HOW TO ASK BRIDESMAIDS AND GROOMSMEN TO BE IN WEDDING ??

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CREATIVE WAY TO ASK THEIR BRIDESMAIDS AND GROOMSMEN TO BE IN THEIR WEDDINGS?

I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE USUALLY DOES THE SAME THINGS...

I HAVE SEEN THE PICTURES FRAME WITH A LITTLE NOTE INSIDE AND THE WHOLE COOKIE WITH THE WRITING ON TOP. PLEASE POST SOME WAYS YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS ASKED YOUR BRIDAL PARTY TO BE IN YOUR WEDDING.

I TRUELY APPRECIATE IT. I JUST GOT ENGAGED ON 12/23 AND I AM LOOKING TO GET MARRIED SEPT OF 2012. WE HAVE A TON OF PLANNING TO DO

THANKS TO ALL

I heard some brides did a scrapbook for each person in the bridal party. Others have done wine glasses or ornaments (xmas) asking will you be my BM.

I did cookies for some of my BM's then a tank top for the out of state girls that said Bridesmaid/MOH.

HTH!! Good luck & congrats on your engagement!

I feel terrible. I was never in a wedding before and had no idea I was supposed to do something creative and I literally just asked them...kind of abruptly too lol. Am I a terrible bride? Should I have done something better or should I do something now? I asked them 2 months ago, lol

Not original in anyway, but I just DIYed cards for them recently and they really liked them.

I liked the cookie idea but they're all on a health/gym craze so I didn't think that would go over well.

I sent my girls flowers and asked them with a note that said:

'I would be honored if you would carry flowers like these down the aisle as a bridesmaid in my wedding.

Will you be my bridesmaid?'
