Asking groomsmen??

Alyson, on August 7, 2016 at 9:03 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17

Hey yall! So I made cute little favors for the girls I want to be my bridesmaid and I want to do something similar for our potential groomsmen but my fiance literally just wants to ask them straight up. I want to do something manly so it doesn't seem like it came from me but also something nice to ask them. How did you/your FH ask your groomsmen?

    Let your FH ask them however he wants. The groomsmen have nothing to do with you. Stay out of it.

    My FH bought them shots when they were out and asked them. Or he called them.

    If they are your FH's groomsmen, he can ask them however he wants. We don't have a bridal party so there was no asking.

    I plan to do the same. I'll ask FH to see if he's ok with me making some

    FH sent them a text asking/telling them to be in the BP. It doesn't need to be elaborate. Let him decide how he wants to do it.

    I've never understood these proposals. I called my bridesmaids and asked them on the phone. FH did the same for his groomsmen. If a lavish proposal isn't his style, let him do this his way.

    I agree with PPs on letting him ask how he wants. Also most people recommend not asking your bridal party until 8 months to a year before your wedding as a lot can change with relationships and your wedding planning.

    I did cute customer wine bottle labels. FH texted/asked in person.

    This made me think of:

    Agree with pp. They are his friends not yours. Also, most guys aren't into that kind of stuff anyways. I'm pretty sure guys just throw it into a conversation like it's just another day. "Oh, while I'm thinking about it, will you be my groomsman?" "Sure." Next topic.

    As others are saying...wait to ask your people. And when it's time, let him ask his way. You do yours your own way.

    You can suggest things to your FH but in the end, he should do it however he would like to. As for how my FH asked his groomsmen, he had custom chocolate bars made asking them.

    FH told me who he was gonna ask and then like a half hour later informed me that "they were all in." I didn't hear him make any calls so I assume he texted them.

    I'd just let him do what he wants. They're his friends and it's really not a hill worth dying on.

    FH and his BM went disc golfing when he asked. I thought I'd stay home and let the men have their "moment". I was made fun of pretty badly because I thought it'd be a special time. BM pretty much knew he would be. Let your FH do his thing. Guys aren't sentimental

    Your FH wants to do this a certain way. Why would you not respect that?
