This is my first post. I just wanted to share how I will be asking my bridesmaids, since I am pleased with how it turned out! I wanted to give them something special for the money they will be spending to attend. Most of their husbands/bfs are groomsmen too, and my fiance isn't doing anything special to ask them.
I ended up assembling a box containing a funny luggage tag that says "be my senorita?", a 2 year pocket calendar with the dates marked along with special dates in their lives - birthdays, anniversaries, upcoming weddings etc. and phone numbers of the travel agent and the bridal party in a little note section the calendar has, a mini bottle of champagne and a starfish! It cost me about $20 per bridesmaid.

Hi Ladies!
This is my first post. I just wanted to share how I will be asking my bridesmaids, since I am pleased with how it turned out! I wanted to give them something special for the money they will be spending to attend. Most of their husbands/bfs are groomsmen too, and my fiance isn't doing anything special to ask them.

For the calendar I used a template on Microsoft Publisher but i followed the directions from this website: http://diyfrugalbride.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-make-your-bridesmaids-planner_24.html
I will attach my template as well.
