Now that you’ve got the guy, it’s time to gather the girls! Asking your closest girlfriends to be bridesmaids at your upcoming nuptials is an extremely momentous occasion. It’s not enough to just drop a line; it should be a personal and well-thought-out endeavor. This is going to be the girl that’s holding your dress while you pee! She deserves it.
To make the most of your asking, try some of these creative tips. We bet the ladies are going to love them!
