What would be the right way to ask someone to be your bridemaid that lives a few hours away? Would it be proper to just ask on the phone? Thanks for all you help in advance.

I asked my fiances sister who lived in vegas at the time while we are here in mississippi over the phone, in fact I think I asked everyone but my sister who lives with me over the phone....I was so excited that the next morning I called my matron of honor and asked her to be it while I put my make up on! I already knew who I would have so they were all asked within 48 hours of being engaged....and over the phone so I think its totally ok! Nobody had a problem with it, in fact, even my flower girl got asked by phone, but then she lives 3 hours away, so I had to, but you could still tell she was excited about being a princess, all in all, it doesn't matter, just ask and they;ll be honored!

I had a similar situation when my cousin was getting married. She lives in VA and I live in CT. She called and we had general conversation then she told me the good news. She then told me that she wanted me to be in her wedding because she's like a little sister to me. I was excited for her and of course I excepted, it was an honor to be in my little cousin's wedding. She selected dresses from David's Bridal (it's nationwide) so the dresses would be the same except for mine because I was her maid of honor. We all wore clear shoes which really didn't matter because the dresses were long enough so none of our shoes showed until we sat down. I think you calling her on the phone, sharing your good news and asking her would be great. Congratulations!!!!!

You can ask her on the phone or you can write her a letter telling her how you feel about her and how you love for her to be a bridesmaid.

whilst it is a great thought to not blow a ton of money on your wedding ceremony, axing bridesmaids and groomsmen relatively does not get rid of that plenty so a techniques as universal expenditures pass. relatively, all you're doing is removing bouquets, boutonnieres and presents by way of fact they traditionally pay for their very own clothing/shoes/tuxes/tc. in case you at the instant are not wishing to offend all of us by utilising not having particular people unique as bridesmaids and groomsmen there is not something that asserts you may have them. And, it is your wedding ceremony, so relatively you're allowed to do in spite of you like. you may easily do a "wedding ceremony in the around" so as that one and all your people could get up around you in the process the ceremony. This removes the want for the bridal occasion by way of fact all of the people in attendance form of act by way of fact the bridal occasion. (the point of the bridal occasion in the 1st place is to "get up" and returned the bride and groom as they take their first steps as a married couple, so why not have all of us on the marriage fill those shoes?) besides, like I mentioned, there is not something that asserts you may have all of us get up with you while you're turning out to be married and in case you do not want to play favorites then merely merely tell your people which you particularly want to maintain issues user-friendly, small and intimate. Congratulations and robust success!

Personally, I sent my bridesmaids cards. (One's in Canada, one's in Florida, and my Maid of Honor is in Virginia; I'm in Pennsylvania) However, all of them knew I was going to be asking them beforehand.
If you don't want to spend the money on cards (They can be ridiculous, but they're especially thoughtful if you make your own) phone or email is perfectly okay.

I was lucky to have my out of town family in town when they were told i was engaged. But I was just going to ask over the phone I dont see any problem. Goodluck.

I had a similar issue myself. I live in Nebraska and my maid of honor lives in California. I just called her and asked her. She was estatic. Calling is better than email or snail mail. Give her a ring she'll love it.

before u can ask someone to be your bridesmade you must have know the person and possibly, like the person - meaning your rapour with the person must be nice.
To me, all you need do is just call her (one-on-one) and tell her what you have in mind (i would like you to be one of my bridesmaid) and i know she wouldnt object to that because it is a thing of honour. i dont think calling her on phone is too good.

Sure, call her up. You dont need a face to face to ask, although it would be nice, sometimes distance doesnt allow it.
Give her a call, she wont be insulted.

Sure it is, and of course you can ask on the phone.
