Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Has anyone asked their bridesmaids to be in the party in a creative way??? I have a few ideas but wanted to see what else was out there!

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

I haven't asked any of my BM's yet..but i would love to hear your ideas

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

I heard of people hand making cards for each BM...just go to a craft store and get the materials....I thought that was a creative and cute way to ask. They have cute poems you can find online too to add to the card...poems asking the girls to be your BM. I'm not sure of the sites but do a google search.

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Yep, one idea was to go to Michael's and make somthing cute using words like 'sister' and 'friend', customizing it with my theme (eg leaves for fall). Unfortunately we haven't booked yet so it will be a few more weeks...a friend of mine sent out little land's end bags with her bm's initials, filled with goodies and a letter asking them to be in the party. I was also thinking of getting measuring tape (but making it cute), and writing out 'will you be my bridesmaid' or something like that...ideas please!!

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

i have been thinking of ways too...i just asked my sister to be my MOH. I bought a sliver compact at Things Remembered and had it engraved 'Be My Maid Of Honor' she lives in florida so i just mailed it to her...but now i need things for the BMs... i was thinking of sending an invitation or sometthing????

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Hey girls,
I made Will you be my bridesmaid/maid of honor cards. I posted them on here a while ago. Then I bought a dress and shoe cookie cutter off of ebay and I made sugar cookies and decorated them with homemade icing. They came out really cute and all my girls loved them!!!

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

I also made my cards with the cute poem written inside it ( i bought the things from michaels- scrapbooking) and i want to get the bridesmaid teddy bears from party city (they were so cute!!)

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Can you repost the cards or send the link over?

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Very nice, I'm all about DIY...A lot of them are out of state so whatever I make, it can't be too big!

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

i'm not that great at DIY projects, but i did like the way my 'will you be my BM?' bags came out. I bought bags and supplies from Michael's and stationery from Hallmark. I designed the outside of the bags, and then on the inside on pretty wedding stationery I printed a beautiful poem asking them to be my BM or MOH. (I think I found the poem on ultimatewedding.com, I know I searched ask.com for 'Will you be my BM poems')
I filled the bags with manicure kits, chocolates, small notebooks & colored pens (for ideas), and a bottle of asprin!! LOL here's a rought pic of it:

Re: Creative ways to ask your bridesmaids

Since I am only having a MOH I am waiting until after the holidays and am going to send her a cookie bouquet and have each cookie have a word on it say 'would you be my matron of honor'
