Bridal Party Problem

Ok girls I really need some help with this one!

FH and I got engaged this past Feb and we're getting married in March of 08. We already asked the people who obviously knew they were going to be in the bridal party which is his two brothers and my sister. We were going to wait until this fall though to ask the rest of the people we wanted to be in it.

Here's the problem. FH and I carpool with one of my best friends who we already decided were going to ask to be in the bridal party, but haven't asked her yet. Today on the way home from work we were talking about wedding stuff and I was naming people that were going to be in the BP and without realizing what I was saying I said 'oh and you and Jenna (my other best friend)' and then after realizing what I had just said I followed it up with 'probably'

I feel sooooo terrible! That is not the way I wanted to ask her at all. I wanted to ask her and the other girl Jenna at the same time as they are my two best friends, I was just waiting till FH and I got the real wedding planning stuff underway!

Now however I have to speed things up a little and ask them both cause I don't want them feeling like asking them was an after thought!

So I'm asking you my fellow brides to help me come up with a special way to ask the two of them to be my BM's. They really are like my other sisters and I want to make them both feel special. (Something which I ENTIRELY suceeded in doing wrong today.)

So please if any of you know of a really nice way to ask them let me know. Cause right now I feel like the worst bride ever!

I wrote each of the girls a card asking them to be my BM, I didn't mail the card, I gave it to each one personally. For my MOH, I made a card on snapfish.com, uploaded a cute picture of us and included a nice 'Will you be my MOH' poem.

I invited my BMs to be to my house, made a nice brunch complete with mimosas and gave them each a card asking them to be my BMs. They loved it, at least they said they did!!

You could take them out to lunch since it's just the 2 of them for now........

Yea, I figured we would go out to a nice restaurant and I would give them each a card with something really nice written inside. Did anyone give their BM's something? LIke some sort of little gift?

I gave each of them a keychain with their initial on it, got them at Macy's when the whole initial thing was in....
