Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

Happy Tuesday!

I've been neglecting the Daily Days as of late and I am blaming it on the weather and the weather only! The FIN and I have been super busy with wedding plans and making arrangements for the next few months. We are going to get SCUBA certified at the end of this month and I am getting really excited. I will be sure to document the water training as best as possible. We are also scheduled to take dance lessons which I am SO excited about. I took dance for over 13 years and I am so so glad that the FIN is being a trooper and wanting to learn for the reception. We have TONS going on in the next few weeks and time is ticking away to June 25th.

After becoming engaged one of the first things that I crossed off of my list was asking my dearest friends to be Bridesmaids and share in our special day. All of the Bridesmaids are girls that I feel I have a close personal connection with and I have shared wonderful memories with each of them. To show them how much I care for each of them and how special they all are I sent each of them a "Will You Be My Bridesmaid" box.

The BM bag is really an organic lunch basket from Target. 
It was the perfect size for the items inside.

Personalized M&Ms in the color scheme of the wedding...

Yes, those are our faces on the M&Ms....
 Our initials and wedding date are also were screened on the candy!

I LOVE Lilly Pulitizer, and I thought a nice springy 
water bottle/coffee mug would be a nice addition to any collection!

I also included my flower girl, Anna Laura with the pre-wedding garb. Even though she is only four I wanted her to feel included.  I sent her the card below along with something more age appropriate. I would hate to give her chocolate and have running around like a wild child and she doesn't work out or drink coffee so I had to be creative!

Ms. Peony (wedding flowers that we chose) from Build-A-Bear...
Yes, I stuffed the bear and helped dress/name her...

This weekend we (my Aunt Juli and Aunt Brenda) were able to scout out a few places for the BM's Luncheon. I am so thrilled that we found a place and I am so excited for everyone to be together in a relaxed setting before the wedding. I can't believe how fast things are passing and soon MKH will be MHG. 

I hope everyone has had a great start to the week, and at least tomorrow is Wednesday!

Its halftime at the CATS are currently beating UT (Tennessee)!
GO CATS!
LOVE, MKH
