Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
I made "will you by my bridesmaid, maid of honor & flowergirl" cards....Everyone thought they were adorable & different! 
Michael's Craft store has the items to make the cards & it is not expensive at all

I just came out and asked them. That was the easiest and best way for me to do it.

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
We announced our engagement during christmas, so I purchased tree ornaments that were little white bears in wedding gowns. I glued little banners on them that said , "Will you be my bridesmaid?" and gave it to them as one of their christmas gifts. They loved them!!

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
I went to my FSIL and said "you're my bridesmaid". LOL! Seriously, that's what I did. She said "cool, okay!"

That is the cutest thing ever!!!! I made "will you be my BM, MOH", etc cards for everyone and I also wrote my 3 long distance best friends very long letters explaining why Id love them to be a special part of my day.

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
I just asked mine. Some already knew they would be in the party. I have another FSIL to ask, which I will do next weekend when I see her.

My sister has been planning my wedding since she was a little kid! I don' think I even asked her, it was just assumed.

chicsweets.com is not taking any more orders until spring 2005 
I just went to their website and they are expanding and moving and wont reopen til this fall or take nwe orders til next spring. THAT STINKS 
They are so cute and I was sure that that is what I was going to do. I guess I could always bake them myself but its not the same!
Good luck!

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
We gave the girls Angel Cheeks statues that were bridesmaids (thats what my FI used to propose, except the engagement one... and my mom had the bride and groom waiting for when we got engaged!), and got the guys Groomsman keychains... we put them in white bags with red tissue paper and made little labels that said "We've love you to be part of our special day" or something like that... then we gave them to them at our engagement party :)

Wow I was really boring about it. Within 10 minutes of getting engaged- I just called everyone. I hope that wasn't bad...

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
I asked my 14 year old cousin by wrapping up a poem in a box asking her to be my junior bridesmaid. I gave it to her at her confirmation party... so all her friends were there when she opened it! (she was so excited!) For the BM's I made T-shirts and gave it to them all wrapped up in a gift bag at the engagement party! Here is a pick of them after they all opened them! I totally recommend doing something that they get to keep!

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
I showed them a picture of the BM dress that I liked and asked them "if they would like to wear this dress for me?"

Re: how did you ask people to be in your bridal party?
I had a dinner party and presented each person with a scroll in the colors I want to use with an individual poem asking them to be a bridemaid/groomsmen, etc.
