How Did You ask your bridesmaids?

I made these boxes for my girls and went to visit each one to hand deliver it to them. I’m having 2 maids of honor, so these are their boxes. My other bridesmaids are getting the same boxes, but with a sign that says Bridesmaids instead of Maid of Honor of course.

My brothers ex (she was in my life since I was 8 years old and only been the sister figure I had) is going to be my maid of honor. Fh and I didn’t start the planning til about late April of this year (been engaged for 12 years but we were tooooooo young so I kept pushing it off) I waited til Mother’s Day to give her a bracelet with her name and birth stone and told her how much I appreciated everything she did for me growing up and helping me with everything and asked her if she could wear the bracelet and accept my mix of honor proposal. For my bridesmaid I bought her a bouquet of flowers and put it in a bag and got her a happy birthday card and asked if she would be my mid of honor. She is also the sister of my maid of honor who I also grew up with.

These look fab, Erika! Did they love them?

Mine already “know” lol but I’m still going to do a little something special - I might send them each a little personal basket with a wine glass, mini champagne and a bracelet (they have some really cute ones on amazon)

This is a great idea!!

View Quoted Comment I asked them before the official proposal too so they wouldn’t feel “obligated” to say yes. They all accepted via text and then I made boxes for them and gave to them individually (usually over a meal or a drink) where they again accepted.

I sent a card that stated why I they are so important to me and why I needed them by my side for the big day. Then I asked them if they would be my bridesmaid/maid of honor. I included some paint swatches from sherwin williams of the wedding colors so they could see those and use them for matching anything.

I did these boxes! There are chocolate kisses in the mug, a matching mug for all of us, tea bags, hot chocolate packets, bath bomb, a face mask, and socks to match their personalities. And also a cute little poem.

Not gonna lie, I sent them a text and asked xD. They live across the country from me, so it was faster and easier and far more reliable.

I ordered personalized cookies for them! Each of them had a cookie that said “will you be my bridesmaid?” And another with their name on it. They were super cute and I was able to send those along with a note to some of my bridesmaids that were out of town (we’re in college and at different schools).

I bought mine these adorable necklaces on Amazon - you can engrave them (only $10 each) so I put "Can't say 'I do' without you! Love, Rachael" on mine. I might add something else, but I kind of like just the necklace and a card that matches my theme and says "Will you be my bridesmaid?"

That's a fun idea! What was the puzzle of?

This is what I did!! This was for my sister and my godmothers daughter who knew I’d be asking them! I have 2 friends that I know have a lot of responsibilities (One just had a baby and is a military member, for example), so for them I’m going to ask them if it is something they’d be able to do and then do the fun proposal!
