    Why dont you do it at your engament party.. invite them all to it.. And have a special toast that you would like to give during it and have your side you have choosen and his side that is choosen and have them stand up beside you and ask them then..

    or

    send the girls a bouquet of flowers and have a note attached to it asking..

    or send them a card asking..

    Participate how? If you mean financially, don't ask them. An engagement party is not the bridal party's responsibility. If you mean to join in the celebration, send them an invite.

    Traditionally, the bridal party is responsible for bachelor and bachelorette parties, not engagement parties. If this is in place of, tell them that.

    Either get them all together or just individually ask them what they would think about helping out for the party. It never hurts to just ask and if they do not want to do it then they will just tell you. or if you do not feel comfortable asking them such a thing than maybe hint around that this is going on and how much work it would be for the two of you and see if any one offers to help out. Good luck and best wishes to you.

    surely not. For my wedding ceremony, we did our prepare consultation and dinner Thursday night. anyone got here decrease back to our condominium for lunch Friday morning/afternoon and then we embellished the reception venue for the reception, which became on Saturday night. i think of maximum of your bridal occasion will ask in case you pick help, otherwise, point out it and that i'm particular they'll come. My prepare consultation became at 6pm because of the fact we had some human beings coming from out of city (this way they could paintings an entire day, or maximum of it.). Our prepare consultation became half-hour and our dinner reservation became for 7:30 interior a similar city, to permit for some holiday, site visitors, and photographs.

    perhaps purchase a small gift for each and give them to them individually at the engagement party like a frame to fill with a wedding photo in the future! just go up to them together and say.. "hey... we'd like you to be in our bridal party" but i would definately let the 2 sisters of the groom know they will be on the grooms side personally.. don't announce it, incase it takes time for them to accept that..

    I say just ask them, that's how I asked everyone. I asked the bridesmaids and flower girl on my own, he asked the groomsmen and ring bearer on his own. We asked the best man and maid of honour together. I am the one who actually said it though, I'm sure! Just ask, no need to put on a big performance or show. :)

    I don't know if you're planning to ask them at your engagement party, but I think it would be funny if you said it aloud, "as you may know, " fiance" and I are getting married, lol, and we were hoping that " so and so" would be our .... bridesmaid, groomsman, etc.

    Good luck! :)

    They are all family so I would almost bet that they ASSUME they are going to be included.

    I see no reason to be nervous about this. Just ask. If the sisters think it's wierd that they would be "groomsmen" then I'm sure he can find some buddies to step in.

    if they know about the party,make a list,and give everyone jobs to do,and things to bring for that day,its your party,and thats what they are there for,if everyone brought food from home,someone else got drinks,decorations,youd have a smorgous board.
