They Really mean alot to me...So here's what I did!
I don't know if you will remember but at one point there was a thread started about how to ask your BM and MOH to be in your wedding party, and Heather posted a poem her friend gave to her asking...
I used it and made home-made cards for both my girls, I also took pictures!
Here is the poem incase you can't read it!
You welcomed me with open arms
When I was strange and new.
A smile so warm and so sincere,
Caring, trusting and true.
A friendship would blossom
With each passing day.
Growing stronger and brighter
In many a way.
Engaged am I now
To be married at last.
And for you, Alyssa, I have
A special question to ask.
When Fall 2007 is here
And I will be a blushing bride.
Would you do me the great honor
Of being on my side?
FOR AMBER
FOR ALYSSA

I did too! I felt like an idiot later; I actually asked my maid of honor while she, my DH, and another friend (who was one of DH's groomsmen) were moving furniture, about to build IKEA bookcases!  I was like, oh yeah, that was meaningful and well done.

Very nice. I'm sure they all appreciated them. And it's nice that you handwrote them. I think that means a lot more.

That's so sweet. I agree that it's extra special since you handwrote each of them. It really makes it more personal

Good job!
On a funny side note, I wasn't even technically asked to be in the wedding coming up in July...she was like, "oh, you're one of the BMs." Hehe, but that's just her.
