Bridesmaids

Should I talk to my friends about being a bridesmaid in the wedding before I do the bridesmaid proposal? Also what did you give your bridesmaids when you asked them to be in your wedding? Thanks in advance!

    Like Gen, I simply asked if they wanted to be my BM. I didn't do a whole BM proposal, but I of course got them BM gifts closer to the wedding!

    I'm doing a bridesmaid proposal. I think it's cute and fun. They don't know they're getting anything except for the MoH but she doesn't know what they're getting. The kinda creepy picture is actually a digital drawing from someone I worked with so I'm going to pritnt the invite cards with that on one side.

    I sent them cards from Zazzle since they all live in different states. I mentioned to it prior because I couldn't contain my excitement lol. So they knew a head of time and I just just made it official by sending them proposal cards.

    I also just asked. I didn't feel the need to give them a gift to help them say yes.

    I asked them before I did the whole proposal so they didn’t feel obligated to say yes when I officially asked. They all said yes when I informally asked and obviously yes again when I officially asked!

    When they congratulated me my reply was "I want you to be a bridesmaid". In November I invited them all out to lunch and did my official proposal with wine bottles that read will you be my bridesmaid.

    I actually did 3 different "proposals" depending on each girl. For my sister, MOH, I created a custom card and a proposal box with champagne, a nice glass, and a bracelet. For another bridesmaid, I also did a custom card, but in her box put some wine and skin/facial care products (spa-themed). For my last bridesmaid, my roommate, we had actually already planned on going to a cake decorating event thrown by my bakery. I contacted the bakery ahead of time and they made a custom cake topper that read, "Will you be my bridesmaid?". I stuck it on her cake when she was done decorating it. My roommate really doesn't like gifts, so doing it at the event was perfect for her.

    I think that is very considerate of you to ask before getting them a gift! I see nothing wrong with asking before making it official!
