You said yes. Now you need to ask your favorite girls to join you on your big day.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Will you be my bridesmaid?&#8221; 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\u2019s going to be a lasting memory between you and your\u00a0best friends.<\/p>\n<p>From a personalized gift box to an Instagram photo book, try one of these creative ways to ask\u00a0the\u00a0leading ladies in your life to be your bridesmaids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a bridesmaid gift box<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you&#8217;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,\u00a0and handwritten cards for the perfect finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try the fortune cookie trick<\/strong><br \/>\nI bet your besties didn\u2019t know you had the power to tell the future. Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapleandlove.com\/good-fortune-cookies\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maple and Love<\/a>, 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, &#8220;You will be standing next to me at the altar,&#8221; or &#8220;I see a bridesmaid&#8217;s dress in your future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Host a wine night<\/strong><br \/>\nOpt for this method if your girls are fine like wine.

Trust us, they\u2019ll be overjoyed to see their go-to wine brand on tap for the evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Send them packing<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether your girls will be road tripping, taking the train, or flying cross-country\u00a0for your big day, help them label their precious luggage with style. Buy custom made luggage tags and slip a note inside the holder labeled &#8220;bridesmaid&#8221; for one package they&#8217;ll be ecstatic to open.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask them to help you keep cool<\/strong><br \/>\nSend them a pair of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/trendiest-sunglasses\/\" target=\"_blank\">cute sunnies<\/a> with a note attached that\u00a0reads, &#8220;Help me keep cool under pressure.
