    I had fortune cookies made that said "will you be my bridesmaid" inside as the fortune, then I put them inlittle Chinese Take Out boxes.

    I bought feather dusters and wrapped them with dishwashing gloves to make them look like a bouquet. I then made a card that said:
    TOP FIVE REASONS YOU WOULD MAKE A GREAT MAID!
    Each card had a different reason (some funny, some sentimental).  It was really inexpensive and the girls loved it!
    I have the template, PM me if you want it.

    I also made hand made cards..eah one different. I also wrote a letter to each of them telling them why they are impartant to me and why i want them to be my bridesmaid.  i am a very emotional person so i would not have been able to get the words out without crying.  this made it more special for me and for them.  my maids that live close I dropped the notes off and for the ones that live out of state i mailed them.  i still called them too to ask them.

    I bought cookies made in the shape of bridesmaid dresses, made a card and put it in a box i bought from TJ Maxx for my girls.

    I took my maid of honor to PF Changs for dinner.  I bought a Chinese take out box and added some fortune cookies with strips of paper that said Will you be my maid of honor.  I bought the fortune cookies at Jewel and added the strips of paper to them.  I had 4 fortune cookies so no matter which one she grabbed she would get the message.  I had the waiter deliver it to the table when I left the table to go to the "bathroom".  My sister didn't see it coming so that made it all more fun!

    I gave my bridesmaids inexpensive ($29!) soiree bracelets from Stella & Dot that could be worn on the big day.

    They arrived gift wrapped (at no charge) and I simply attached a cute card with a cityscape shot of Chicago, where we live and our wedding was held), asking, "I would be honored if you would be my bridemaid!"

    Check out the bracelets here and be sure to order through my stylist...she's great! :)

    my fiance does graphics and photoshop as a living, so he photoshopped each of their faces into a 1980's HIDEOUS pic I found of a bride and her bridesmaids' in really ugly 80 dresses, even the hair. I printed the pics out onto a card and asked them to be my bm inside of a poem. It was hilarious. I mailed it to them and they all died of laughter when they saw it cuz it looked so real. I found the fake pic on google images.
