Re: bridesmaid luncheon
Yeah, I'd love to know too! I was thinking more of taking them all out to dinner to introduce them all. Is that what you ladies are doing?

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
you can do it at any point, but i think a nice time to do it would be maybe if you have them all together to pick out the dresses and then go out to lunch/dinner after... just basically thanking them for being in the BP..

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
I plan on hosting a dinner at my house to formally ask the girls to be my bridesmaids. I have a little gift to give to them as well. I may hold one or two more similar get togethers as the preparation continues and we have more things to do together.

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
I had a luncheon to ask the girls to be in my wedding about 3 weeks ago! I have heard of brides having a luncheon for the bridesmaids before the wedding, I think I am going to have a BBQ with the bridesmaids / groomsmen a month or so before the wedding

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
I think I'm just going to invite my BM's over for dinner before the wedding and give them their gifts.

all my girls knew each other since it was my sister, SIL and cousin, but i did take everyone out for late lunch/early dinner after we picked out and order the BM dress. I also had them over to my place for horderves to give them their gifts about a month before the wedding, b/c we didn't have a rehearsal.

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
All of my girls already knew each other, but I did take them out to lunch after the first time we all went dress shopping together.

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
I did it. All my Bms knew each other so I did it about 2 mos before wedding. If they didn't know each other I would have done it on the day we went to get our dresses

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
Since I have officially finished asking them all to be in my bridal party, I am having them over my house for a girl's night so that they can get to know each other better. I think I'll have another get together around Christmas and then a brunch a month or so before the wedding.

Re: bridesmaid luncheon
I'm going to take them all out closer to the wedding... maybe a couple of months before. We'll relax, eat, have some drinks and I'll give the girls their gifts.Welcome New Vendors
