How I Asked--The Littles Edition

Junior Bridesmaid Gifts

Asking those most important to you to be involved in your wedding is a very special time. I especially wanted to make an effort to show the littles in my life how special they are to me, and be sure they felt like this is a big deal for me and for them.

Kim and her children were my family last year during a very difficult time in my life. They made sure I was well taken care of and loved on when I was living alone for the first time. I knew I wanted them involved in a big way in my big day from the get-go, and planning a lunch date for a Sunday after a visit with the grands seemed like the best opportunity to ask them to be a part. For the little girls, I gave them matching single pearl necklaces that they can wear at the wedding, and maybe someday at their own {as a something old}. For the boys, they both got their bow ties for their service as ring bearer and usher {Tyler was unavailable for lunch, but I hear he is very excited!}.
