How far in advance do you ask your bridesmaids?
The best rule is to ask your friends and family members to be your bridesmaids anywhere between a year to eight months before your wedding. That will give them enough time to plan the bachelorette party and get their dresses. Any less time may not be enough for them to be able to make the commitment.
Do you have to ask someone to be a bridesmaid if they asked you?
No, you don’t need to ask her to be a Bridesmaid or Best Man. Perhaps you could ask her to be a personal attendant or do a reading during the ceremony. It sounds like you’re looking for a smaller wedding party; she’ll understand especially if you have friends whom you’re closer with or have known for longer.
Will you be my bridesmaid gift?
A “will you be my bridesmaid” gift box won’t be special without something personalized. Use this note to tell your bridesmaids-to-be how special they are to you and how much you would appreciate them sharing your big day. In short, write notes that your bridesmaids will want to keep forever.
How do you tell someone they aren’t a bridesmaid?
