I was looking for a nice way to ask my friends to be bridesmaids. I wanted to do some thing special for each of them. Any ideas?

0_0 i really did not have to ask them, all four of us have been best friend forever.
someone mentioned a flower idea, that sounds good.
you could drop a little gift off at the house, a little something that screams wedding and a will you honor me card.
how about you simply drop off a pic of you and that person and on the back you write "thanks for always being there for me, would you please help me out big time and honor me by being my bridesmaid" something like that.

I had a friend send a beautiful handmade card in the mail with a poem on it. You could send flowers with the question on the note. As nice as it would be to ask them in a special way you also want to make sure you don't put them on the spot or in a position where they will feel uncomfortable if they plan to say no. At the other extreme I had a friend who made a huge deal out of asking her bridesmaids and was shocked and hurt when that's how I learned that I WASN'T one of them.

here's an article from theknot.com:
Q&A: Bridesmaids: How Should I Ask My Friends?
Q. I want to ask my friends to be bridesmaids, but I am not exactly sure how. Do I just call them up and ask, or should I do something a little more personal? I really want to let them know how important they are to me.
A. Wow, it sounds like you're a great friend, and your pals must already know how much you treasure them. And the idea of making the occasion of asking each of them to be in your wedding a special one is fantastic! Take each of them out to a nice cafe or tearoom and ask them then. Make a female-bonding afternoon or evening out of it. Be sure to bring your camera and ask your waitress or another patron to take a picture of all that sisterly love. If you have a friend who lives far away whom you want to ask, consider writing her a special letter instead of just calling her up -- it'll be a keepsake. You could even ask her to respond in writing, so you'll have something for the scrapbook.
good luck!

Ask them all to meet you for lunch but don't tell each other that the rest will be there. Then we everyone gets there you can ask them. Or send them flowers at home with a note asking to be a bridesmaid....i like the second idea the best.

First, with the help of taking an physique of ideas which you're asking her to do YOU a want -- no longer doing her any favors. 2d, with the help of compiling an in intensity checklist of each and every little thing, and that i do advise each and every little thing, which you will assume her to do or purchase and then no longer watching for something from her that wasn't on the checklist. it is not a lot the variety you do the asking, it incredibly is how the two considered one of you get on after she accepts. do no longer enable her spend a non-fundable $3 hundred for a costume she does not much like and then drop a bomb like "BTW, i will elect you all day for the subsequent 4 Saturdays and the bridesmaids are chipping in $2 hundred each and each for the staggette and that i've got got here across a salon for our spa day at in basic terms $a hundred seventy five each and each." Get all the financial and strategic information straight away in boost so neither you nor she is posting "wedding ceremony Drama" questions right here next April.

I got married 4 weeks ago(June 9th), so I just got through everything that you're just beginning.
First of all, asking them to be in your wedding is something special for them in its own rite. I really wouldn't worry about coming up with a special way ask each of them, just ask them. I would spend more time thinking about a special gift to get each one of them, that's what my wife and I did.
Remember, don't get too stressed about the small things. There will be plenty of big things to stress about soon. Have confidence that everything will work out fine, it did for us and I'm sure if will for you. By the way, congratulations!

I sent all my girls flowers on the same day to ask them. The note said "I would be honored to have you as a bridesmaid in my wedding. Love, MyName".
They all loved it:)

go to a craft store or a party store that sells pre packaged wedding invitations. preferably blank for my idea...
print them out to be personalized invitations to be in the wedding (fill in date and info if avail)
mail them or deliver to them. you can do a meet me all and hand them out dinner or lunch or deliver 1 on 1.
i think they will be surprised if you do it this way.
me i just asked everyone via myspace cus they were all online the same time that day lol
hey so when we get married ya wanna be .... lol
all said yes

They also have hand-made decorated cookies to send too! Google "will you be my bridesmaid cookie"
