Will You Be My Bridesmaid? How did you ask your friends?

Here is another style by the same maker..

I would wait on asking your bridal party so soon. People say things aren't going to change, but they will. Trust me.

Also, I think the boxes are cute. I don't think they're necessary, but if you've got a little extra to splurge, go ahead.

I asked my BMs and MOHs via text message and snapchat.

Just ask.

I wrote them a nice note because everyone loves snail mail and ended the note saying to call and we'd chat. I didn't make a huge deal out of it, just thought my ladies would enjoy a card in the mail.

You are WAY too far out to be asking people to stand up. I would recommend waiting a few months before asking people. Relationships may change.

Otherwise, the boxes are cute. I don't think it has to be a big show, but if that's what you are going for... the boxes are adorable!

This is what I sent. They called when they got it and we gushed over wedding detials.

Ha. Two got phone calls, two got texts, and one got a g-chat. My sister already knew, didn't have to ask her.

I really, really h ate these boxes. I got one for another wedding with the cheapest crap in it, I threw out the necklace. Totally useless, and I would have been much more touched if she had called rather than just throwing money at Etsy.

Those boxes are cute. Don't go too overboard with it.

I did propose to my sister though to be my MOH. I did it at her work and it was hilarious and embarrassing lol.

They're cute.

I sent my ladies a text message. I'm so not into this proposing to bridesmaids trend.

Oh yeah.....don't do it now. Wait until 6-8 months before.

Chrissy4985 What is the sellers name on those boxes? I love them!

I asked them in person. I'm not into the whole extravaganza and neither are they.

I love the boxes that is what I plan on doing when I do decide to ask. I like that there are inexpensive things in the boxes, so it's not over the top. I know my group of friends will definitely appreciate it.

But I agree with @Mrs. Faith about waiting to ask.

I made boxes I got from Michaels for each one with various little items in them and put their title on a little notebook! They loved them!!

I made boxes and had balloons they popped! I like the 2nd style you posted better, I just don't think I'd keep a box that asks me to be a bridesmaid on the top I would keep a box with my first initial, monogram, or name.

I did the balloon pop too and it was a hit. I used to work at Michaels so I got the supplies I needed for under $3pp. The only one that was a pain was my cousin in California, the rest I dropped off to their doorstep it's certainly not needed, but for as cheap as it was, I have no regrets.

I just asked them in person (1 with a phone call, since we're long distance), and that worked great for me. I don't think that you need any frills...if anything, that might make it awkward for them if they feel like they can't do it for financial reasons or any other reason. For my MOH, I asked her to come to a wedding dress appointment with me alone. I made something up that since it was a trunk show, only one person was allowed (a little white lie is okay, right?). After the appointment, I just asked her in the parking lot! I'll never forget that moment...it is one of my favorite memories of our friendship! She cried and cried! Texting and fb messaging can be really great, but I'm so glad that I asked her in person. Next, I set up another dress appointment with my MOH and soon-to-be bridesmaids. I asked them right before the appointment. It made it that much more special when I picked my dress that day! So, what I'm trying to say is, gifts and cards are a sweet gesture, but the verbal method is totally sufficient, and it gives them the chance to think about it if they need to. You could always take them all out for a drink after they say yes!

I called first. which i would def suggest for you since you're having a DW right. Putting someone on the spot with a nice box like that might make them feel like they have to say yes. With the expense of a DW and without knowing all the details (including cost) I would not want them to make a decision like that. I called my girls individually and then asked them publicly in a post on social media to make them feel special. They loved it esp the ones that are related to me.

Since you are having a DW I would not suggest that you wait to ask them as they would need time to pay for dress and travel to your wedding. I agree with FFW ask them 1st, then you can do something like the box for them unless you are very certain about your relationship with them then I say go for it. Cute boxes tho!
