Be my bridesmaid

The days of calling up a friend and asking them to be in your wedding seem to be fading fast. The new trend is sending elaborate packages or putting together neat surprises to request your friend's presence. Are you looking for something extra special to do?

I love the idea of sending a bridesmaid survival kit.

Some items you could include are:
Flip flops for when your feet get tired
Ear plugs for when you want to tune me out
Coffee for those late night projects
Bridesmaid tank top for the day of the wedding or the bachelorette party
Starburst for a burst of energy
Lifesavor because that's what you've been for me
Puzzle piece because you're an important part of the wedding and my life
Bandaids to mask all your boos boos from making invitations
Tissues in case you should cry
File if a nail should break
Calendar to keep us on track
Safety pins to hold your nerves

Include a note that says "I put everything in this handy pack so you'll know that this bride has got your back. Will you be my bridesmaid?" Or, you could stick with something more traditional like "You've been by my side through so much and I can't imagine you not being by my side when I get married. Will you be my bridesmaid?" *Photo courtesy of Better Life Bags.
