asking the bridal party


I had been dreaming up creative ideas of how to ask my beloved bridal party to participate in our wedding.  They are such honored friends and I wanted them to feel just as special as they are.

I started with drawing the wedding party in silly, signature stick figure form with which my friends are quite familiar as these types of little characters show up on almost every letter, card, or gift that comes from me.

Once the print was ready, I tried to figure out just how I would "frame" it.  So!  I purchased some children's books from Target and went to work cutting out the center pages, leaving only the thick covers.  From there, I covered them with vintage fabric that I had purchased from an Etsy shop several years ago.


Using photo corners, I was able to attach the print to the inside cover and personalize each one with a paper arrow that pointed to each individual's stick figure caricature with the question, "Will you be my Maid of Honor/Bridesmaid/Bridesman?"

And here is the end result:  a little self-standing print book!
