Asking friends to be your Bridesmaids...I need suggestions!

I finally figured out who I want for bridesmaids and I need suggestion on how to ask them. Any creative suggestions?

My sister sent a little wooden box she painted and put my initial on.  On the inside it said Will you be my BMaid?  And it contained a bunch of wedding info- the other bridesmaids info, the possible dress choices, color palatte, etc.  

I made ombre cupcakes in a mason jar in my wedding color of purple with a sticker on top that said "Let them eat cake" and a napkin that I transfered "Will you be my bridesmaid/maid of honor?".  I tied the napkin with a spoon around the jar and wrote a personal card that had the reasons why I wanted them part of my day.I got the idea from here: http://www.marrythis.com/diy-projects/diy-be-my-bridesmaid-ombre-cupcakes-in-a-jar/

i sent each girl a cookie that said "will you be my bridesmaid?" on it. They absolutely LOVED them! I also sent a special one to my MOH and to my flower girls. Several websites can send them for you like flourpot, etsy, etc. just google "Bridesmaid cookies." good luck!

I called them on New Year's Eve (I'm boring, but it was right before midnight!) but I saw on pinterest this cute idea with ring pops. You can put the ring pops in a little box (dollar store!?) and put "I've been asked and now it's my turn"... it was so cute!

I found a vendor on etsy that makes chocolate letters and personalizes boxes of chocolates. So I had individual letters in the tray that goes in the chocolate box to spell out "will u b my bridesmaid?." The chocolate tasted awesome and the letters looked really nice, milk chocolate letters on little white chocolate squares. I can email you a pic if you want!

I have eight bridesmaids and I made paper dolls for each of them. Eight dolls holding hands wearing a blush pink bridesmaid gown all with their own individual hairstyles.

8x8=64 dolls..

Note: this is a time-consuming project!! Must be patient!! They loved it! I also created homemade cards asking "Will You Be My Bridesmaid?" and things such as "Your duties: Smile, look beautiful, keep bride sane," etc..
