Long-distance Bridesmaid

I had a similar issue. Me and my cousin have always been best friends and I always thought I would have her in my wedding. But the issue is that she lives in TN and I'm from OH. Ultimately I ended up just imviting her to the wedding and not having her in it. But if I had, I think I would have sent a card and alcohol. Because that's just how we roll. Lol. I don't think it should be anything too extravagant. But it is nice to feel like you're really wanted by the bride and groom sides on that special day, so I think some kind of small care package, would work well. I hope you figure it out, though and good luck! 😊

I just asked them all in person. I was able to see everyone. My MOH asked me to be in her wedding with a card from etsy that she mailed to us.

I asked in person when I saw my MOH for the holidays. Otherwise, I would have telephoned her. I did send a MOH bag I bought off Amazon.

My bridesmaid and my MOH both live over 6 hours south of me (we're all in California). My MOH comes up frequently since both her and her hubby both have a ton of family up here. I was able to ask my MOH in person (I did proposal boxes for all the girls). My bridesmaid doesn't come up here. I mailed her box (wasn't too pricey), but I also texted her to expect a package from me (just in case it got smushed). She was so happy she cried when she got it (she called me immediately).

So I'd say Skype, care package/proposal box, or a phone call. Let us know what you end up going with.

Both my bridal party members live on the East Coast while I live in California. A phone call works just fine. Is there some reason not to call? I personally think including an elaborate proposal/gifts puts unnecessary pressure on the people you're asking. Perhaps you could send a card with a nice note?
