Bridesmaid Dress Shopping Invites

I want to take all the bridesmaids, if possible, on a shopping trip to Sacramento to find bridesmaid dresses once and for all. I also don't want anyone to complain that the dress is ugly, unsuitable for them, not the color they wanted (oh well about that one though) and etc.
So after talking to a few people, I found a good date to go. I don't know if my cousin will be able to go because of the baby .. but we'll see. I think if I give everyone ample notice (a months notice), they can request the day off work and make arrangements to be there.

We are going February 2nd... even if its just me and Maya..

Here are the invites I just mailed to everyone:

In case anyone is wondering - I got this paper at Walmart today for 1.50!! for 20 sheets. Can you believe it?

This is the actual invite with the date, time, where to meet - I blurred out addresses because its not my address anyway


I also included for people's own reference - the list of the shops with addresses, hours and phone numbers. I also made a rough itinerary, and included a few bits of advice.. Like to wear comfy clothes that they can easily change in and out of and to bring a camera if they wanted.

I also asked anyone that couldn't go to send me some measurements to be sure the dress comes in their size, because some dresses run weird and i don't want to get a dress to find out that even though they go to size 24, size 24 is equal to a size 6. Okay it won't be that bad, but I've seen some that due to some measurements - like big boobs or tummys, they need 6 or 7 sizes bigger than normal. Another bridesmaid and I needed a dress 6 sizes up for my sisters wedding. Which we didn't know until we went to order it.

Yeah, so I think they came out nice. :)

I also included maps to my my maid of honors house that we are meeting at, personalized from yahoo maps from their actual address.

So yay.. One thing down. :)
