How did you ask your bridesmaids to be in your wedding?

Someone started a thread with almost this EXACT title like an hour or two ago. It should be easy to find. Better to join that one than start a new one as people who responded there may not respond here right after.

Second part to my question...We are not getting married until September 2017. Is it too soon to ask my friends to be bridesmaids? Or is now a good time?

Too soon A lot can change in that time.

I know you're probably super hype to do it now but it's too soon. Your relationships with these people might change before then and it could get uncomfortable if they change not for the better.

YES. Too soon. In just the six weeks I have been on WW, I have seen countless stories of women who have had a falling out with one of their BMs and some even want to replace them! It's easy to think "we've been friends for ___years. Nothing is going to change now." But I assume they felt the same way. There is no harm in waiting to ask.

This is what I'm doing in August but I'm asking my sisters and best friend so my wedding party kinda already knows.

I'm not planning on asking until a year out, but I'm probably just going to ask them whenever we hang out. I'm not a fan of big bridesmaid proposals- I like the idea of keeping it simple.

I said, Hey do you want to be my BM? I hate the stupid proposal crap.

I went to go to my BFF's house and over a BOTTLE of wine I asked her if she would be my MOH lol.

I love all this cutesy stuff so I made bridesmaid boxes, balloons, and wrote them each a handwritten note about how much I love them which made everyone cry lots

Personally I just asked. But I do love the cute boxes, it's just not really me/ my bridesmaids.

I would strongly advise you to wait and ask individually. For waiting, scroll through the fist few pages on WW to see why that's a good idea.. There's tons of threads that thoroughly cover it.

Ask for asking individually, you give people more of an option to decline/ talk about money etc.

Yes it's too soon. I just asked.

Took them to dinner and gave them each a note I had written. I would wait a little longer.

I made these cards and charm bracelets for them. They had a heart charm that said bridesmaid then just a couple other cute charms I found at Joanns. I'm getting married October 2017. However I already asked mine. I think you will personally know when the time is right to ask. My group will not change considering they are either family, soon to be family, or best friends that I have been friends with since high school and elementary school. Ask when you want. And when you feel it's the right time. I knew my group long before asking. I fully understand people saying to wait for risk of it changing but it definitely depends on your group.

I haven't asked yet on purpose. Lots of my closest friends are trying to get pregnant. I'm having a destination wedding so I'm going to wait about 7 months out. I don't want someone to feel obligated to accept even if she will have just given birth before or will shortly after. A wedding is one day and a child is a lifetime. Traveling with an infant isn't easy and neither is being 7+ months pregnant.

I'll be happy no matter what so that's what matters.

I made them personalized jewelry boxes with a personalized handkerchief and a little poem I found on Pinterest. My flower girl 'proposal' was similar where I sent her a poem and a book about what being a flower girl is since she's 5 and has never done it before.

I'd wait a little bit to ask your bridesmaids. A LOT can change between now and then. I got these super cute cards off of etsy. One said 'Will you please hold my dress while I pee?' And another said 'I'm holding your responsible for making all of my Pinterest boards come to life' or something to that effect. Then they had 'Will you be my BM/MOH?' On the inside. I wrote out little notes on the inside about how much each of my girls meant to me. They loved it!
