How to ask girls to be bridesmaids

Megan , on January 19, 2017 at 9:54 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 25

So I just wrote out a list of names of the girls that I want to ask to be in my wedding. My question is how should I go about asking them? Should I write personal letters? Should I just bring it up and ask them? Please help me I'm new to the asking game. Should add the girls I'm asking are girls...

So I just wrote out a list of names of the girls that I want to ask to be in my wedding. My question is how should I go about asking them? Should I write personal letters? Should I just bring it up and ask them? Please help me I'm new to the asking game. Should add the girls I'm asking are girls that are very near and dear to me and hoping that they will say yes. Thanks in advance girls!

    You don't. Not till next year.

    That's what everyone is going to tell you. And please please take the advice. I asked my girls 10 months in advanced (just face to face nothing special) and THEN I got onto WW. So full of regret. I have 5 girls and I wish I just had 2. And you can't cut anyone. Once you ask that is it. There is no changing. Unless you are willing to never see the person again .

    Good luck

    You can call them and ask 8-10 months before your wedding date.

    But it seems like you want to do something "cute" so... Wait until the Christmas holiday season and get them some type of small gift and cute card. Give it to them individually and in person (if possible). It doesn't have to be too elaborate or too expensive.

    1. Wait until 2018.

    2. Why is the list so big you had to write it out?

    Definitely wait until Thanksgiving/Christmas time to ask.

    Ask them individually so there is not peer pressure to say yes.

    You can just ask them on the phone or in person but if you want to do something "cute", just make them a card asking them and give them a something they like to eat/drink. Doesn't have to be anything extreme.
