Bridesmaid Details Proposal Template!

I don't understand what else they would need to know besides the date of your wedding?

The other stuff is all really nice, I would leave it at that!

Anything beyond a gift seem SO high maintenance to me. I'd leave it at that.

This seems aggressive. I'm sure it's really cute and they'll like it but it's a lot.

Also, a newsletter with their role? I hope you just mean literally the word bridesmaid and not a description of their "duties".

I would leave it at the gifts, write "Will you be my bridesmaid?" and leave it alone.

anything else and I'd run the other way... way too high maintence for me. Their only job is to show up wearing the dress.

What if you write someone's bio in "the girls" section of your newsletter, but they aren't able to be a bridesmaid? You're putting a lot of pressure on them and they haven't even signed up yet. Calm down.

You mean like this? I made them all like this and placed them in the boxes

For Role i wrote this. As helping hand all my girls know its truly up to them i dont expect any of them to help me with anything i will just be happy for them to be there for me the day of. Many of them have called asking if theres anything i need help with. Lol i personally dont like asking for the help but its good to know if i need them they are there

Um. just ask them.

Don't give them a list of duties.

Don't give them crap they don't need.

Just.ask.them.

Lol i love the what were working with @thefuturemrsallen

I did boxes very similar to this! I Originally got the inspiration for these from dif. pics, will credit if I can find them.

ETA: Here is the link for the credit/template I worked from:

'your role' wasn't meant to be pushy or anything - simply fun silly stuff to get everyone excited! These were just a fun personal surprise I left for the girls, this is the first time they are landing on the Internet.

Definitely not for all brides, but my bridesmaids loved them!

I'm so confused. Things have gotten so out of hand these days...

LOL Angela

Apparently "show up bitch" isn't a good enough "proposal"

shrug- to each their own.

I wrote hand written notes for my bridesmaids when I asked them. I think putting their "role" on a piece of paper is rude and pushy, in my opinion.

LOL Jo - Seriously!

I feel like a lot of these outrageous "proposals" are for social media attention. It's a little out of control. Not my style, to each their own indeed.

Money wasted that could have gone to dress costs. Newsletter? Seriously? Bridesmaids don't have roles or duties. They buy the dress and show up on the wedding day.

So complicated. I already said, but will say again, this all makes it really hard for someone who can't afford to say yes to being a bridesmaid. So they'll say yes because they feel pressured. Then they will either drop out or get kicked out because they can't meet your expectations. All of this stress and drama could be avoided by just calling them up or getting together one-on-one, and asking them. That's all you really need to do.

Actually none of my friends posted their boxes on social media and neither did I since i wanted to avoid people wanting to know if they are invited drama, Im just very creative and wanted to do something special for them.

I am not sure why everyone is being so rude. I didn't mean role as put their duties and what I expect of them, I meant I had seen a lot of pinterest with a little packet with wedding details, colors, hotel that I am paying for us to stay at and transportation I am providing, inspiration photos. Alina- yes exactly like that. Half of my girls are out of state so I wanted them to have information about it and maybe photos of the other girls because some of them havent met. I also did hand written letters. Some people are cruel. But I guess everyone has an opinion. The role was to say how much I appreciate them and loved our friendship and couldnt wait for them to be a bridesmaid, not pressuring anything.

I would run outta there so fast if I got a sheet that said what my "role" is. Also, holy grammar, spelling, and typos on one of those ... I'd be too busy with my red pen to formulate a response.

I don't think anyone's being cruel, it's just a general consensus that it's a little over the top. I'm sure it'll turn out lovely.
