Poem to bride from bridesmaids

Ashleigh, on July 12, 2013 at 3:13 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 8

Ladies, hopefully you can help because I've scoured the internet and I've come up with zilch. I am in a wedding in Sept (my brother's wedding to my amazing soon to be SIL!) and we bridesmaids have come up with the idea of putting together a scrapbook for her. Since I was the one to initiate the idea I said I'd get the ball rolling, which was great until I hit a complete creative block. I'd like to have a "cover page" so when she opens the book there would be a really cute poem or message from the bridesmaids basically saying how excited we are she picked each one of us, how we can't wait for the wedding day and we know she'll look so beautiful...things of that nature. Unfortunately, nothing like this exists, at least not that I've been able to find. Does anyone have any ideas or know of anything I can at least use as a starting point and modify it as I see fit? I'm thisclose to stealing something off of a Hallmark card!!

    I remember when we were little

    All the things we used to do

    All the secrets we shared

    All the rough times we went through

    I look back and see how much you've been there

    With a little laught o cheer

    My burdens you helped me bare

    Now we're both grown

    Each into our own

    Versions of what we should be

    I hope you know

    I'm so proud of you

    And the person you strive to be

    Today's your big day

    We're not kids anymore

    It's the start of your life

    With the man you adore

    But don't forget

    That I'll always be here

    Your best friend

    I'll lend you an ear

    I'll always be here

    Just a phone call away

    To give you encouragment

    And Brighten your day

    Because the kind of friendship

    That we've grown

    Gives you comfort

    That you'll never be alone

    for my best friend on her wedding day...

    Not sure if that is what you are looking for but maybe use it to put it in your words and fit your situation better?

    I think that is a great and thoughtful idea! I made a scrapbook for my sister for her wedding and had all of her friends (working from the list she gave me for the bachelorette party) send in stories, letters to her, recipes, and pictures. Each one of them had a section... she loved it!

    Soo I'm SUPER bored at work at the moment so this gave me a great project! Smiley smile I came up with this...

    We are all so honored to be your maids

    And we are counting down the days

    Until you and _______ finally tie the knot

    We know you’ll look beautiful (and super hot!)

    We hope you enjoy this scrapbook

    Whenever you need a smile, just take a look!

    Something like that?

    Kelsie, that is PERFECT!! Especially since we're doing the same--each girl has their own page and in it we're including pictures with the bride, little quotes and recipes! Normally I can come up with this kind of stuff (cute little rhyming/poem-y things) but today wasn't my day apparently!

    Thank you Shawndra as well! I might print that out and put it in the closing of the book!!

    Thanks girls, this has been a BIG help! Smiley laugh

    When you were a girl, and full of bright dreams,

    you played in the sun; you shone in its beams.

    And one of the most magical games you would play,

    we would all call it, "My Wedding Day".

    With a sheet for a veil, and a slip for a gown,

    high heeled shoes on your feet, and a small plastic crown.

    Clutched in your hands, a yellow bouquet,

    dandelions were perfect for your special day.

    A groom would be nice, but he wasn't a must,

    since most of the boys were all covered in dust.

    You held your head up as you walked down the aisle,

    your crown now askew, your face wore a smile.

    The years have passed by, and with them it seems,

    a fantastical world based soley on dreams.

    No longer a girl, but with hope still inside,

    the child has grown and is now a real bride.

    The ladies you've chosen to honor today,

    are thankful and ready to now lead the way.

    We'll walk out before you, we'll hold our heads high,

    And don't be surprised if some of us cry.
