I made them myself. I bought the dough and cookie cutters then painted them w/ frosting. If you didn't want to DIY, you can always buy them from someone.

I used these: http://www.etsy.com/listing/124415237/will-you-be-my-bridesmaid-funny-cardsI also made a photo book for each bridesmaid. Each one had pictures of us throughout our friendship with cute quotes and stuff. Made them on shutterfly.

I did wine glasses you can check my album...I was going to do cookies shaped like wedding dresses and written on there would say bridesmaid?
My friend bought these stickers off etsy or anywhere really, that said 'Ashley will you be my bridesmaid' then she put them on a bottle of wine and gave those out

I did little fortune cookies with the fortune saying 'will you be my bridesmaid?' I put them in little Chinese take out boxes with a bow. They were simple but cute.

I posted a picture in my album. I didn't go crazy, just had them over for dinner and asked them with the cookies I had made. :)

I bought them thru etsy seller TheWhimsicalTree. She made felt ones and then makes the fortune say anything you want. I bought the take out boxes from michaels.

I got cupcakes from a bakery and had them write 'Will you be my bridesmaid?' on them. My two sisters are my Maids of Honor so for them I got cute key chains and had ' Will you be my Maid of Honor?' on one side and their name and the date of the wedding on the other. I ended up loving the key chains so I bought 5 more- 4 for my bridesmaids and 1 for me! On those I put the names on one side and then 'Bridesmaid' and the date of the wedding on the other. Pics in my album!!

they are very pretty! I live the key accent too!
I think I've narrowed down my ideas to fortune cookies or jig saw puzzle!

I have a Mac and made my own cards using the iPhoto app (through apple you can create cards, photo books, etc. and use their templates - super easy). I searched online for the ugliest bridesmaid dresses. Found 6 or 7 super bad photos of people wearing ugly dresses and put those pictures on the cover of the card. I then wrote in the inside, 'I promise I won't make you wear any of these dresses.... Will you be my bridesmaid?'. Really easy and cheap and looked professional. My friends were surprised that I made it :)Ironically enough, literally a day after I ordered them my fiance found an article with Top 10 ugliest bridesmaid dresses. I was sooo annoyed until I realized that most of the ones I picked were in that list! lol

If you want to make your own I actually found a site to tell you how (I was originally debating this idea too). Take the fortune cookie and wrap it in a damp paper towel and then microwave it- when you take it out it is soft enough to open it up and take out the fortune and put in your own! The microwaving part is tricky, I would get a bunch to test out! Then you could even dip them in chocolate or put sprinkles on! Super cute
