Steal This...

Doh!  I totally forgot to share my story about how I asked my bridesmaids to be in our wedding party.  I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.  I actually believe I asked them pre-Southern Aisle so taking pictures for documentation didn't really cross my mind. Thank goodness for Katie Day!

So here goes - I wanted to do something unique and try to surprise them.  Since my birthday is on Valentine's Day, I am kind of notorious for sending my friends valentines of some sort.  I followed my usual February tradition so they wouldn't be super suspicious about their arriving mail.  Only this time it wasn't a valentine.  I picked up a batch of pretty satin hangers (from Bed Bath & Beyond) and attached a little note to each one.  It read "For your bridesmaid dress..."  I wrapped each one up all pretty and mailed them off and waited for the shriek-y phone calls to roll in.
Their dresses - hangers and all - on wedding day.  The satin hangers looked so much better than plastic or wire ones.  Go ahead - steal this!  I give you my permission.
