I invited my bridesmaids to a Tea at the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, September 15, 2007. We had finger sandwiches, tea, and miniature desserts followed by a fashion show featuring bridal gowns from the 1700s to the early 1900s as well as a fashion show featuring modern gowns with a vintage look. I gave each maid a special message in a bottle invitation to be in the bridal party with sand and shells.
