How to ask MOH

[JessicaM]

I have been thinking about a fun way to ask two of my best friends to be in my wedding. They are like my sisters (especially since I don't have any) and want both of them to be a part of my day!! Do you have any fun ideas on how I can ask the both of them??

 

I know you ladies will have some good ideas so please let me know what you think!!

Here is a link that I found on unique ideas for asking friends to be in your wedding party -

 

Wedaholic.com: Unique Ideas For Asking Friends To Be A Bridesmaid Or Matron of Honor

 

My two favorite ideas were making the memory book or giving them the bridemaid handbooks

[MsShelley]

here are some cute ideas

 

I will always fondly remember the special times we shared. You've laughed with me you've cried with me and always shown you care. So on that joyful day in "November" when I will be a bride, I would be honored as well as priveleged to have you by my side.

 

Will you be my bridesmaid?

 

Through the in's and out's

And thick and thin

No matter what's happened

There've you been

 

you smile when i need it

and listen when i grieve,

you hug me when i cry-

and blow boogers on your sleeve

 

I treasure you friend

More than diamonds or gold,

and i promise i wil

when we are saggy and old

 

So please stand by my side

when i say "I DO"

for I wouldn't be me

without a friend like you

 

 

It’s hard for me to believe

that in just a little while,

Rob and I will be

walking down the aisle.

 

And nothing would give me

more joy & pride,

than to have you

right there by my side.

 

Will you be my Bridesmaid?

 

 

4. The day, the dress

the bride, the groom

the joy, the tears

will all come so soon.

 

Professing true love

to my husband-to-be

with family and friends

all watching me.

 

I hope the sun

will be shining down

keep your fingers crossed

that I'll fit my gown

but there's one more thing

that there needs to be

and thats to have you

standing with me.

[MsShelley]

give them a hankerchief (personalized)

 

On the day that I marry this wonderful man,

please carry this hanky in your hand.

 

This token of friendship from my heart to you,

is to thank you for being there when I say "I do".

 

It's meant so much to have you near,

so many things have changed this year.

 

The one thing on which I could always depend,

was an open ear from you my friend.

 

If there are tears on my wedding day,

this hanky will gently wipe them away.

 

Thank you for all the support that you lend,

but mostly I thank you for being my friend.

 

Thank you for Everything.

 

 

 

 

09-02 For My Maid of Honor

For My Maid of Honor

 

To ready for a wedding there's just so much to do,

from choosing bridesmaid's dresses, to finding something blue.

 

I see so very clearly, how this wedding's only one,

of the many times you've helped me, when things needed to be done.

 

Simply to say thank you, just doesn't seem to share,

the feelings here inside me, when I see how much you care.

 

You are so very special and my heart is grateful for

the friendship that we share and will be forevermore.

 

Thank you for adding joy to my life.

 

 

 

My Maid of Honor

 

Our friendship just gets better, through every passing year.

But it really has been this one, that I hold truly dear.

 

In helping with my wedding, and knowing you will be,

sharing in this day, by standing up for me.

 

You've taken something special, and added from your heart,

all the things that made us friends, right from the very start.

 

And though our lives are changing, our friendship will stay true.

This my heart will count on, as my life begins anew.

 

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life.

[MsShelley]

I did this one for my MOH and Bridesmaids with a card and a rose. (or you can do chocolates)

 

The day, the dress

The bride, the groom

The joy, the tears

Will all come so soon

 

Professing true love

To my husband-to-be

With family and friends

All watching me

 

I hope the sun will

Be shining down,

Keep your fingers crossed

That I'll fit in my gown…

 

But there's just one more thing

that there needs to be…

and that's to have you

Standing with me!

 

 

Will you be my bridesmaid?

Some great ideas! I just asked them. It was kinda a given though since they already knew I was gonna ask whenever I got married. LOL

yeah, that's what happened with me! I even got one "I have been waiting for you to ask me!" lol!

Mine both live in different states than I do, so I mailed them a card and a leather id bracelet (RedEnvelope - Unique Gifts, Personalized Gifts, Luxury Gifts) in my wedding colors with their name on it. I only have 2 though - so I can spoil them more than if I had 6.

I used the same poem as Shelly and emailed my 9 BM's

[JaimeLynne]

Those are cute ideas!

 

When my sister told me that I was going to be an Aunt, she ordered one of those cookie cakes and when I opened it, it said "Congratulations Jaime, you're going to be an Aunt (Again!)!" Kinda cute
