  What do you and your sisters enjoy doing?  Like if you all love going to the spa, take them to get their nails done or something and ask them then.  Or just take them out for lunch, ice cream, drinks, etc.

  The book is a very cute idea, I like that

  Please don't do the books--it'll be a waste of money for you.  Do something natural, which usually means just asking.  I tend to think it's a sign if you can't think of your own cutesy idea, you probably shouldn't do one.

  Think of something they like to do, and go with that. Bowling, amusement park, poker game, whatever.
  
  Asking them over lunch is just fine, though. I'd personally enjoy that so much more than being handed a sappy card or book that I'm expected to cry and squeal over (when I'm probably going to just take it home and throw it in a storage bin, where I'll just throw it out during a cleaning binge two years later).
  
  Whatever they'd enjoy is fine. Just asking them flat-out is also fine.

  Lunch with your sisters is boring?  If so, maybe they aren't the right choice for MOH?

  
  

  Just ask them.  Making a production out of it takes the special out of the asking.  The honor is being asked, now how you ask.

  I'm on the side of calling them up and asking.  It's the first step in realizing that everything about your wedding doesn't have to be cutesy or a production. 
  
  Will your sister really be more excited by getting a book or a dress shaped cookie than if you call her and ask her, or go out for coffee and ask?
  
  I wouldn't.

  Take her skydiving.
  
  Though personally, I'd probably prefer the lunch.

  Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

  I did a twist on the "will you be my bm?" cards.  Since I didn't want to choose a MH, I gave all six BMs a unique title like "President of Bridal Affairs" or "Secretary of the Complaint Department" and wrote a funny letter, spoofing a professional business letter from the "Ivory Office" describing their duties should they choose to accept.  I mailed the letters out just b/c I personally like to get fun stuff in the mail and that way they were kind of a surprise. 

  
  

  Everyone seemed to have fun with the idea and are still playing around with it!
