Okay ladies, I love all of the LIW Girls, but I thought it was time that we have a thread dedicated to African American Brides, so that we could discuss wedding and non-wedding related issues that are significant and or relate to women of color. So to start the thread off, could everyone introduce themselves? I am Landra...

You can give them whatever you want - If you do searched online there are so many different ideas - but you know your bridal party to know what they would like
My BM's - DOJ, little jewelry box, candles, and little things to fill up the bag (lotions etc...) GM- Personalized pen and cufflinks FG - Toys and jewelry RB - He love swords so we are getting him one with this name on it

I wanted to - however I had to pick and choose for budget reasons and that had to be eliminated and then we didnt know what to do with it after the wedding

thats a good point...i have been thinking that way since we started planning the wedding. Everytime FH and I were thinking about adding something to the wedding, we were asking ourselved 'but can we use this after August 25th?'
I just know the personalize aisle runner will be soooo cute...

me too. I figure after the wedding I can cut out the monogram and quote so that I can frame them both in shadow boxes with other wedding stuff.
(really i'm not this crafty but this wedding business makes you become all Martha Stewart like...LOL)

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***
i'd say just open up microsoft publisher and start playing around. u may need to download some new ofonts dependng on what fonts u have on u'r computer.. also u can do a search on wedding monograms and see what styles are out there and then try to copy. check my album for the 3 i worked on today.. i like them.. but i know none of them are 'it'
