    Keep reading through the pages on this board.  There are multiple posts about this and they have some ideas you might like.

    Personally I will just call each girl up and ask them.

    I like just asking them face to face (individually, not in a group). I like seeing their facial expressions and reactions when asked, which you miss out on with the cards or what not sent through the mail.

    Take them out to lunch or something and ask. It doesn't need to be a big deal at all, the honor is being asked- not how you ask :-)

    Call them up and ask them.  Go out for a cup of coffee and ask them.

    The wedding industry would have you believe that everything, EVERY SINGLE THING, about your wedding must be creative, unique, clever, memorable, one-of-a-kind, and special, or your  wedding won't be a success.  And that's just not true.

    The wedding industry will also, between today and the day you return from your honeymoon, try to convince you to spend money on "stuff" you don't need to, and that won't make all that much of a difference.

    And this is one of them.  Not everything has to be a big old production.  Wedding TV shows, magazines, and websites that promote such ideas are in it to make money.  And that means buying stuff from their vendors.

    Will your friends/family really feel more special if they get a card with a cutesy poem on it, or a cookie shaped like a BM dress?  Probably not.

    Call up your friends and ask them.  And then enjoy the "squeee" of excitement as they agree!  Good luck, and happy planning.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    My FSIL have been texting and emailing each other a whole bunch about wedding stuff since (and before) she and my brother got engaged - including styles of dresses my sister and I like,

    Then a week or 2 ago we saw each other in person and she was like "I never actually asked you to be a bridesmaid - would you?" LOL.  I burst out laughing. 

    Any which way is fun - I asked my siblings and friends in person to see the silly grin of excitement.
