I love the cards...they are so cute!

I would invite them all to a GTG and then tell them that you asked them all to be there bc you want them to be your BMs. I think I'm going to do something like that. You can hand the cards out at the party and ask them all at the same time!!!

I got this poem from an LIWedding bride. (I changed the workding a bit from the original) I printed it on a pretty 8 1/2 X 11 paper. (decorative paper)


You are my best friend; this is true.
But I want you to know you're my 'sister' too.
There for me when I needed you most
Opened your home to me, a gracious host.

We've shared some good times and sad ones too,
But your friendship always saw me through.
You've made me laugh when I wanted to cry
And held my hand when I could only sigh.

On the precious day I become Mike's wife,
I plan to be with him for the rest of my life,
But don't you dare worry, cry, or fret
He has not taken your place; that you can bet.

He will be my husband, but you are my best friend,
And that you will be until I leave this world.
So always know that I truly love you
And thank God for giving me a 'sister' that's true.


It's hard to believe
that in just a little while
Mike and I will be
walking down the aisle

Nothing would give me
more joy and pride
than to have you right there
by my side!

Will you be my bridesmaid?

Some others I found on the internet. while searching....



For My Flower Girl

You are so very young, but the years will pass by
and you'll too be a bride, in the blink of an eye.

While you may not remember, the day that I married,
the part that you played, or the basket you carried.

There will be a day, that will burn bright like an ember.
The day you will wed, you will always remember.

So here is a hankie, for the day you will say...
'I need 'something old' for my wedding day'

All My Love Sweetheart


Friendship,Love and Guidance

I realize just how special, you've always been
with friendship, love, and guidance, and a shoulder their to lend.

Not a mother or a sister, but a blending of the two,
plus a good friend in my life, when I've needed you.

Always knowing what to do, on any given day,
you'd listen with your heart, and know just what to say.

Soon I will be married, and I still look forward to,
the friendship, love, and guidance, that has always come from you.

I am so glad you are in my life.

To my Dear Sister,

I am so grateful for having such
a warm and caring sister. Through
the years you and I have created
many memories that only we share.

Through all of lifes ups and downs
you have always been there for me
and that has always given me strength.

It means so much to me that you are a part of
this very special time in my life as I marry. It is
the beginning of so many more wonderful
memories that only we will share as sisters.

With all my love,
Your sister




For My Big Sister on my wedding day

When we were little I always knew,
someday I'd grow up to be just like you.
You had a way of making me feel,
that all you did had special appeal.

The first to wear makeup, the first to the prom,
The first broken heart, the first to be strong.
I just couldn’t wait to catch up to you,
but the more I learned, the more that you knew.

To have a big sister is really a gift,
someone to lean on when you need a lift.
No longer little, but one thing is true,
I still want to be just like you.

With all my love,

Your little sister




To My Sister
You Are So Special

In life there are milestones each rare and so sweet,
sharing with loved ones makes them complete.

So having you near on my wedding day,
you'll add to the meaning in your special way.

I have looked forward and also looked back
so many times you have kept me on track.

Again and again you've come into view,
so today and forever I'm grateful for you.

You are a wonderful Sister




To My Sister
My Matron of Honor

I wish that I could tell you, exactly what it means,
to have a special sister, who has shared in all my dreams.

Now, on the day I marry, you will be the one to stand,
As my matron of honor, near me close at hand.

Of memories we've shared, this day just wouldn't be,
the one that I had dreamed of, without you next to me.

And though our lives keep changing, I will still look forward to,
all the many things we'll share, as only sisters do.

You are a wonderful Sister.

My BM Cards

I just asked one of my BM's.. I had these cards made and fine tuned them a bit!!!

I had asked all my 12 beautiful ladies personally, and then at my eparty, I gave made cards. Since there are 12, I wanted them to feel special. The inside of each read 'Stand By Me' and the reason I asked them to be a BM.
