Will you be my MOH?

RachA03

I really want to ask my best friend to be my maid of honor in a memorable way, especially since I've sort have mentioned it already.  I've read of a couple of ways on the internet, but does anyone out there have any other ideas? I'm a little stumped...and on a budget :PThanks!

What does she like? Send her flowers, candy or wine; make her a card or scrapbook; take her bowling or to a movie or out for coffee/drinks.

I've thought of those ideas...just wondering if anyone else has something different. I'm aiming towards the scrapbook + card + brunch.Thanks for replying!

Oh sorry! haha I guess I was assuming people have "googled" ideas too! But your second point - about the honor is being asked and not HOW you're asked, definitely gave me perspective. You are very right...thanks so much!

I just made both of mine cards on Shutterfly with photos of us throughout the years.  It said something like "Since you have been by my side for all these years, I'd love to have you by my side on the day of my wedding as my MOH" or something like that.

I did something similar to what the PP did! I bought super cheap (but cute) photo books & put pictures of us throughout the years and wrote my own little "poem" to go alone with it! Each one was personalized based on my relationship with that person...and then on the last page it said "Will you be my Maid of Honor" etc. I had planned on mailing them, but it worked out that I was going to see all of my bridesmaids within a few weeks of when I made them, so I got to see their reactions in person! Plus now they have a little photo album of us! HTH!

i did this in my wedding colors... http://eliseblaha.typepad.com/golden/2009/03/envelope-pocket-love.html it was really inexpensive and everyone loved it because it was so unique and memorable.

Honestly the most memorable way is in person. Anything else is less memorable for her and more busywork for you.

I can't open the link you sent! but you guys are wonderful for all the advice and ideas!!!! I think I have a plan now...thanks to you guys!  And I think you're all right when you say to do it in person!  I appreciate it..and keep the ideas coming in case I change my mind on my plan I am thinking of popping the question next Wednesday or over the weekend!

I am planning to do something similar to Kati0105 - my WP will be girls I have been friends with for a long time (about 15 years). I wanted to find some old pictures from the early days and then pair them with a recent photo and say something about being there all the other important times in my life and will they be there with me on my wedding day. I remember the phone call I got when my cousin asked me to be in her wedding and I remember the day my friend pulled me aside and asked me in person to be in her wedding as well. Neither of them did anything other than simply ask (no cards, no special outings, etc) and it was still just as memorable as if they had made me something or done anything extra. Yes, the honor is definately in being asked!  BUT if you wanna do something extra special, by all means! I thought cards might be nice to give my girls a tangible momento of the occasion. (Several of them are into scrapbooking / memory box type stuff and saving sentimental stuff).

I had a local bakery make cookies in the shape of dresses with my colors.  With it there was a little card that said "will you be my Maid of Honor" or "will you be my bridesmaid"  I wrapped them in pretty boxes with tissue and a big bow.  It was about $8-10 per girl.  They all loved them!
