They’ve been with you through thick and thin and now you’re ready to make it official, by making them a bridesmaid. Deciding on your bridal party can be like strolling through a minefield. Think before you act and tread carefully to ensure peace now, and for years to come. With friends and family anticipating or assuming they’ll be asked, it’s easy to get confused and resentful. The important thing is that whoever you choose needs to be someone you feel close to and who you want to be part of this journey with you.
Nowadays the task of asking your besties to be your bridesmaids has turned into a creative event. Think of what the girls would like and come up with a creative way to ask your best friends to be part of your bridal party.
Ask with a card
Create a custom card with a personalized message to that particular friend. You can add photos of the two of you or even include a beautiful necklace. The whole idea is to personalize the card so your friend knows you went to a lot of effort for her. It’s a special touch.
Create a puzzle
Why not customize a puzzle for your friend. Give your friend the pieces of the puzzle in a box or envelope and get them to put it together. You will create excitement and an unexpected surprise.
Pop the Question
Who needs diamonds when you can have candy? Pop the question to your maids with a ring pop!
Friendship Kit
Put together a “friendship kit” for each of your girls. Fill each kit with photos and stories from your time of being friends. Then present each of your girls with the kit and ask them to be your bridesmaid!
