My Bridesmaid might say no, should I ask first?

Hi! This is my first post - my fiancé and I recently moved out of state (FL to TX) and I'm personalizing gifts to ship to my future bridesmaids and MOH since I can't ask them all in person. One of my good friends recently became pregnant - her baby will be about 6 months old by the time I get married, but as a new mom she might say no to being a bridesmaid.

So my question is should I call her and ask for her to be a bridesmaid before I personalize and ship a proposal box to her? I don't want her to feel pressured with a gift - I'm okay with her saying no. I'm torn between wanting to surprise her with a gift and being respectful of her baby girl.

    Okay so I am in the same predicament (2023) and I was wondering what you ultimately decided. I am leaning towards asking and then sending the gift because if she says no it's not like she'd know about the gift anyhow....

    I would love to know what yall ended up doing! I’m in a similar situation all but two of my bridesmaids are local. I was going to just send the boxes with no heads up so it’s a surprise but now I’m questioning it
