On Saturday we mailed a little package to a sweet little lady asked her to be our flower girl! You may have remembered reading my blog from Labor Day weekend where we spent the weekend with our friends who were up from the south. After that weekend Jack and I knew that Gracelyn would be the perfect flower girl. She is sweet + sassy and just the little diva to make the day complete. I first asked permission form her parents if Gracelyn could be our flower girl. We were ecstatic when they said yes!
I wanted something that I could easily mail to her because I knew I wasn't going to see her. I originally searched and search to try and find the Shopkinz Roxy Ring. When they were here visiting Gracelyn mentioned how she really wanted that one, but it is a limited edition. I couldn't find it anywhere except eBay and it was an astronomically high price. So I moved on from that idea. I loved the idea of sending her a book, but the one I was originally going to go with I thought may have been a little too young for her, she is 7 years old. I found this book through a fellow blogger, Meg over at Borrowed Heaven.

| 10 Neat Things About Being a Flower Girl |
I wrapped it in some fancy paper and tied with a bow. For those of you who ever received a gift from me it more than likely had a ribbon on it. I got a pink flower to go with it and hand wrote a note to her.
I got this sweet picture from her mom. I think her smile says it all! We are so excited that she will be be a part of our special day! :)
Did you have a flower girl? How did you ask?
We will also be having a ring bearer, Jack's God son who will be just over two on our wedding day. I have a special gift for him too, but just haven't gotten it to him just yet! Stay tuned for that :)

You are so sweet, thoughtful, and always have the cutest ideas! Looks like you made a little girl's day. :)
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Linley!
DeleteThis is AMAZING! What a cute and original way to ask! I wish I could've have done something cute like this but because our flowergirls are his cousins he was so excited and asked them when we were all together on a family trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! That is so nice that you got to asked them in person with all of your family! So special :) I wish I could have been there to see her reaction. She is just the sweetest!
DeleteSo cute! We still haven't decided if we are even having a flower girl yet (or if we're having children at the wedding at all!) but I love this idea of asking :) - Svetlana @Life With a Side of Wine
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely a tough decision to decide if you will have children at your wedding! My sister did not have children and she had a lot of people upset by that because her wedding was in Maine and most of her family + friends had to travel a few hours to get there, making it difficult to not bring their children. BUT for the most part it didn't stop anyone from coming! Also, having children really makes # of people coming to the wedding go up! Just somethings to think about :)
DeleteWe are having children but we are asking that they are 10+ so there aren't a bazillion littles running around.
How cute!!! I'm excited for my daughter to be a flower girl =)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Aww how special :)
DeleteThis is adorable!! What a sweet and thoughtful way to ask :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :):)
