My intended bridesmaids live far away - I had wanted to ask them when i last saw them but there was always someone else around. The next time I see them will be at a wedding show and I really want to ask them before we go. Its both of their birthdays soon
SO i was thinking of sending them their birthday cards and presents and putting in a little card to say something along the lines of IOU one bridesmaids dress, with a little bit about how important they are etc What do you think? Would you be offended if you werent asked in person?
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

I was thinking of phoning but Im not so good with words so thought this might be a safer option :)

Thats a fantastic idea! I'd go with the card option rather than phoning xxx

i was asked to be my friends bridesmaid with a card that had a poem about the big day and then asking to be the maid of honour. it was a really nice way to do. especially with the sweets that she had put in the card :-)

Thats a lovely idea, they would probaly shed a tear or two its a lovely gesture
CommentAuthorSteffie
That's a lovely idea!
with my best bud, I told her when I was planning to propose, by text "How do you feel about being a Maid of Honour babe?" and she got all excited and thought I was already engaged but I told her my plan to propose over valentines weekend 2010 and she was excited for me.
When he said YES I asked my other best bud if she'd be a bridesmaid (but then decided to have 2 MOH's) and my cousin was thrilled when I asked her!
SO just ask the girls (or send them something cute like in your b'day card plan) and I'm sure they'll say YES!!! xxx
