Here are 8 thoughtful and stylish ways to ask your friends to be bridesmaids.

Send a Love Note

Who doesn’t love gorgeous blooms?  Celebrate the occasion with an illustrated Will You Be My Bridesmaid card adorned with dusty pink watercolor roses that ask each friend to be your bridesmaid (or flower girl)!  Tuck it into a coordinating bouquet of roses from Grace Rose Farm.

Pamper Her with a Gift Box

Surprise each woman with this luxurious Herbivore bath gift set, complete with the girlfriend soy wax candle.  Invite her to pamper herself after a long day because she deserves a little R&R.

Plan A Dinner Party

Throw a dinner party just for your bridesmaids with all the little details curated to perfection, from the invites to the gorgeously dressed table and thoughtful keepsakes; it’s all about creating a stylish and enjoyable space for your friends and family.

Raise a Toast

Monogrammed barware, personalized champagne flutes, or Chambongs help you pop, fizz, and clink in style!  Send in the mail with a tiny bottle of pink bubbly if you can’t ask her in person.

It’s Party Thyme

The relationships you have with each of your bridesmaids have been cultivated and nurtured over the years.  Celebrate with a potted plant in a beautiful planter.

Pajama Party

Who doesn’t love matching pajamas?  Gift each of your bridesmaids a set of monogrammed pajamas you can all wear on the eve of your wedding and while getting ready together the next day!

One-of-a-Kind

Curate a selection of earrings for your bridesmaids to wear on your wedding day.  And don’t think matchy matchy.  Pick a theme, like pearls or statement earrings, and choose earrings that will suit the personalities of each of your friends.  They will think of the thought you put into their choice every time they wear them!

Beauty Sleep

Invite your girls to stand by your side on your wedding day with these chic Silk Sleep Masks.  Give them to them now, at the beginning of your wedding season, so they can use them on the flight home from your bachelorette party or a destination wedding.
