Ideas on how to ask your girls..

NMK1208 · May 2010

I'm trying to brainstorm a couple of creative ways to ask my friends to be bridesmaids in my wedding. Does anyone have any ideas? How did you ask your girls?

One idea I thought of was getting them each a ring pop and making a card telling why I want them to be part of our special day.

I called them or asked them in person. I just did it.

I didn't want to cheapen the honor with some cheesy gimmick.

If you want to do a card, do it. But talk about how special they are, not about yourself.

Some girls are writing letters or doing cards. That wasn't me, so I just asked them in person.

The honor is in BEING asked, not in how you're asked. In the coming months, the clever marketers of the wedding machine industry will try to convince you that everything about your wedding must be a big ole production. It doesn't.

Will your friends/family really be more thrilled to be asked by getting a cookie shaped like a dress than if you just call them up and ask? Nope.

One time, I was asked by a friend who sent a little (i.e. cheap, don't go all out on this!) BM bouquet in the mail with a sweet card asking me to be her BM. I absolutely loved it

At the store I work at, the photo counter processed an order for a bride who had 8x10 collages made with pictures of her and each of the girls, and it said "Will you be my bridesmaid/maid of honor" on it. It was really cute.

My BMs were my daughters and stepdaughter. The only one I had to 'ask' was my stepdaughter. I think the ring pop idea is cute, depending on if it fits you and your friends.

I presented each of them with a flower (either potted or just a bouquet) and a card. I didn't do them all at the same time, since I have a long engagement, I did it either around Christmas or their birthdays. Just depends on what came first and when I could see them. For the bridesmaids I don't ever see (none of mine are in the same state) I made phone calls.

Have fun with it. I don't think there is anything taken away from it when you do something that takes more time than a phone call. Asking them to be with you and stand next to you on the best day of your life, is special to them as well.

Have fun!!

Im taking my girl out for lunch tomorrow to ask her to be my MOH. I know shes expecting it but i feel its too important to do over the phone. my FI is doing the same with his BM

i asked and/or told them! i was too excited so the whole card thing didnt work for me. some of them i said,"so you're going to be my bridesmaid or what?!" but the ring pop idea is cute. do whatever YOU want

I wrote out cards to each person, and then got them a little bottle of their favorite liquor. We did a celebratory shot after they opened the card.

Two of the GMs were "ticked" that they didn't get any liquor when FI asked them.

All my BM's live out of state. I sent them flowers w/ a little note asking if they'd be my BM.
