Girlfriends, cousins, sisters; choose the sweetest, prettiest but more importantly ones that mean the most to you as a person and as a bridesmaid!

We have selected the most original options for you!
How do I asked my loved ones to be my bridesmaids?
You can for example invite all the ladies at your home or somewhere on a special location, luring them in with an excuses such as a nice diner or drink. Prepare whatever accessories you'll need and make sure they don't suspect anything. You can for example have them all open a gift at the same time. Or if you wish to ask each of them personally, make a separate individual appointment or send them an original card.

Other special gifts
Personalized bottles
Women and wine love each other! Buy a bottle of wine and change the label with your own personal message. It's best if your new personal label looks a lot like a real wine label, the surprise will be even bigger. And after that you can open the bottle and start the party!
Fortune cookies
How much fun is it to be surprised during dinner? A fortune cookie with a personal message, a cupcake with text or rings. Super simple to bake yourself and to enjoy together. Obviously, women and chocolate is another great combination, so why not create your own personal wrapper for a chocolate bar? Ask your friends on the wrapper if they want to be your bridesmaids.
A box full of wedding fun
A homemade box with inspiration for the wedding and of course the big question… cut out some beautiful pictures of dresses, the style and theme of the wedding, matching corsages and maybe even some freshly cut flowers. Pick some jewelry or some nail polish (the same color for each bridesmaid), so you can better tell and illustrate what kind of wedding you envision.
