10 Creative Ways to Ask “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?”

Don’t sweat ladies, if you’re lost on coming up with a great way to ask your friends to stand up with you, we’ve got some fantastic ideas to share.

1. The Bridesmaids Box – Complete with a copy of the oh so hilarious movie and a few other “movie night” staples, your girl will “get the point” with this fun and practical gift.
