Will you…

Asking your bridesmaids to be in your wedding should be a special moment for both of you, so brides should take care to make sure that moment is unforgettable. While traditional etiquette would require you ask your bridesmaids in person, with friends commonly being separated by thousands of miles today, it’s become more acceptable for brides to ask from a distance.
Whether you use an idea you find somewhere, or come up with your own, your bridesmaids won’t ever forget the effort and care you took to include them in your wedding. And you won’t regret it!
One creative option is to have small, individual cakes or cookies made specially for each of your bridesmaids. You can even personalize each cake with their initials. While the cake may be too yummy for your bridesmaid to preserve, she won’t forget how special this sweet treat made her feel!



A very personal option (although this one requires a bit of creativity) is to pen a poem about your friendship with the bridesmaid and end it by asking her to be your bridesmaid. If you have a creative streak (or know someone who does) and have a small bridal party, this idea will touch your bridesmaid’s hearts like nothing else could.

A small photo album (or digital photo frame) with a blank last page/slide with your wedding date is a way to ask your bridesmaids that they can keep on display forever. After the wedding, they can fill in the last page with a picture of themselves with the bride at the wedding.
You can have a mini bouquet, similar to what you’re planning on using at your wedding, delivered to your bridesmaids with a note asking them to carry a similar arrangement as a bridesmaid at your wedding. We all know that flowers (and chocolate, too) are a sure way to a woman’s heart, so you can bet that a mini bouquet will be a hit with all your bridesmaids!
The help of these closest friends you ask to be your bridesmaids will be priceless to you throughout the wedding planning process, so take plenty of care to select the perfect, memorable way to ask these special ladies.
