A bridesmaid is someone special.
A friend who is tried and true.

You're so important in my life.
I'd like you to be in my bridal party,
As I say "I do," to the love of my life.

Be near me on my special day?
You'd make a lovely bridesmaid
So yes is what I hope you'll say.
Please Be My Maid/Matron of Honor
I've been dreaming of my wedding day
As long as I can remember.
Sometimes it would be held in June,
Other times it would be in September.
Sometimes I'd carry roses,
And other times violets.
Many men have filled the role of groom,
But their names I would always forget.
Just one thing has been constant
As I dreamed of my wedding day.
You were always there beside me
Sharing the joy along the way.
And so I'm asking you, (name),
To take on a special task.
Will you be my maid/matron of honor
Is what I want to ask.
I can't imagine marrying (groom's name),
Without you standing near.
So please say yes dear (name),
And fill my heart with cheer.

Ways to Present Your Bridesmaid Poems
Once you've selected the poems you want to use, it's time to think about what you're going to do with them.
- Print the poems out on pretty paper and frame them to give as gifts to the people you're asking to be in your wedding.
- Enclose a printed poem in a card you give to your potential bridesmaid or make cards yourself and use the poem as the verse.
- Create an attractive shadow box and use the poem as the centerpiece. Then add decorative items around it such as silk flowers, photos of you and your potential bridesmaid, and anything else that holds meaning for the two of you.
- If you're musical, set the poem to a tune you create and sing it to the person you're asking. This could be really funny if you're using one of the humorous poems or very touching if you chose one of the more traditional poems.
- Keep Calm and Bridesmaid On would look great on T-shirts you give as bridesmaids gifts.
