Gettin' yo 'maid mojo on!



The cute wrapping paper above (holding delightful pieces of snail mail for the Lambaids) was a piece of swag from the fanciest bat mitzvah one which I'd ever laid eyes. I helped my cousin's design firm by directing the guests to the custom Converse sneaker spray painters. I also helped hand out the swag bags that included sweatshirts, pins, t-shirts, and ball caps. I got this cool, heavy, and oh-so-customized wrapping paper. And if one of my Lambaids got the design that says, "Life with Lex" - hahahaha, yeah, that's the 13-year-old who got her bat mitzvah at the Ritz Carleton in DC.

Anymaid, inside the "Life with Lex" wrapping paper, there was a little something that related to coordinating bridesmaid dresses. I made a booklet with rules and guidelines for choosing their own dresses.

Now before you go saying, "Excuse me? How is choosing your own dress compatible with a booklet of rules and guidelines? You really are a bridezilla!", just consider that some of the Lambaids asked me for more structure. What you are about to witness is a book that gives both structure and freedom. Prepare to be awed.














If you let your 'maids choose their own dresses, how much structure and freedom did you give? Did you choose a few styles and then let them choose? Or did you just let them any dress they felt like (regardless of color, cut, etc.)?
