Throw in a personalized card and a yummy snack. Your personalized card could say something sweet like “I couldn’t say ‘I Do’ without you!” Be sure to write a sweet, handwritten note on the back.

It’s my turn to “pop” the question. Will you be my bridesmaid? (Perfect for a champagne proposal!)
I’m not sure when or where, but I do know I want you there!
I’m a very lucky bride to have my girls by my side
My “I Do” wouldn’t be the same without you
Dance with me, laugh with me, cry with me, toast with me… stand with me?
