Mrs. Brooch's Picture
Mrs. Brooch, Arlington, VA Age and Occupation: 25, Writer/Editor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Front Desk Manager Engagement Date: October 3, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Oxon Hill Manor About Me: I’m an indecisive girlie-girl with a motor mouth, can-do attitude, and knack for making others laugh. I dream of becoming a best selling novelist like Elizabeth Gilbert or Julie Powell (a girl can dream, right?), and love long road trips, a beautiful countryside, music, blogs, books, and all things vintage/thrift/antique/or homemade. I’m a Virgo, i.e. overly sensitive, emotional, and critical, and there’s no such thing as short and sweet in my world. I want to say and do it all. Mr. Brooch grounds me. I point where to go and he figures out the way. He’s a pragmatic fancy-pants who enjoys video games and movies. We both adore our mutt, Rocky, and spending time with our amazingly supportive family and friends. We’re planning a garden wedding with a formal reception with lots of whimsy and unique, Southern-inspired details.

Online Bridesmaid Newsletter

January 11th, 2011 @ 2:22 pm by Mrs. Brooch

I finally got it done! I’ve been wanting to do a bridesmaids’ newsletter for a while, and I finally did it! It was easy to create, too! Remember Mrs. Blush’s BM Newsletter dot com from Wix.com? Well, that’s where I got my inspiration! Check it out:

I only had one picture of all of us! Isn’t that crazy? I’m so happy I found it and I know the girls will be excited to see it! We’re all friends, but we don’t always all hang out. BM Ree lives in NY, FSIL Amber lives in MD, and the twin BMs are going to school and working.

We’re all really busy, and that’s why I decided to make this letter. Rather than relaying the same information five or six times to each of them, I thought it’d be helpful to have it all in one place and easy to reference. Of course, I added a lot of useless information in there about their ensemble, but there’s important information included, too!

I don’t always feel comfortable shooting emails over to my girls with wedding stuff, because I know they’re busy at work and/or shouldn’t be looking at the stuff at work! The two photos about of bridesmaids are a few of my all-time favorites, and I figured, what better time to share them than  in the newsletter!

My favorite page is the next one: “Pick Your Pink Shoes, Please,” because we really do need to find some shoes! We all agreed matching shoes will be adorable, but we need to find a pair! I think they’re going to be pleased with this selection.

Aren’t they cute? They’re not that expensive, either!

Since not all of them live close by, I decided to add a page with some ideas of ways they can get involved from afar. I know they want to help but sometimes don’t know how.

These are a few ideas on ways they can chip in if they’d like to!

I had a few more important slides, like the next one: “Upcoming Events.” I wanted to give them as much notice as possible about the bridal shower and start talks about the bachelorette party. It’s hard to get five or six girls to remember the same dates, so that’s why this page should be helpful!

There are a few other pages I didn’t include here like “Important Information,” and “I love you guys!” I really hope my friends like the newsletter. If not, at least I enjoyed creating it.

Did you create a newsletter for your BMs? What template or format did you use?

@pamplemousse: It honestly didn’t take that long at all! Wix is really, really easy to use! I might have put in about an hour everyday for a week (maybe less) and volia! It’s really only as much as you put into it! You should try it out!

This is an awesome idea! I wish I had done this for our wedding. It would have been especially helpful because our bridesmaids didn’t know each other well and some were out of town.
