The Story Behind the Bridesmaid Robe.

A wedding day is one of the most important days in a women’s life. They are coming together to marry the person that they love. The people that are their for the brides are there amazing friends, and bridesmaids. You would do anything to thank these girls, and show them how much they mean to you.

When my cousin was planning her wedding, she really wanted to give her bridesmaids things that would help them remember the wedding day. This gift was also for her to say thank you to them for all that they have done for her. So what did we do, we hit the Internet. We wanted something that they could use on the wedding day, and be able to have a special photograph in.

We found these beautiful robes, with the bridesmaids name on it and the wedding date.  These beautiful robes cost $85 dollars each. My cousin had 10 girls in her bridal party. So these amazing robes would cost her $850. Now that doesn’t seem like a lot, but when you are planning a wedding you want to save as much money as possible in anyway possible. To save some money we decided to make these robes ourselves.  We went to target and we found these beautiful coral thin robes; we paid around $70 for all 10 robes. Then we made our way to Wal-Mart and we bought our sleeves iron on sparkly letter, which cost us $15.  We went home and placed the letters onto the robes where we wanted to have them. We decided to write the words “Bridesmaid” and “Maid on Honor” a long the back. After deciding on where we wanted to have them, we took the iron to the robes. After ironing on the letters we wrapped the robes up and gave them to the bridesmaids. These robes cost us a total of $85. That was the equivalent to buying one of the custom robes online.  

Moral of the story is that if you try hard enough, you can save money buy doing things yourself!
