How to ask my friend to be my maid of honor?

Question

My friend lives out of state and I want to ask her to be my maid of honor in a creative way... not just over lunch, coming right out and asking her, or with a boring card. Any ideas? Maybe something I could send her.

Answer 1

a "will you be my maid of honor" package!  If you know shs is going to say yes then send

maid of honor survival kit

maid of honor charm or t shirt

a book on maid of honors duties

write her a nice letter telling her you can imagine anyone else but her with you that day!

Answer 2

surprise her! send her a box with a smaller nicely wrapped box in it.

on the nicely wrapped box write a note saying something like "are you ready for the quest that beholds you?" (or something like that) and once she opens the inner box, have a moh shirt, and tuelle that is the same color of your wedding, and a book inside (like a wedding planners book) and then inside of the book, have a note saying "do you accept or decline? my destiny is up to you" (or something to such affects)

that is how i'd like to be asked! =P

Answer 3

You could order her a zip-up hoodie (me and my M.O.H. got ours from bridalpartytees.com) and on the back put Maid of Honor and on the front put her name. Not only would this be a creative way to have her be your M.O.H. , but then she'd have something to wear during wedding preparations.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

To ask my best friend, I sent her an email with a detailed history of the tradition of the Maid of Honor. I didn't include any prologue in front of it and I titled it "History Lesson". After all the history and tradition I wrote, "I don't have a sister. You're the closest thing I've got and I am really grateful for that. So do you think that you'd want to stand and protect me on my wedding day as my Maid of Honor? It's a great position, doesn't pay well, but it's steeped in tradition!"

That's my personality though. She laughed and said of course as long as I didn't list her as a "matron" of honor (she got married last month) because it makes her feel old ( =

Sing her a song or write her a poem about how much she means (a cheeky poem, not a mushy one!) and let her make the decision!

Good luck ( =
