How did you ask your bridesmaids/MOH(s) to be in your wedding? Looking for a creative way to ask. I have a few Pinterest ideas, but want to know what has worked for others. Thanks!

Covering tent poles
carley, on May 3, 2017 at 5:21 PM

Does anyone know how to cover tent poles without hiring a company to do it? What fabric would you use and how would you do it? Just wrap it around or what?

Cali, on May 1, 2017 at 4:49 PM

Hi! How is everyone addressing their envelopes? Are you getting them printed directly on the envelope, handwriting yourself, using labels?! I'm not sure what the best way is!

Mrs. DeNigris, on May 1, 2017 at 4:34 PM

Aisle runner alternative
Danielle, on April 27, 2017 at 7:43 PM
