Asking your closest girls to be your bridesmaids is a big deal - for you and for them. You're letting them know that they are so important that you can't imagine getting married without them. There are so many different ways to ask that are thoughtful and exciting, whatever your style may be. Here are a few of my favorite ways to "propose" to your bridesmaids.
Decorative Cookies (ex - Ahmisa's Custom Cakes)
These little pieces of art are, in fact, COOKIES. Ahmisa's Custom Cakes are known for their traditional and 3D sculpture cakes and cookies that are 100% vegan. Each culinary creation is hand-painted and sculpted by Kristi, a classically trained artist with a degree in sculpture from Maine College of Art. What better way to ask your closest friends to be bridesmaids than with an edible treat as beautful as these?
Personalized Champagne Bottle (ex - ProperPrintsPaper)
As a champagne enthusiast, I am incredibly partial to this bridesmaid proposal idea. There are plenty of beautiful options for personalized champagne or wine labels on Etsy - but this shop offers hand-written calligraphy on each one. I think it makes it more unique and elegant.
Funny Cards (ex -51Fold)
I thought this card was hilarious. It might not be for every bride and her friends, but I loved the humor behind this card and the shop on Etsy has tons of fun options that are equally as funny. It's a fun way to keep things light and goofy while planning a wedding, a task that is often herculean in nature.
Message in a Balloon (ex - saturdayiminlove)
Now I saw a friend of mine receive this bridesmaid invitation and I was FLOORED. I would never have thought of this fun little contraption that is both functional and fun. A note is slipped inside the balloon and all you have to do is pop it to find it! I think this is such a unique way to "propose" to your bridesmaid because it's really unexpected.
Scratch Off Cards (ex - InklingsPaperie)
Okay so I know I keep saying how much I love each idea - but this one I thought was just as cool and fun as the balloon concept. I would never have thought you could make a scratch off card! This card is not only beautiful and elegant, but it gets your bridesmaids involved in a really unique way.
Handpainted Wooden Frame (ex - LoveSmallTownUSA)
I don't know if I love this because of the quote or the distressed wooden "frame." I will say that I enjoyed the quote because I said something almost identical to my boyfriend about MY best friend when we started dating. Regardless, I loved this frame idea because I think personalizing each gift is a really nice thing to do for your friends, and this is a gift that can be treasured and used forever.
