Need your help

As I mentioned in my last post, the wedding planning is indeed in full force around here. We are almost approaching the "one year" mark, as our wedding date is June 4, 2011. It seems SO far off, but the last six months have literally flown by. ANYWAY... I need some of you CREATIVE ladies help.
You see, I would consider myself pretty creative. I honestly think that being a teacher I am constantly creating stuff, so I come by it naturally BUT I have literally been racking my brain trying to come up with a clever and cute way to ask my bridesmaids to be in my wedding. I've been waiting until its about a year out and that is right around the corner. My bff Lindley asked us with the cutest little poem and a martini glass. It was very thoughtful and original (i like that). SO, if you could help me out in any way possible with suggestions of how you asked your bridesmaid or a way that you have been asked. Please email me at hmcchri@gmail.com because I know some of my sweet little ladies creep on my sometimes! :) I appreciate the help!!!
Since I despise a blog post without pictures, I'll leave you with some cute ideas I have seen brides use to ask their favorite gals.

I stole some of these pictures- so thank you in advance to those of you I stole from, you will know who you are ;).

{here is how Lindley asked us}

{cute handmade canvas}

Now, do ya get my picture a little? I need some ideas and/or a little inspiration because I have some really special gals, who deserve something wonderful. SO, again.. if you have been asked a unique way or you asked your girls in a neat way and don't mind sharing I would LOVE for you to help me out a little. Please email me at hmcchri@gmail.com! Thanks SO much. Hope you're staying dry and safe in all of this rain.
