Bridal party

So im tring to think of a clever/cute way to ask the girls to be in my bridal party and the men for my FH any good ideas.?

I'm asking them at the engagement party.

For the girls, I'm doing will you be my bridedmaid/maid of honor cards, totes, bubble bath, body cream, bath salts, body wash, a loofa, a robe, and pajamas.

For the guys, we're doing will you be my groomsman/best man cards, and poker sets.

Hope this helps!

I just had my engagement party yesterday (thank God the weather got nice!). I asked 4 out of 5 of my girls then. Everyone got a different poem asking to be a bridesmaid:

For one bridesmaid, I asked her a few weeks ago (b/c she lives close to me). I had inserted scrapbook paper and printed her name and the poem below into a BRIDES magazine. Then, I asked her if she wanted to looked through the magazine for wedding gowns with me. When she turned to the page, her mouth dropped. She started crying. :)

Nothing would gives us
more joy and more pride
Than to have you there
Walking by our side
Will you be in our wedding party?

At the party, I asked my FSIL (who is also getting married in a few months). Her FH (my brother) is going to be in the party as well. So, we framed a similar poem to the above one and told them that we had a present for them b/c we figured they were under a lot of stress with the wedding lately. They were very surprised and touched. :)

Then, I asked my FH's sister. She is 7 months pregnant, so I got her a cheap photo album (8 pages for photos- 1.50 in Michaels). I wrote a poem specifically for her and put a line on each page. She was so touched and couldn't believe how sneaky I was about how I asked her, hehe. :)

In just a few short months your new baby boy will change your whole life.
And in one quick year, your brother will say 'I do!' to his brand new wife.
Your new baby boy will require much love and good care…
Most times, you will realize you don’t have a moment to spare!
But even though this new baby will leave you with no time for play…
We really do hope that you can stand by us on our wedding day.
Gabriella, will you be in our wedding party?

Lastly, I asked my two cousins (sisters) together. I did the same thing as I did for the first bridesmad, but asked them if they wanted to see a picture of my dress. So they were all excited! I turned to the page before and said, 'What do you think of this dress?' So they were like, 'Oh, it's so pretty!' Then, I turned to the next page (One poem on each side) and said...'Or how about this one?' They started yelling, 'Of course, of course!!! We've dreamed of this day!'

So, my opinion...definitely personalize it. These women are going to be in your wedding party, so they are obviously the most important women in your life. Show them just how special they are to you.

Dedecakes... you did an awesome job. I love how you asked everyone! Very cute!!
