I still haven't asked my girls to be in my bridal party mostly because I don't know what to buy them. I have tossed around a million ideas and can't settle on something. I love the wire hangers with their names on it but the shipping for some of them are more expensive than the hangers and I wouldn't get them for weeks. Something that should be so easy I'm making sooo difficult
What did you ladies buy your bridesmaids when asking if they'll be in your bridal party?

I just did ring pops because I thought it was cute. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought anything.
I just bought personalized cards to ask them. I love my girls, but I'll be buying them gifts in a year to give to them before the wedding and I'm trying to save as much as I can, so I don't want to do anything frivolous.

I got cards made as well. These are what I bought, but you can search 'bridesmaids cards' on etsy and there is a huge variety
Three of the four BMs are not in this country, so I just asked them over Skype. The fourth BM is my FSIL, don't know how to ask her since we're not very close.

i bought wine labels off etsy that said 'will you be my bridesmaid' on them and then went to the liquor store and picked their favorite wines. I brought one of the labels with me just to make sure it would fit over the existing label on the wine bottles I bought, but they loved them! When I gave them to my sisters we popped them open and had a wine/cheese night lol it was awesome

To ask them, I sent them all cards from Etsy asking to be my BM. I got my sister a Kate Spade bracelet that says 'Best Friend Ever'. For the wedding, so far I purchased them all the hangers with their name bent in wire. I'll be getting them jewelry and probably a wristlet for the day of!

i bought wine labels and then tote bags that are personalized. I waited for sales/ used coupons. For my 6 bridesmaids i spent a total of $70 between coupons and sales :) giving it to them next weekend!

I bought hangers from bed bath and beyond then went to michaels and bought stickers and I wrote there name on the top in the stickers. Then I wrote a poem in a card and hung the card on the bottom of the hanger. They all thought it was cute and it was definitely cheaper than the wire hangers

I had cards made from etsy and bought them a personalized necklace. I also took MrsMango's idea of the nail polishes and nail files :)
I have pics of the cards and necklace in my album :)

Same here! I got my idea to ask my bridemaids online searching for ideas (forget what site). It was a simple DIY project. It was a cute candy gram with a poem incorporating each piece of candy/chocolate used. I have pictures in my album. HTH!

I didn't buy them anything yet. I had cookies made when I asked them and I'll give them their gifts closer to the wedding.
