For your wedding you want to be surrounded with your very best gal pals.  These girls will help you plan, construct, and hold your wedding dress up when you pee .  These special women will help keep your sanity and make the wedding and planning process fun and enjoyable.  They will laugh with you, cry with you, plan your bridal and bachelorette parties.  These ladies love you as you should love them.  You know who I’m talking about… your beloved BRIDESMAIDS!!!!!

Well, they’re not your bridesmaids YET.  So how will you ask them?  With a phone call? *Yawn*… BORING and uninspiring.  Of course they’ll say yes, but why not ask them in a special way?  A memorable way.  A way that makes them feel special.  One you actually put a little thought and effort into.  They’re worth it, right??

Below, are a few fun and creative ways to ask your gal pals to be your bridesmaids.   You don’t need to use one of these but hopefully they’ll get the wheels turning.

  Good luck ladies!! Happy planning!!

These adorable paperdoll style bridesmaids cards are from Once Wed.  They have a lovely step by step tutorial that makes this project seem super easy!  What bridesmaid could say no to these?

This is a much simpler way to ask your bridesmaids to be a part of your special day but still just as sweet.  Way better than a phone call !  via All you need is love events

This bride-to-be “proposed” to each of her bridesmaids with a ring pop.  She got down on one knee, popped the question then give each girl a personal letter explaining why it was important to her that they were a part of her wedding.  Such a sincere way to ask.  I love this idea from the Future Mrs Martin on the Weddingbee board.

Are your future bridesmaids tea or coffee drinkers?  If so a keepsake mug would be perfect for them.  You can order yours at Pressed Orange’s Etsy shop. 

Having a vintage wedding?  These lacy spools are super charming. I think it’d be cute to have a tea party with all your bridesmaids-to-be and give these as favors.  They’d look sweet sitting on each plate and would catch the girls by surprise.  via Emmaline Bride

Hehe… this one is pretty funny!  Such a doable DIY idea and there are soooo many ways you could design these bridesmaids storybooks.  All you really need is some photos, some craft supplies, some creativity and a sweet little story!  via Weddingbee
