With all the thought you put into popping the question to your significant other, it’s time to get those creative juices flowing yet again to extend a similar invitation to your bridesmaids/groomsmen. It’s an honor to be chosen to participate in your wedding, so why not give your invitation a heartfelt touch of creativity? Instead of a phone call or email, try these memorable ways to ask your loved ones to be a part of your special day.
- Jewelry Gifts
A personalized piece of jewelry is a fitting gesture to ask your bridesmaids to participate in your wedding, but be sure to keep it simple! Bangles are a great idea in this situation, as you can write a personalized message on the inside of the piece and accompany it with a note to formally ask your friend or family member to become a bridesmaid. For the groomsmen, a customized set of cufflinks for each participant is a great alternative!
- Food-centric gifts
Do you or your significant other have a favorite local restaurant, bakery or candy store? In lieu of a phone message, send out small food gifts with a note asking the bridesmaid/groomsman to be a member of the wedding party. It’s a great way to brighten their way as well as extend your invitation with style!
- Personalized wine/liquor labels
Customized wine and spirit labels already make great gifts around the holidays, but they can also be a fabulous way to gift your wedding party members a special gift that will extend your invitation in a fun and innovative way.
- Wedding day shaving kits/makeup bags
Instead of giving your prospective wedding party members a special bag of necessities on the big day, send it in advance as your gesture of goodwill. Customized makeup bags popping the question on the outside or in a personalized note are great steps in the right direction, and you can do the same with small shaving kits for men. Be sure to remind them to bring them along on your special day!
