. Mr Cinnamon Buns said ‘I think that was her asking you’. We all had a good laugh.
I haven’t been visiting the Bee enough lately to keep up with all of you new Bees, but just ran across this post and am so in awe of your style and crafting skills! I’ve seen these done before, but you definitely added your own flair! So adorable!
I made picture frames with a cute little poem and a picture of the two of us. All of the girls have them displayed in their homes. I love this idea as well!!
We love these…such a personal touch!
Oh these are too flippin’ cute, and the dresses actually look a bit like my BM dresses!!
@Mrs. Trail Mix: I did! But, I fashioned them after a font called P22 Dearest Script.
@Miss Cinnamon Bun: I love your stories! I actually squealed it out to my sister/MOH on the phone when I called to tell her I was engaged. 
We were both screaming like maniacs!

Mrs. Tartlet, Rochester, MI Age and Occupation: Age & Occupation: 27, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Medical Student Engagement Date: May 2, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: The Royal Park Hotel About Me: I'm an exuberant gal from the Midwest with a penchant for Neuroscience and anything sparkly. I'm not afraid to poke fun at myself, and I'm a believer that given the right pair of shoes, a girl can conquer the world. While an interest in the sciences threw Mr. Tartlet and me together (again, and again, until it finally stuck), we share a love for many things---food, video games, car dancing, food, bad puns, travel, did I mention food?---that ultimately led us to where we are now, less than five months from becoming Mr. and Mrs. We're planning a laid-back, romantic, garden-inspired affair with organic and quirky touches that reflect our love for the unexpected!
