As soon as my FI popped the question I knew who my wedding party was going to be. I had already been pinning stuff on Pinterest[I love this site!] and had pinned a few ideas on how I could ask them when the time came.
I found one pin where they had made boxes like these. On the inside you glue a piece of paper, or write it if you have awesome handwriting. It says, "Now it's my turn to pop the question. Will you be my _____(MOH, BM, FG)?" The original post had ring pops in there, but I didn't like that idea after all my decorative paper stuck to them. So I went to Party City and bought a cute flower ring for my flower girl and some of the wedding favor "diamond" rings and used those instead.
I planned a dinner out with all the girls and then gave them their boxes, had them open them, and then read them this:
Will you be my BRIDESMAID? Will you hold my hand on my wedding day? Will you be my best friend, my sister, and my free counselor? Will you help me pick out the perfect dress? Will you dance the night away with me? Will you stop me from registering for appliances we know I'll never use, and bite your tongue when I register for china you know I'll never use? Will you wear your hair the way I want? Will you help me put together wedding decorations and more importantly tell me when I'm going overboard? Will you be on your best behavior at my shower(no naughty gifts in front of grandma!), smile endlessly for pictures, compliment our food, and make sure that the drama stays afar? Lastly, will you hold my dress for me when I pee?
I was teary eyed, as well as the girls and they were soooo happy with them and everyone said yes! I feel like I have such a great and supportive wedding party!
