How to ask my bridesmaids?!

Darymar, on May 17, 2019 at 9:55 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
Hello there! I'm very excited about asking some of my cousins and friends to be with me on that big day as a bridesmaid and I want to do something nice and cute for them. Any ideas or recommendations on how to ask simply but unforgettable? + is too much if I decide to have 8 bridesmaids with me?

    There's the big trend of proposal boxes right now. But as for simple, it would be nice to write a card to each of them and maybe get some pretty spring flowers. You can have as many people by you as you want in the bridal party.

    This is how I asked. It cost me about $12 per box. 3 custom sugar cookies, 1 baby wine bottle, Hershey kisses, hand cream, and a card with the date and colors. They loved them. Just an idea.
    As to 8 people it’s up to you! If those 8 people are important to you go for it! Good luck.

    I made these boxes for my girls. I ordered the champagne flutes from Etsy and the mini bottle labels from Amazon.
