Friend's Bridal Shower...
I've never been a bridesmaid before but I've been a bride twice. No, I'm not divorced but I married my loving husband twice. The saying "... always a bridesmaid, never a bride..." is totally my opposite. I was part of my brother's wedding entourage but I was one of the secondary sponsors.
Finally, one of my closest friends asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. I am soooo excited and the small favors she has asked me to do, I do it in a snap. Last week, I picked up the bridesmaid's dresses and shoes. This week, I got her veil and believe it or not, I did it within 30mins to 1hr after I received her email.
She's getting married in June and we're now at the planning stage of doing bridal showers, bachelorette parties, get together for dress fittings, etc. Honestly, I don't know the difference between a bridal shower and bachelorette party and thought it was pretty much the same. We're (her bridesmaids) are organizing a bridal shower for her. I'm in charge of the invitations so to make work easier for me, I decided to go to Target and buy pre-made cards. I can confidently say I am crafty and I'd be more than happy to make the invitations but I'm not sure if I'll have time between watching 2 kids and piling up clutter in our office.
I finished everything last week and I was so proud to tell one of the organizers I'm done. The problem is, instead of buying a "bridal shower" invitation, I decided to buy the “bachelorette party" ones because that was the most they had that were uniform. I should have looked first in other stores but I wanted to do it now. In fact, I wanted to do it yesterday! I printed and addressed everything. Luckily, I didn't put the stamps yet although I bought wedding stamps already too!
Today, after taking the kids to the park, I went to the craft store to buy materials and I'm making everything from scratch. I should’ve followed my instincts from the beginning. It's getting late. I'm tired but since I started making the invitations, I can't stop now. Her shower is on April 14 which is less than a month from now so I better send out the invitations soon. I am very excited for her.
