How do I ask my friends "officially" to be bridesmaids?

I would suggest that you invite them over for a brunch opr drinks, and ask them once all of them are there; by presenting them with the boxes and tellign them how honored you would be in they could be your bridesmaids.

Hi Gina,

We asked ourselves that exact question and came up with a fabulous solution. When you have your gal pals all to yourself, present them with a gift that pops that all important question for you! They're gorgeous boxes that say on the outside 'Will You Be'....and upon opening they reveal the surpise...'My Bridesmaid' or 'Maid Of Honour'.  You can fill them with all sorts of goodies like some details you have collected already towards your big day, jewellery they'll wear on the day or perhaps a little something sweet they may like to indulge in.... They're a memorable and practical gift that your girlfriends or family will  cherish forever and here's the best part, they won't break into your much needed wedding fund either as they're under $10.

Hi Gina,

I wouldn't ask them all together. That would make it very hard for one of them to decline if they have to and may make them feel pressured into saying yes.  Also I think they deserve to be asked seperately since they're your closest friends (assuming).

All the best and good luck with your plan.

How lovely.  Most of our clients who personalised our Wines create a label saying "Will You Be My Bridesmaid" and they place it on the table at a dinner.   Their future bridesmaids then pick up the bottle and realise with great surprise as to what they are being asked.    That is how our brides ask, it is less official, more fun!

Hi Gina, 

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 

I agree with Danielle from Sweetcheeks Cookies and Cakes. I would organise a dinner with the girls and use that opportunity to "propose" to them. 

This is how I asked my bridesmaid and it was a lovely evening. 

All the best with the rest of your wedding planning. J

Hi Gina! 

Invite them for a girls catch up dinner (if they're all close enough geographically) and present them with a little box each with .... THESE ---> http://www.sweetcheekscookiesandcakes.com.au/shop/cookies/will-you-yes-no-cookie-set/

OR they can be shipped anywhere in Australia if your girls are spread out a bit. Flower girl and Page boy, groomsmen etc are also available ;) 

Have fun wedding planning, lovely and Congratulations!
