Help writing a letter to my bridesmaids?

Question

I am sending a "save the date" reminder to my bridesmaids informing them of the amount of $ they will need for their deposit, and the date we all agreed to meet for the sizing of their gowns.
I'm not sure how to word it or what to write. I want to sound up beat and cheerful. However every time I write it- it comes off corny or TOO perky. Help please. The date is April 18th- Saturday.

Answer 1

First of all, my bridesmaids also have to make a deposit, for me it was $700, which covers their dresses ($500) and some spa treatments-totaling $400 EACH but we cover some of it.



Here is what I would do:

Hey my beautiful bridesmaids! It's ____________ (your name)

the bride-to-be!

I just wanted to drop a little reminder about your deposits coming up on April 18th.

The deposits are _______ (deposits)

On April 18th I'll meet you guys at I do Bridal in _____ (full name of mall)

Thanks Guys!



OR



Hey bridesmaids, it's __________ (your name)

and I just wanted to remind you guys that your deposits are due on April 18th, so keep that it mind.

That day I will meet you guys at "I do Bride" at ____ (name of mall)

Love,

______ (your name)

Letters To Bridesmaids

Answer 3

Are you all finished with your alterations? If you still have any fittings left I would say something now. You are paying very good money for their services - and so are your bridesmaids. You don't need to be rude, but just tell them that the past few times you were in their you felt uncomfortable and were being rushed out the shop. Sometimes it really helps to speak up - especially if you are not happy with the alterations. They need to be done properly - I would say something; or have one of your bridesmaids say something. If you don't want to or don't feel comfortable saying anything then you can write a letter after the wedding - I just feel like saying something before the wedding would be more effective; and it would give them a chance to make up for their bad service. It's unfortunate, but it does happen. You can also try going to wedding websites and writing a review about this vendor; this way you can give future brides a little warning about the type of service they will be receiving.

Answer 4

"I have set up the date for dress sizing. I need everyone to be there!



March 14th we will be meeting in the back of the ------- park-n-shop parking lot at ---- am.



From here we will carpool to Demetrios in St. Louis.



Our appointment is at ----am.

After the fittings I've made a reservation at an amazing little Italian Restaurant across the street That is muy affordable!!!



I figure we will make it home by 5-ish!



Now as far as payments go.

I recommend that everyone make at least half of the payment on the 14th

when you get fitted- however, if you can't afford it then, the ENTIRE balance is due by April 17th.



The dresses can't be ordered until they are paid for in full.



If the dresses aren't ordered by April 17th, THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT IN TIME FOR THE WEDDING!!



Several dresses have samples available in store if you are interested in trying them on, however not all dresses are available and there is only one size in each.



I have sent an individual message to everyone letting them know the exact amount of their balance- some have made payments already.



Please Call me Immediately with any questions or concerns!



This is the nitty gritty ladies- everything from this point on is necessary and important."



I sent this email to my ladies about a week ago along with a second email for each ladies balance- everyone responded promptly and kindly- hope this helps.
