I joked with my friend about being a less than stellar bridesmaid numerous times leading up to her wedding. Especially the day of, as I had to figure out things like where exactly to put a flower on my head or help to make sure the many layers of her wedding dress were perfectly in place. Towards the end of the night she asked me to be in charge of collecting up the anniversary cards she had for guests to sign at each table and mentioned she would love to figure out some cute way to package them up.
I tucked a photo or two from their wedding day into each card, gave them each a label, and they all went to a sewn pouch this afternoon. It has a little felt band to keep it closed while waiting for them to open a card each March 4th for twelve years...
So maybe I am not the ideal girly-girl bridesmaid, but at least I can make up for it with a little craftiness.
