STD Magnets and cards
Ceremony Programs
Votive Placecards (candles with velum for names and table number)
Table Cards
Ceramic Initials for Cake table (sort of DIY - we are going to paint them)

the photo card box is a great idea. I was thinking of what to do for the card box the other day ( I don't know why I was thinking of that!)

Sorry! A bridesmaid newsletter is to keep BMs updated -- especially ones who are oot. I read about them on www.ultimatewedding.com. Mine will include these pages:
Thank you to BMs
Contact info - names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for all of the BMs and MOH
Shoe/Dress Information (what designer, color, and shop)- Groomsmen Info (names and contact)
Registry Information to Pass Along to Guests
Wedding Weekend Itinerary (hotels, appointments, schedules - all tentative...just to give them an idea of what we will be doing that weekend)


Here are some links that I found:
What is a Bridesmaid Newsletter?

Example of a BM Newsletter

(you may have to register to read the last one)
Hope that helps!
