If your a funny Bride.. you will love this..
So I found a really clever way of formally asking my BM's to my Bridal Party.. instead of being sentimental I'm going to do this and I've actually altered it to be more personal/funny.. and I'm even going to present it in a Manilla envelope like a real contract...haha
Bridesmaid Contract
My promises to you:
1) I will not assume that you are throwing a bridal shower. As a bridesmaid, your ONLY true obligation is to stand up there with FH and myself!
2) I will not expect you to attend every shower or event that occurs, and if you are able to come, I will enjoy your presence as the best gift you could give me.
3) I will not request fake nails or manicures. I will not request identical hair-dos. I will not request special, matching make-up. You’re grown women who know what kind of nails, hair and make-up, if any, make you look and feel best. I absolutely will not dictate or prohibit changes to your appearance (such as hair color, tans or lack thereof, etc.)!
4) I apologize in advance for matching dresses, and will try to get everyone’s input so everyone can feel comfortable and attractive – and I promise it won’t look like the picture on the front of this card! I will not stuff everyone into hot pink sausage casings, or dresses with fluffy bows, or ostrich feather, and I will not make busty women wear spaghetti straps.
5) My bachelorette party will not involve you making anything shaped like genitalia or a guy named Tony coming to 'put out the fire'. I will not make you wear tank tops emblazoned with “Bridesmaid” in hot pink across the chest.
6) I will not delegate a million weird jobs to you, and I will be grateful for everything you do. I will recognize that every moment you spend on anything wedding-related is a gift in and of itself – one that deserves profuse written thanks.
7) I will make every attempt to keep things inexpensive for everyone, and to treat your time and energy with all the respect it deserves!
Your promises to me:
1) If I become one of those scary brides who can’t talk about anything other than the wedding, you will hit me in the head with a brick.
2) If I start obsessing over stupid things that no one else will notice, like whether the flowers will match the napkins and the bridemaids’ undergarments you will hit me in the head with a brick.
3) If I otherwise fail to keep my sense of proportion and/or my sense of humor about all things wedding-related, you will hit me in the head with a brick.
4) If you are forced to hit me in the head with a brick for any of the aforementioned reasons, I will not get upset or defensive in return!
5) You will attend the ceremony rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and have at least a vague idea of the wedding day timeline (which don’t worry-will be provided to you in advance).
6) You will be available on the day of the wedding to help me get dressed, pose for pictures, tell me if my make-up is fading, support me in my first flower tossing, garter grabbing and all other wedding related traditions that will be taking place. Just generally be available to help with stuff, if needed…I'm sorry I can't be more specific at this point, but I will keep you posted about what we're doing and what we'll need help with (oh and definitely bathroom breaks.. oh what a lucky lady that will be!)
7) Most importantly, you will let me know right away if you become uncomfortable with anything, at any time, regarding any aspect of this whole deal. If you feel I am asking for too much, if you feel neglected by not being asked to do enough, if expenses seem to be becoming prohibitive – anything at all. The absolute last thing I want is for you to feel put upon or resentful. All I truly want is your friendship and support and you all to stand by FH and me on this very special day in our lives!
