Asking those to be in your bridal party

I haven't done this yet. How did you all ask everyone to be in your party? My bridal party pretty much figures they are in it so that probably ruins the surprise, but I still want to do it in a fun way

Asking those to be in your bridal party

I mailed packages with a coral ombré jar cupcake, a little coral candle, a coral nail polish, and Hershey kisses with a card from etsy asking them to be my bridesmaids. Groomsmen got tuxedo t shirts, Star Wars chocolate covered Oreos, and Hershey kisses with cards from etsy.
I got my flower girls/ring bearer relevant books and a few other little things.

Re: Asking those to be in your bridal party

We are only having my sister as Maid of Honor and his best friend as the Best Man, so I got a bottle of her favorite wine and had a label made on Etsy that said her name and 'will you be my maid of honor' and I got her a pretty glittery glass engraved with my sister's name that said Maid of Honor. For his friend we had a Jack Daniels-like label made up to put on a bottle asking the BM, along with a cigar that says 'your service as Best Man is requested'.

Asking those to be in your bridal party

My girls are all out of town, I made a collage with a poem that I was going to send each, but I became impatient so I just called them and asked them on the phone and then sent the collage. I was too excited to wait. I'm only having a friend and my 2 fsils so it was easiest to just call, since I for to hear the excitement in their voice.

Asking those to be in your bridal party

I made pictures puzzles online(printer studio.com) and mailed them to their houses. Everyone loved them! I wanted to do something different and searched online and found this great idea! It was $4.99 for one which was such a great price. Quality of the puzzle and picture were great.

Asking those to be in your bridal party

I wrote them all cards asking. The front said 'He chose to marry me, but he's stuck with us' and the inside asked and I just wrote a quick note. Nothing too fancy, but enough to make it feel 'official' to me.

Asking those to be in your bridal party

I gave my girls mini bottles of pink champagne and personalized cards asking each of them. I gave them to each of them when I could see them in person, so some got them earlier than others!

Asking those to be in your bridal party

I actually decided to do something because I saw this post. I went to party city yesterday and bought white boxes (they are bigger than they should be, but oh well). Then I asked the person in the card studio to print personalized cards. I filled the boxes with candy and put chap stick and nail polish in the girls, and mini alcohol bottles in the boys. I will try to figure out how to add a pic!
