I used a program called Print Shop Deluxe, which is basically low-tech, super basic free software I have on my Mac. Not sure where it came from, but it does the job well enough. So first I looked for some ideas online, for what to include in the newsletter and what I wanted to make sure was included as well. I also wanted to introduce the girls to each other (even though they already know OF each other and most have met) and exchange email addresses to make bridal event planning easier. Of course, stalking Facebook and finding ridiculous (but cute) pictures of all my girls was a must! Then I just added sections on attire, hair & makeup, bouquet suggestions (because I want input from them), and then some important info - dates of various events and a plea for crafting help.
All in all, I think it came together pretty nicely. I am just sending these out now, so I will have to let you know the reception I get with them. I'm not planning on making this a monthly occurrence, but I guess I'll see if anything super important comes up in the next few months and go from there.
Have you sent out a bridesmaid newsletter to your girls? How was it received? Do you think it is too over-the-top bride?
I kind of wish I had done this! My BMs did not really get along and butted heads so much...I think this a great idea!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm going to do this!
ReplyDeleteI loooove that! Way to go Catherine! Another organized bride like me! YAY!
ReplyDeletePhew! Glad you girls like it... I was a little nervous. Happy to say, it's been very well received from my girls too!
