If you want to ask someone to be in your wedding what is a good way to ask? Also do you think it is weird if you have 4 bridesmaids and 1 Juinor bridesmaid if you only will have 4 groomsmen? Then at the end of the wedding the Junior bridesmaid will walk by herself and not with an escort?

you call the person or invite them all for a lunch and tell them that It would be an honour if they were bridesmaids at your wedding. The junion bridesmaid can be by herself, I dont think that should be a problem.

Just ask. I'm pretty sure most women are more than happy to be bridesmaids. You shouldn't have to ask any special way. And I think it's okay for the junior bridesmaid to walk by herself, she's different from the regular bridesmaids. If you had one of the bridesmaids walk by herself, when the others had escorts, that would be weird. But either way, it's your wedding. You can do whatever you want. And you can always get creative if you want to. Have a good time with it!

To answer your bridesmaid questions yes it's absolutely acceptable. I'm only having three bridesmaids and my groom is having 4. We're having the last bridesmaid be escorted by two groomsman. Totally normal. You bridal party isn't about a popularity contests it's about your genuine friends/family.
Unless you can come up with an incredible creative way to ask your friends to be bridesmaids, just come out with it. It's really not important the way you ask.

I asked most of mine over the phone because they all lived out of town, and it worked quite well, I suppose in person would've been better, but circumstances didn't allow.
As far as your junior situation, It will be fine to do it that way. I have 4 bridesmaids and 3 jr. Bridesmaids and we only have 4 groomsmen as well. the Jr. girls will just walk out by themselves because I think it would be much funnier looking to have a 27 yr old guy walk out with a 10 yr old girl!

Well, the way one of my friends asked me to be in her wedding was she called me a week after she got engaged and asked what I was doing May 24th (this is in September a couple years back). I told her I had no idea and she said "well, you're going to be a bridesmaid in my wedding!". I was so excited!
The way my cousin asked me to be in her wedding was by calling my mother and asking if she could be the MOH and if I could be a bridesmaid.

The Jr. Bridesmaid idea sounds just fine.
I went to Hallmark and found a friendship card for each of my bridesmaids that sounded true to our relationship. Although they already assumed they would be in my wedding, I thought it was nice to send them a card to officially ask them :)

Junior bridesmaid idea sounds fine. Go with it.
As for asking someone to be your bridesmaid, I ask my girls individually. I took one of my friends to lunch and told her how much I valued her friendship and that I would love it if she would consider standing up for me in my wedding. Of course, I told her that there would be the cost of the dress among other things and if she didn't feel comfortable financially that she had no obligation to say yes.

You can do it however you want. No one needs to be escorted at all. I'd choose that RATHER than have a Jr. Bridesmaid left out in any way. (The teens and tweens are a sensitive bunch.)

I think it's okay for a jr BM to not have an escort, and did you know they also make cards for you to give to people you want to be in your bridal party. Do a Google search for bridesmaid cards and you will find what you're looking for. So send them a card and worry about bigger things, or you could just ask them.

I asked all my bridesmaids separately, in person. My sister-in-law lives in California (I'm in NJ), so i sent her flowers with a note that said "I would be honored if you would be a bridesmaid in my wedding."
I think it perfectly ok if your Jr. BM is walking alone. No big deal!
