"Asking Bridesmaid" gift. Do I need to add anything?

That's the same thing I'm going to get to ask my bridesmaids!! I think it's so cute and unique. I think that's enough because it's just to ask them to be a bridesmaid, they'll be getting gifts later

Thats fine. You technically dont need to do anything, this is a cute idea!

Yay! I'm glad someone else is doing it too!!!

And thanks I like to give so I wanted to make sure it was enough!

I did a similar balloon!! They were super cute and really fun!

Lol I hope they don't get too upset with the glitter. Hahha!

You must not like your friends very much.

My only problem with this is I freaking HATE the sound of balloons popping. Make sure no one is like me.

I would be so pissed, I hate cleaning up glitter. You know people send glitter bombs to people they don't like, right? I'd reconsider this without the glitter.

JoRocka - ha so funny! I really don't.

@LindseyO -I've known these girls for years and I know they would love this. I also plan on making sure they're at my place when I present this to them so I will be the one the clean up the mess. Thanks for the concern!

I did the same thing. I sent these to my girls!

You must do this at your home. Theirs or a restaurant is awful. Ugh glitter is the devil

@breezy that's so cute! I love how you have a disclaimer to make sure to pop outside! I was thinking of having then do that, but they all have dogs so I wouldn't want the dogs to ingest the glitter.

@futureMrsD maybe front yard? Or in the street? Obviously when there aren't any cars. Lol

I sent my BMs a text the minute I got the ring. I feel like such a slacker.

I know you're caught up in the "BM proposal" scenario, OP, especially when you're more than a year out (ehhh...read the forums...you may regret the early honors being bestowed). I don't mean to rain on your parade. However, every time I hear about a bride-to-be who decides to take her honor attendants -- one at a time -- out to lunch or dinner, I smile. It's a far more personal approach (with no peer pressure to say "yes"). I've always believed that a personal, face to face invitation was far preferable (and memorable) instead of asking a group of women, whatever their financial means may be, to serve as an honor attendants amidst ring pops and glittery confetti (with all of the contemporary costs of gowns, showers, and bachelorette parties).

Pinterest can be the devil. I can't believe what they have successfully foisted on independent, educated, brides-to-be. Ring pops and sticky poems are for kids, and those tiny bottles of booze are for nobody besides the long bearded guy hanging around the dumpster of the local 7-11. Buy your honor attendant a drink, look her in the eye, and ask her to be your bridesmaid.

I will never understand this, and when it's done in front of a group of women who are being "proposed to", I understand it even less.

Sorry....but hey, I'm totally into your wedding planning!

Very cute how you have it now! Doing a bottle of wine or more would be overdoing it.

@centerpiece - thank you so much for the kind words! But I honestly was not going planning on them being all together at my apartment. I have 3 girls of my closet girlfriend who I am sure I won't change my mind about. I'm actually going to be asking my MoH Sunday since she is going with me to my venues open house so it seemed like a good idea to go ahead since she's already done so much for me in regards to wedding planning.

I'm bought these because all 3 of them have mentioned to me before that whenever they've been asked to be on a bridal party they were just "told" to be in a bridal party. No cute "will you be my bridesmaids" thing. So I just really wanted to give them that. I didn't think my choice of how to ask them had so many rules, nor can I believe I have to justify why I chose this as my way of asking them. I want my girls to be happy so I was wanting to cater to what they all wanted. And I felt this was a good way to make them feel special but also be fun about it.

Dogs eat worse things than glitter sometimes their own poop. Just ask your people to be your bridesmaids - no need for extra things.

My friend asked me to be a bridesmaid using one of these but I think she made it herself. She had me do it outside. It was fun! And then she gave me a hanger for my bridesmaid dress with my name on it and a bow. I love glitter but was terrified of popping the balloon, haha, but it was fun and a cute way to ask. Other friends have just asked or even said "obviously you're a bridesmaid", and I preferred this way. It added some pizazz
