Bride in the house, Bride in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, my phone is ringing, and it's Fred, Debi's fiance, asking if I called him. Since I'm just getting awake, I'm thinking, huh? Then I see Debi, walking back the hall, to my office, to print mailing labels and I told Fred, 'Oh, Debi's here!' She's full of energy and determination today!!! The last message in a bottle invitations MUST GO OUT TODAY!!!!!!!! She needs to scoot back to Fred's to get some of his Groomsmen addresses, then she plans to return and put the labels on the bottles, and take them to the PO. Sooooooooo, we're finally getting this show on the road!!!!!!!! She wants me to go with, to the PO; Mine is not to wonder why, just comply! Fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Mary

PS The bottle invitations are to formally invite the wedding party members, to be in the wedding; Info is in the bottle on their wedding responsibilities and costs.

How exciting Mary......let the fun begin

How cute ....what a great idea. I see that your wedding is at Chateau ....that is where my husband's daughter got married 7/06! If was really very nice. If I ever learn how to post I will send you some pix of their Chateau wedding.

Hi Chris!!
One parchment sheet, about 5x7, has a 'formal' invitation to be in the wedding, while the other parchment sheet tells what the responsibilities of the BM, Groomsmen, etc. are; In addition, Debi included details about the BM and Groomsmen outfits, including approximate costs. The costs for the BM include costs of hair, makeup, shoes, etc. I'll try to post samples in my album. Mary

Sorry, tried twice to upload samples; Didn't work.

Thought I would share some of the sample info; It was done in aqua ink, with an aqua seashell at the top of the page.
Example of BM invitation:

We've been friends through the years
Sharing laughter joy, and tears
Now please respond and don't delay
Say you'll share our special day !

Fred and Debi are tying the knot !

We would be honored if you would stand with us
As we pledge our undying love to one another
Overlooking the waters of the Great South Bay

Will you be my Bridesmaid?

Come join in the fun at our

Example of second sheet:

The Bridesmaid Dresses should be ordered by the end of December, so we are hoping to pick tuxes around the same time.
