When preparing for your wedding, one of the first things you need to check off the to-do list is finding your "team". There's the decision of how large you want your bridal party to be, whether you have an equal amount of friends and family on each side, who to pick... and HOW to ask them!

This is going to be your group of friends who you'll grow closer with through all of the parties before the big day. It's your group of friends who you're asking to potentially spend a lot of time and money on you. These are the people who will be standing behind you and supporting you and your marriage!

Often, little thoughtful details are what make a wedding memorable, so why not take some time to make your future bridal party feel special by proposing to them in a special way? Ditch the text message and send your bridal party some real mail! Below are three amazing DIY tutorials for creative ways to propose to your bridal party:
