Being the maid of honor is both an exciting as well as a terrifying experience.
I was selected the maid of honor by unanimous choice for my best friend’s wedding. I was initially thrilled when her mom called me to convey the message.
But after she listed my responsibilities, I was a little overwhelmed by them. I never knew that being a maid of carried so many responsibilities. But since I was in business school, I knew how to prioritize my work and so wrote down my schedule up to the day of the wedding.
First in the list was getting the wedding shower invitation cards ready. Since the wedding shower party came a few days before the wedding, I knew that the invitation cards for the occasion would have to be prepared and sent out first even before we started planning on other things like gifts, presents and flowers.
I knew that the Internet would be the best place to start searching for free invitations. I was very thankful that I learnt very early on to find all the great free resources on the Internet. In fact, I had created a long list of bookmarks of all my favorite sites. And my favorite site for free wedding shower invitations was 2n-invite.com. I had used this site for creating a number of invitations for Christmas and Thanksgiving. So I was familiar with the site. I knew it had a great variety of wedding shower invitations as well.
So all I had to do was make a list of all the sample invitations that I though would be appropriate for the wedding shower party. I then showed them to the bride to choose and let her decide the final sample. Then I printed these free wedding shower invitations on my home computer and that completed my first responsibility for the wedding.
