Asking the Bridesmaids

Michaela, on April 9, 2020 at 12:06 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
My wedding is scheduled to take place November 14th of this year. We are still planning for it as if nothing is going to change. With that being said, I have 3 of 5 bridesmaids that I haven’t asked yet. I made boxes for them and was able to give two of the girls their boxes. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on how to ask the other three girls that would be something more special than a text message or phone call seeing as I can’t really go see them at this point?

    Can you make them a nice card with a handwritten message? You could even fill it with some confetti if you wanted to "fun" it up.

    It is most polite to talk with any prospective bridesmaids, live or on the phone, to discuss the details of the wedding and schedule, dresses, location , any travel or lodgings needed for the wedding. And not present a surprise or gifts first, which makes it hard to say no even when they know they have a conflict, or cannot afford it, or just don't want to do it. Then either drop out later, or not respond . Waiting til they have said yes, and having a real conversation, is most important. Not any surprise . Then if you want to send something, though unnecessary, you may .

    Hi Michaela! Do the Zoom chat and have the will you be my bridesmaids box open as the chat opens or as the chat opens let them know how happy you are about getting married and how special it works be to have you ( bridesmaid) by her side raise a class of mimosa and the box and say whatever it is your heart! Adding can’t wait for quarantine to be over to celebrate. Something like that . Lol!

    We are wedding date twins!!!


    I met each of my girls for coffee before this happened - but now with the pandemic. Are you doing proposal gifts? You could send the gift and text them to call you when they receive it so you can skype the call and chat after? But I would defiantly do a facetime of sorts to ask them. You could even make a paper sign or something so when they open the call they see you asking.


    Whatever you do will be perfect!

    I’ve already asked my girls through text months ago but I’m sending them a proposal box with the STDs.

    Be careful if you go with confetti! Like glitter it doesn’t go away! I used it in my bridesmaid proposal cards, and as “payback” was sent a singing card prank that sang for over 4hrs.! Haha
