He popped the question. You said yes. Now you need to ask your favorite girls to join you on your big day.
The “Will you be my bridesmaid?” moment is a big deal. Whether you want it to be a meaningful representation of your friendship, or you want to create a laughable moment from an inside joke, either way, it’s going to be a lasting memory between you and your best friends.
From a personalized gift box to an Instagram photo book, try one of these creative ways to ask the leading ladies in your life to be your bridesmaids.
Create a bridesmaid gift box
If you’re looking for a personal gift for your girlfriends, then a bridesmaid box is your best bet. You can add photos of you and your besties, their favorite treats (like candy or a mini champagne bottle), little mementos, and handwritten cards for the perfect finishing touch.
Try the fortune cookie trick
I bet your besties didn’t know you had the power to tell the future. Thanks to Maple and Love, you can whip up a batch of vanilla cookies dipped in white chocolate and metallic sprinkles. Surprise your girlfriends by leaving a message inside like, “You will be standing next to me at the altar,” or “I see a bridesmaid’s dress in your future.”
Host a wine night
Opt for this method if your girls are fine like wine. Apply a custom label on a bottle of their favorite wine and invite them over for a girl’s night (Delicate Estates has a fun selection of labels). Trust us, they’ll be overjoyed to see their go-to wine brand on tap for the evening.
Send them packing
Whether your girls will be road tripping, taking the train, or flying cross-country for your big day, help them label their precious luggage with style. Buy custom made luggage tags and slip a note inside the holder labeled “bridesmaid” for one package they’ll be ecstatic to open.
Ask them to help you keep cool
Send them a pair of cute sunnies with a note attached that reads, “Help me keep cool under pressure. Will you be my bridesmaid?” It’s a unique way to kick off your bridal party.
Instagram it up
Show off all those #ThrowbackThursdays and #WomanCrushWednesday moments by chronicling your favorite memories. Try the Artifact Uprising Instagram Friendly Books, a handy photo book that allows you to put together your favorite photos in a book. Don’t forget to pop the question on the last page!
Offer a cup of joe
If coffee is more of a necessity than an option for your ladies, gift them a cup of coffee with these pre-made maid of honor and bridesmaid labels.
Gift them a sweet treat
Every girl has a sweet tooth, so why not opt for a tasty treat? Beau-Coup allows you to add customized writing on top of little cakes with messages like, “I can’t say ‘I do’ without you” or “He’s marrying me, but he’s stuck with us.”
