Guests of Honor

Instead of bridal parties, we are having Guests of Honor. So far, there are 26 honorable people. Their page on the wedsite is slowly but surely coming together. It's not easy compiling bios and photos for 26 people! The best part though, was when I got an email from my friend Kate with a photo of the pink version of the dress she wants to wear. That was really exciting.

Below, you can check out the email I sent to my guests of honor, explaining the particularities of this distinguished appointment. Part of me wishes I couldve designed some sweet, personalized card to ask them to be honorable guests. But who has time to do that?

Hello Friends (and Mom)!

I'm writing to tell you that you are guests of honor at the wedding.

What ever does this mean?

Essentially, you will be 1.) wearing purple, 2.) be seated somewheres special during the ceremony and 3.) taking pictures with me and Lauren. (Time and place, TBD.)

So:

1.) In terms of picking out something to wear please check out these pictures for a guide: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oVc5BrS5k-I/SIs8vM8dyRI/AAAAAAAAApY/_caDDrG7zJw/s1600-h/dressesmosaic2.JPG

As well as this post at Offbeat Bride. The pictures of the ladies in green are the best example of what I'm going for: http://offbeatbride.com/2008/09/non-matching-bridesmaid-dresses

Also, you will be accenting with the color brown. Not black.

2.) It also means that you will have a little bio and picture on the wedding website. Take a minute to check out what I have already written up about you and feel free to submit your own photo and bio. http://laurenanddesaray.com/page.php?groupingID=bridalparty&cp=1

When writing the bio and picking the pitcher, be more whimsical than professional, more love than achievement.

This concludes the portion where I ask things of you :)

I heart you all and can't wait to take pretty pictures together.

Signed
Desaray (and Lauren, whose people will be doing all the same things, but wearing blue.)
