How To Ask Your Bridesmaid's To Be in Your Wedding
Being asked to be a bridesmaid for a good friend’s wedding is a great honor. You can make it
a special moment that will let your girlfriend know that you request the honor of her presence
to stand up and be a witness to your wedding ceremony.
In this modern era many times your friends and relatives you wish to ask to be bridesmaids are
scattered across the country if not the world. It may be difficult for you to go and ask in person
and you want something warmer, more unique than just a simple phone call. What are some
ideas for you to make your request special? Read on and decide if one of the ways presented
is a way for you to ask the special people in your life to be part of your wedding day.
Asking Those Who Are Dear and Near
Having lunch with one or more of your intended bridesmaids may be a good setting in which to
ask if they will be part of your wedding party. You can make a special toast and incorporate
your request in the speech. Think of the surprise on your girlfriend’s faces when you ask for
their participation.
You can also present them with a gift wrapped book such as “The Bridesmaids Guide” as a
way to request that they be a bridesmaid in your wedding. The book contains all the
information your attendants will need to know to be of the utmost help to you on such a hectic
day. It also lists the responsibilities of the attendants for before, during and after the wedding
ceremony.
Requesting the Participation of Those Who Live Away
Your request can make more of an impact if you send a flower that you will use for your
wedding accompanied by a note explaining what the flower is for and if they will carry it in their
bouquet when they walk down the aisle before you. You can find a favorite photo of the two of
you and on the back you can remember the special time you spent that day and ask if she will
be in your pictures as one of your attendants on your wedding day.
You can really be unique and ask all the girls you would like as your bridesmaids to rent the
movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and ask that you all watch it wherever you are at the same
time. You can then text, email or IM your friends that this can be you and ask them to be in
your wedding party in this way.
