Meet the 'maids

I couldn't be blessed with better friends. They are smart, sassy and GORGEOUS! They all came into my life at different times, and don't know each other very well. I thought it was really important for them to get acquainted sooner rather than later. Problem is, I live 6 hours away from 3 of them, and the other lives in England. Doesn't allow for a lot of opportunities for all of us to get together. I thought a little newsletter would be a good way to describe the wedding to them and "introduce" them to each other.

The first page included bridesmaids bios (with a story of how we met, their picture and email address), a list of important dates and locations, and guidelines for their dresses (they are choosing their own... more on that later).

The second page included the story of how I chose my dress (online), pictures of our location and favors, flowers, my engagement ring and a coupon for dinner with the bride.

I was hoping that you'd be able to read the articles from the pictures, but they turned out really small. If you're interested, I will post the text seperately. :)

I wish my amazing gal pals knew each other better, but I'm excited that I will be able to get them together during the planning process. I have also found myself using the wedding as an excuse to talk to them more, which is a huge bonus for me. I can't get enough of these girls!

Sure, they made lots of fun of me for the Wedding Party Gazette, but I think it was a good ice breaker (the reply all emails after they went out were hilarious, at my expense, but that's ok).

Do your bridesmaids already know each other well? Are they close geographically? If not, how did you introduce them?
