I received this in the mail the other day. It is a cookie that says, “Will You Be My Maid of Honor?” I thought it was such a cute way for my sister Kelli to ask me to be in her wedding. She sent one to all the girls in the wedding party. I had no idea I was getting one. At first I thought she sent me the wrong one. I figured I was just going to be a bridesmaid; not that being a bridesmaid would be a bad thing. I really feel honored. Kelli and I have never really been close. I was once engaged and he was my everything. My whole family came second to him, including my sister. We are no longer together, and it is weird how I am more excited about my sister’s wedding than I was my own. Kelli and I are closer now than we ever were before and I felt emotional when I received that cookie in the mail. Of course, the guys don’t understand; most of them think it is stupid. “Why would Kelli send you a cookie?” my dad asked. I told him it wasn’t about the cookie, but what it said. I am really happy for her and I am honored to be by her side the whole way. She ordered them from Weddingish.com if anyone is interested. I'm pretty sure they have tuxedo ones for the guys

That cookie is such a cute idea. I'm happy for you that the two of you are closer. Family is so important! And Maid of Honor is a special honor. Is she older than you? I cannot speak from experience. I have no siblings. I observed other families though. Often the older children take care of the younger ones. I noticed older children take on a "mother hen" role. Maybe she was waiting for you to be ready for the change in relationship. Whatever, it is Great!
That is a good idea. I absolutely love cookie cakes but have never received one in the mail.
I think it is so special that your sister asked you to be her maid of honor! I hope my daughters are close friends when they get older. When I got married I made the mistake of having my wedding party consist of my "friends of the moment." I am not even close to these girls anymore and it makes me sad about the choices I made. Anyway, my sister is 15 years older than me so by the time I got married she thought she was too old to be a bridesmaid. (???...didn't know there was an age limit!) I know your sister's wedding will be a fun and exciting experience for all of you!
I agree, it's a great idea! Beats more paper in the mail.
